Summary
Gathers information on sightings of ghosts. This work traces the origins of the myths and legends that have grown up around mysterious old places, and compares them with the contemporary accounts of those people who actually spend their waking - and sometimes sleeping.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
The houses and castles of Britainâs National Trust are teeming with ghost storiesÂeyewitness accounts of the spirits of former owners, staff, even pets haunting their former homes. Elizabeth, Duchess of Lauderdale is said to wander solemnly through Ham House in Surrey, sometimes accompanied by the ghost of her beloved spaniel. Anne Boleyn is reported to travel to Norfolkâs Blickling Hall in a coach driven by a headless horsemanÂand carrying her own head in her lap. The ruins of many historic houses and castles are similarly alive with ghoulish tales. In Ghosts, cultural historian Siân Evans interviews those who work and live in these National Trust houses. She also traces the origins of the myths and legends long associated with these haunted homesÂcomparing them with contemporary accounts to yield some very chilling results.
