With settlements dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze ages, Chelmsford has a vast history to look back upon. Over the years the town has seen Roman occupation, the execution of the ringleaders of the peasant's revolt, and the Essex witch trials. Much of the more sinister history of England took place in Chelmsford, and it would seem that many of the participants--and victims--of these events still haunt the town today. Join author, broadcaster, and paranormal investigator Jason Day as he introduces you to the ghost of an angry nun, a phantom theater guide, and a spectral cyclist. Encounter the "Box Monster," the spirits of those women falsely accused of witchcraft, and the mysterious vanishing cloaked figure that dons a top hat.

From spectral nuns to phantom fishermen, Haunted Grimsby will take you on a journey from the ghosts of the past to the hauntings of the present. Visit the hotel haunted by shadowy children and the shop plagued by a malevolent presence; climb aboard the vessel manned by phantom crewmen and tour the museum with a ghostly guide....

In this fascinating volume, Jason Day takes you on a walk through the haunted history of his home town of Scunthorpe. Including some previously unpublished haunting accounts from the author's own case files, this book guides you through the town's paranormal hotspots and follows the apparitions into the surrounding villages and beyond.
