The stories in this haunting collection are as ancient and recent, powerful and fantastical, real, and imaginary as the ghosts of myth and legend they feature. Here you will find chilling tales of restless Vikings, doomed to haunt their former sparring grounds; the mysterious haunted picture of "Cunning" Murrell; the distraught countryman of Canvey Island forever searching for his horse and cart; and the specter of a runaway funeral carriage. Read about phantom highwaymen, dastardly smugglers, strange wartime encounters, foul murders, and one-eyed strangers, all brought to life by noted storyteller Robert Hallmann. Richly illustrated with 30 original drawings, these spine-tingling stories interweave fact and fiction to create perfect tales for reading under the covers on stormy nights.

Genre: Borley (England)
ISBN:

"Borley Rectory was the house that gained infamy as "the most haunted house in England" after its ten-year-long paranormal investigation by the psychic researcher; Harry Price. Price dedicated his life to uncovering the truth behind the paranormal, leading him to become one of the most well-known psychical researchers of all time. It was his investigation into Borley Rectory which by far became the most famous case in Price's long career, eventually leading to the Victorian house being crowned the 'most haunted in England'. This book ... document[s] his ten-year investigation into exploring the nature of paranormal phenomena surrounding Borley Rectory. The rectory was attributed to classic poltergeist activity, wall-writing, mysterious fires and supernatural manifestations. Most notable of these is that of the figure of a nun, known for walking across the garden. Also appearing was a spectral carriage and team of horses driven by a headless coachman. It could be said that the story of Borley Rectory is as much a story of a haunted house and ghosts as it is about the living. Borley's saga includes sensationalist tabloid headlines, a scandalous affair and a captivating investigator whose discoveries are still questioned to this day"--Amazon.com.
