Summary

First published in 1971, Gazetteer of British Ghosts was the result of a quarter of a century of study and on-the-spot investigations by one of the leading authorities on haunted houses. 

The first comprehensive guide to the ghost population of the British Isles, it covers a subject that still fascinates and, at the same time, still terrifies. The ghosts of Britain are numerous, and in this book (catalogued and placed in alphabetical order) are well over 200 accounts of ghostly happenings, ranging from the legendary to the factually presented and the scientifically investigated. 

Included are details not only of such famous haunted houses as Borley, Bettiscombe, Hampton Court, Hinton Ampner, Glamis, and Great Bealings, but also lesser known hauntings, such as those associated with Woburn, the Gargoyle Theater in Soho, St. Albans, and Bury St. Edmunds. A full bibliography details all the best books dealing with true ghostly experiences, selected from the author’s library, which is considered to be the most extensive private collection of such books.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Dated, but interesting

Although written over 50 years ago, and quoting even older stories, its interesting.

Nice just to hear some classic stories, including that of "scratching Fanny" .

Stories I knew as a kid, ( maybe not the Scratching Fanny one ) , and without all of todays ghost hunting shows with their green lit screaming crap.

And not a mention of orbs and evp"s...
