We recently received a copy of Britain’s Ghosts: A spine-chilling tour of our most haunted places by Anna Groves, published by National Trust Books, to review. I’ve always enjoyed reading ghost stories, Uncanny is my favourite podcast, and thought this sounded a good read over Halloween.
Britain’s Ghosts: A spine-chilling tour of our most haunted places
Discover the stories of Britain’s greatest ghosts and ghouls with this spooky supernatural page turner, the perfect gift this Halloween.
- Supported by the National Trust, who look after many of the haunted locations.
- Beautifully atmospheric illustrations.
Whether you believe in ghosts or not, these gripping accounts of eerie apparitions and paranormal activity are bound to capture your imagination. Brace yourself for a journey into the strange and supernatural world of some of Britain’s most historic and atmospheric places as we uncover the dark secrets and untimely fates of the people who once inhabited them.
From mansions, inns and abbeys to forests, lakes and marshes – you’ll encounter smugglers, headless horsemen, mummified cats, phantom dogs, persecuted witches and many a lady in white in these uncanny tales from beyond the grave.
The book is set out geographically but I read through the book from beginning to end. This is a fun and light hearted book to read. I didn’t find it scary at all, or particularly spine-chilling. We have lifetime National Trust membership and it was fun to read about all the different ghosts which are said to haunt these properties, some of which were familiar to me.
Thanks to NetGalley for giving me an advanced reading copy for review. This also added to my Goodreads 2024 Reading Challenge, book 29 out of my goal of 25 this year!
