Ghosts, witches, unexplained mysteries, and the supernatural -- these perennially popular themes are the basis for this fascinating Ghost Series. Each book relates the ghost stories from one region of Great Britain. The authors have had a life-long interest in the paranormal, and the tales they record here span the centuries, illuminating the dark corners of history, as well as the customs and beliefs of local people past and present. The books are all illustrated throughout with photographs, line-drawings, and archival material.

If you should catch a glimpse of the hapless Anne Boleyn drifting through the Tower of London or hear at Barnwell Castle Marie le Moyne's anguished "Secret. I can never betray my soul's secret", you will not be the first to encounter these ghosts of Britain's royal homes. Haunted Royal Homes presents a fascinating account of the ghostly events which occur in twenty-six houses of our royal heritage and describes their historical background in vivid detail. Not only are possible explanations given, but also intriguing insights into the characters who played a part in the original events. The author concludes with a bold personal definition of the nature of haunting, which she is convinced has a firm scientific basis.Ghosts, witches, unexplained mysteries, and the supernatural are the basis for this fascinating Ghost Series which relates ghost stories from Great Britain.
