Description - Hauntings: A Book of Ghosts and Where to Find Them Across 25 Eerie British Locations by Neil Oliver
Oliver travels the British Isles to explore the history of its most haunted places and and unpick why these houses, landmarks and other eerie places are so unsettling.
For longer than recorded history there have been tales of spirits and of places where our hackles rise and our skin turns cold.
Bestselling historian Neil Oliver travels the British Isles on a deliciously spine-chilling tour that spans several centuries and explores more than 20 sites - castles, vicarages and towers, lonely shorelines and forgotten battlefields - to unpick their stories..
Oliver invokes his family's history alongside that of kings and queens past as he probes why our emotions and senses are heightened in certain locations where the separation between dimensions seems gossamer thin. Our landscape is riven with these places, creaking from the weight of the secrets they hold, the echoes of tragedy and dark deeds . From Inverness to Devon, Co Dublin to Norfolk, Hauntings casts an enjoyably eerie glow with stories that, told generation after generation, are inextricable from place - and considers why they matter.
