The ghosts of Britain are numerous, and in this book (catalogued and placed in alphabetical order) are well over two-hundred 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 and Bettiscombe, Hampton Court and Hinton Ampner, Glamis and Great Bealings, but also lesser known hauntings such as those associated with Woburn, the Gargoyle Theatre 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.

Download or read book The Roadmap of British Ghosts written by Ruth Roper Wylde and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume of The Roadmap of British Ghosts. Ruth had always made an assumption that there would only be one volume, which would be the definitive map of ghosts that haunt our highways and byways. But those pesky ghosts have different ideas, and keep popping up in new places, or places where people thought the hauntings had faded away. Ruth keeps databases of the encounters she either finds whilst researching, or which people write to her about. When the Road Ghosts database started to fill back up, she realised it was time to produce a Volume 2. She's also learnt to never say never: already more accounts are trickling in about the ghosts on our roads and the database is starting to swell again... Ruth continues with the ethos she has used throughout her six books: these are the encounters real people have in real situations. Nothing is embellished and each story is exactly as it was told. The only change Ruth makes is to people's names as most people choose not to have their name published. Assume therefore that most of the names you read are pseudonyms - but the locations, dates, and accounts are all completely accurate. What makes Ruth's books so unusual and so well loved in this field is her research. Having found or been given one account for a location, she goes out to the public and searches for other people who have encountered anything unusual there. This is a real boon for ghost hunters and other researchers who find her books an incredibly useful reference tool for which hauntings are very active in the paranormal sense. So, as Ruth would say, grab to the book, grab your camera and digital recorder, and get out there to check out these different locations. You never know what you might capture...
Download or read book The Almanac of British Ghosts written by Ruth Roper Wylde and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the ghosts of Britain who seem to prefer - according to legend - to only haunt on one particular night of the year. It acts as a calendar year book, giving the tales on a month by month basis. It describes the original story or legends associated to the haunting, as well as any historical reference. It also then looks to see if any more recent paranormal activity has been recorded at each site so that the reader can determine for themselves whether a particular location is still active in a supernatural sense. The hauntings are usually eerie, sometimes bloody, and quite often downright peculiar in their nature. Also included are some of the strange supernatural tales associated to a particular date and location. This book is also designed to be read as a calendar year book for the avid ghost hunter, since you could use this to check whether there are any hauntings nearby you could go and check out on any given free date you happen to have coming up.
