Steeped in legend and mystery, the dramatic coastline of North
Cornwall is riddled with stories of hauntings throughout history.
The eerie wilds of Bodmin Moor, the haunted historic castles and of
course the spirited, rugged coastline all have terrifying tales to
tell. Michael Williams has been at the heart of some incredible
investigations, and shares here some of the most chilling accounts
of hauntings. Including previously unpublished accounts of ghostly
activity, this is a treasure trove of original material and
re-examined cases. It unravels stories which will send a shiver
down the spine of anyone interested in the rarely advertised scary
side of North Cornwall.
A Grim Almanac of Staffordshire is a day-by-day catalogue of 366
ghastly tales from around the county. Full of dreadful deeds,
strange disappearances and a multitude of murders, this almanac
explores the darker side of Staffordshire's past. Here are stories
of tragedy, torment and the truly unfortunate with diverse tales of
freak weather, bizarre deaths and terrible accidents, including the
young girl cut to pieces by a machinery explosion, the tragic
deaths of 155 men in the Minnie Pit disaster of 1918, and the
theatre performance where the gun really did go off, mangling the
actor's hand and causing a severed finger to fly across the stage.
Uncover tales of fires, catastrophes, suicides, thefts and
executions - it's all here. Generously illustrated, this chronicle
is an entertaining and readable record of Staffordshire's grim
past. Read on ... if you dare!
