Haunted Castles of Britain and Ireland

Ghastly ghouls that inhabit castles

Britain and Ireland are arguably among the most spectrally populous parts of the world - this book has been designed for those interested in the ranks of the headless spectres and ghastly ghouls that inhabit these countries' castles.

Ghost-seeker Richard Jones reveals

Region by region, ghost-seeker Richard Jones reveals, explains and delights in the tales of tortured phantoms eager to restage their dark and turbulent pasts. The cast of characters ranges from ghostly queens that hurl themselves from the ramparts to malevolent monks that wander the corridors, from the shades that tour the infamous Tower of London to the grief-stricken white lady who may or may not have attended pop singer Madonna's wedding at Dornoch's Skibo Castle.
