Newcastle, the largest city in the North East, has a long and proud
history stretching back to Roman and Saxon times. Its position
defending the mouth of the River Tyne gave it an importance in the
medieval border wars with Scotland and by the sixteenth century it
controlled the coal trade from Tyneside to the rest of England. The
city became an industrial powerhouse in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, and the legacy of civic buildings, industrial
heritage and housing can still be seen throughout the city. Today
the city is as well known as a cultural and commercial centre as an
industrial city, and its distinctive past and present-day identity
is a vital part of the city's heritage. Newcastle is steeped in the
supernatural and paranormal and many places both grand and everyday
have rich and complex stories to tell. In this book author Steve
Watson investigates the rich supernatural heritage of this city at
places such as the castle keep, the site of infamous local gaols,
and the nearby Black Gate, which has seen hundreds of years of the
bloody history of Newcastle; the Literary and Philosophical
Society, said to be home to sixteen ghosts ranging from a
Witchfinder General to a little girl; the Tyneside Theatre and
Opera House where a stagehand and a performer died tragically; the
City Hall; and many more. Paranormal Newcastle takes the reader
into the world of ghosts and spirits in the city. These tales of
haunted places, supernatural happenings and weird phenomena will
delight the ghost hunters and fascinate and intrigue everybody who
knows Newcastle.
