pub, a traditional old coaching inn or a more modern establishment,
these are the places where people have seen ghosts, heard them, smelt
them and - most frightening of all - felt them. We delve deep into the
mysterious phenomena that have baffled investigators, and terrified
landlords, cleaners and customers for years. Here the hidden secrets
behind these strange goings-on are explored and revealed in chilling
detail. Some tales will leave you shocked and shaken, while others are
as entertaining as they are bewildering. History, folk memory, anecdote
and eyewitness evidence are all pieced together in these eerie and
evocative true stories. We stop off at old coaching inns, pubs and
alehouses, encountering spectral highwaymen, monks, Cavaliers and Roman
soldiers. We uncover the ghostly fate of serving wenches, old regulars,
heartbroken maids and murder victims. We find hotel rooms haunted by
benevolent, playful and curious spirits as well as plagued by
poltergeist activity. Jill Armitage invites you to join her on this
journey and share in her fascination for the strange and spooky. Haunted
