It's baaaack! At last, a revised, expanded, and redesigned edition of this classic, out-of-print book. VERY revised, I might add. Twenty-seven sites have been removed: Featherstonhaugh Castle, Elm Vicarage, The Hermit’s Chapel, Moreton Corbet Castle, Barcaldine Castle, Long Meg and Her Daughters, Watton Priory, Castle Bernard,Cold Ashton Manor, Alloa Tower, Castle Grant, Ardoginna House, St. Michael’s Mount, Haverholme Priory, Duckett’s Grove, Barbreck House, Dunstaffgne Castle, Corby Castle, Nanteos House, Woodstock House, Ethie Castle, Winter’s Gibbet, Arch Hall, Warkworth Castle, Rushton Triangular Lodge, Dacre Castle, Cadeby Hall. [Mystifyingly, the preface does not indicate why the changes, but I've heard from someone who says he was in touch with Mr. Marsden that the author indicated it was to make it a better book.]

And the following 17 sites have been added: Arley Hall, Cheshire; Allerton Park, Yorkshire; Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland; Blicking Hall, Norfolk; Bolton Priory, Yorkshire; Botallack Mine, Cornwall; Brompton Cemetery, London; Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire; Hampton Court Palace, London; Kilcomin Graveyard, County Tipperary, Ireland; Lindisfarne Castle, Northumberland; Margam Castle, West Glamorgan; Pendragon Castle, Cumbria; Roche Abbey, Yorkshire; The Rollright Stones, Oxfordshire; St. Alban’s Church, London; St. Michan’s Church, Dublin, Ireland.

No matter which sites; you'll still enjoy Marsden’s elegantly eerie, infra-red photos.

Forman, who has a real feeling for a time warp, sensed a massacre at Newark Castle, later confirmed by an historian. Cortachy Castle's ghostly drummer boy who warns of a death in the family. The ghost of the Duke of Cumberland's valet, seen with his throat cut at St. James's Palace. A huge ghostly monkey seen at Drumlanrig Castle.

Newport Priory, where a ghostly child cried for her lost dog until the stuffed pet was returned to the house. A monk who rings the bell of the old Monastery Guest House. Ghostly plainsong at the crypt at Canterbury. Forman speculates about the reasons behind ghosts and tells of her own ghastly encounter with an evil creature that looked like a lemur with huge, hideous eyes.

This is the return of an old favorite of mine. I carried it briefly in a previous catalog, then it went out of print. Penguin has brought it back to life and I know you're going to enjoy these unearthly adventures in exorcism by a down-to-earth Anglican priest. A slimy octopus-like thing that killed with its eyes. The bad-tempered Captain Lucas in his ghostly night-shirt and cap who kept shooing a little boy out of his bed. A whistling suicide who pestered his widow until he got through. An "incandescent, leering" female ghost who hated the Anglican Church, but became quite human when the living tenants of her house held parties for her. Starting with the title, an absolutely wonderful book!

A “must-have” for Underwood’s many fans. Haunted inanimate objects, time slips, aerial phenomena, haunted battlefields, ghosts and animals, haunted trees, castle ghosts, and ghosts of the dead and famous, like the malevolent couple that haunted the sinister-looking actors Conrad Veidt and Boris Karloff. Some sections are good and meaty, with lots of details to sink your teeth in; others are just appetizers, whetting your palate for more. The weird story of a dead Korean farmer who spoke through a mirror in his bedroom. Number 10 at RAF Colerne, a semi-detached house haunted by the dead crew of a crashed airplane. The bloody ghost of a soldier at the Batterie Mirus gun site on Guernsey. A time-slip re-enactment of the funeral of Richard Duke of York overheard by a schoolmaster and his wife in 1976. An absolutely horrid feeling of clammy evil within her car that repeatedly overtook a woman driving at the Four Sisters Crossroads, Stratford St Mary, part of the A-12 near Ipswich.
