The British
Isles are arguably amongst the most spectrally populous parts of the world -
this guide is
aimed at anyone interested in the ranks of dismembered, decapitated spectres
that inhabit the countries' stately homes and blasted heaths. Region by region,
ghost-seeker Richard Jones reveals, explains and delights in the tales of the
tortured phantoms eager to restage their dark and turbulent pasts. The cast of
characters ranges from ghostly legionaries that tramp the long-buried streets of
Roman York to the malevolent fairy lights of Derbyshire's Longendale, from the
shade of Ladford's murderous vicar to the grief-stricken white lady who may or
may not have attended pop singer Madonna's wedding at Skibo Castle. The book is
illustrated throughout and features extracts from original documents.
Whatta great read!, 25 April, 2003
I started reading this book and just couldn't put it down! I've watched 'Ghosthunters' a few times and was surprised to see some of the places mentioned on the show in this book. The accompanying pictures were great in getting a place in mind. If you want to read about the haunted history of the UK..then read this book!

The most informative I have seen so far., 22 December,
2001
Richard
Jones has planned our trip out, step by step. I live in London, and I have
been on guided walking tours, but Mr. Jones has provided us with the details
and maps so that we may all explore on our on and take our time. I am
extremely excited about receiving his most recent book, "Haunted Britain &
Ireland". The only problem I have with the book is deciding which one I
should go on first. |

A MUST-HAVE Book if
you're visiting London, March 5, 2001
EXCELLENT book. Very well
written and moves right along. Fantastic, simple maps that look easy to
follow--going to give them the test next time I'm in London. Even without
being in London, just reading the text was extremely enjoyable. I've read
TONS of ghost books; and he's found haunts of London I didn't even know
existed; along with the "old standard" ghosts of Tower of London. This book
is INDISPENSIBLE if you're visiting London--or if you just need a good
scare! |
A splendid companion
for rambles in London!, July 1, 2000
Even for those who don't believe in ghosts! It's a good idea to have some sort of a quest when you travel, whether it be the search for the driest pub cider or the quintessential Wren spire. Without some such unifying theme, travel can become a pointless round of obligatory tourist stops. Hunting hauntings is an excellent quest because it inevitably involves two of the main joys of travel in England--history and atmosphere. I have spent four fascinating vacations in England seeking the most haunted site in the Isles and the ultimate English garden--with liberal dashes of theatre and museums for variety-and still I have only scratched the surface of each subject. "Walking Haunted London" was a wonderful addition to my most recent trip. I took the entire Chiswick walk (backwards) and did portions of the Old City, City of the Dead, Westminster, and Covent Garden walks. All creepily enjoyable! Not only are the walks well-described and the ghosts' stories enthusiastically recounted, but the book gives good hints about other important matters, such as cosy pubs and interesting historical sites on or near the routes. (By the way, I understand that Richard Jones also guides the "Original Psychic Ghost Walk" in London many nights of the year. I haven't taken this walking tour myself, but if his storytelling skills match his storywriting skills, it's probably great. If interested, check the TimeOut listings when in town.)
