' Haunted is a wonderful book: part history, part rumination on life, and, of course a haunting book about ghosts.... Beautifully written, fascinating, deeply moving and thought-provoking.' - James Holland'A proper page-turner....
A fascinating tangle of witches and mermaids, drowned fishers and dead warriors, ghostly planes and spectral horses.' - Christopher Somerville, author of Ships of Heaven'One of the most enjoyable books on the paranormal I've read.
Neil Oliver creates a bucket list of places to visit, perfect for both paranormal investigators and history buffs alike.' - Nick Tyler, author of Haunted Yorkshire.......................................................................................................................................................................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..............................................................................................................................................................................................................'Oliver is an evocative storyteller, vividly bringing his tales to life' BBC History Magazine
