Publisher's Synopsis
Britain is full of ghostly stories - from the wraith of John Donne's wife to the Cock Lane poltergeist. Gillian Bennett has collected together the 100 best tales told to frighten and enthral over the last four centuries. Famous hauntings and familiar legends are combined with unusual and long-lost accounts of apparitions, boggarts, black dogs and 'unhappy houses' in this lively new collection.
