Eight Ghosts : The English Heritage Book of New Ghost Stories

Eight authors were given the freedom of their chosen English Heritage site, from medieval castles to a Cold War nuclear bunker.

Immersed in the past and chilled by rumours of hauntings, they channelled their darker imaginings into a series of extraordinary new ghost stories.

Following these stories by the eight contemporary writers is a section by Andrew Martin on ghost stories and the sites that inspired them, and following that a section on accounts of strange happenings and sightings at a selection of English Heritage properties, often as recorded and related in interviews with site staff.
