25 True Ghost Stories

The author did not set out to write a book on ghosts, but rather the subject found him. Historically, he has written on relatively mundane subjects such as architecture, agriculture and antiquities. However, over the last 40 years, he has been told so many fascinating stories by first-hand witnesses, he felt it was the right time to write these true accounts down before they are lost in the midst of time. Some of the stories contained in this book are frightening, and some border on disturbing. The author decided to give each of the accounts a number between 1 and 10, 10 being the most spine-chilling. This should not be confused with the fear experienced by the witnesses themselves which in some circumstances were beyond any scale. The vast majority of the witnesses have been interviewed by the author himself where he often experienced the true look of fear in their eyes as they recalled their ghostly encounters. This is despite the passage of time which was in some circumstances 40 years or more. Some simply won’t tell their story, but the author often remedied this by sharing with them other stories he has been told. This gives a reassurance that there are many others out there who have had similar experiences and helps stop the isolation they often feel. The author has experienced extreme fear himself when sleeping alone in a haunted Victorian school (see Cry of the Rooks ) – the same building was affected by extreme poltergeist activity. This book is illustrated by paintings, colour images and photographs of the real locations described. – ASIN: B0D5SHYPTG | ISBN13: 9798325833106 | ISBN-13: 979-8325833106
