Audioraamat: Hauntings: A Book of Ghosts and Where to Find Them Across 25 Eerie British Locations

Neil Oliver is such a very good writer. Haunted is a wonderful book: part history, part rumination on life, and, of course a haunting book about ghosts, both apparitions reportedly seen and heard, but also the lingering memories, shadows and spirits of those from the past. This is a beautifully written, fascinating, deeply moving and thought-provoking book that lingers in the mind long after the last page has been read. -- James Holland A proper page-turner. Neil Oliver blends personal reflections with vivid stories, rooted in the culture and history of these islands - a fascinating tangle of witches and mermaids, drowned fishers and dead warriors, ghostly planes, spectral horses and the 'thin places' where this world touches the Otherworld. -- Christopher Somerville, Walking Correspondent for The Times and author of Walking the Bones of Britain Wonderfully evocative. One of the most enjoyable books on the paranormal I've read. Neil Oliver creates a bucket list of places to visit, perfect for both paranormal investigators and history buffs alike. I was particularly impressed with the way in which Oliver explores the fragility of life and death and our idea of what a ghost actually is. -- Nick Tyler, author of Haunted Yorkshire Book of the Week: Oliver's book offers just as many rational explanations for sightings as it does sightings themselves ... he wears his historian's hat to good effect. -- Mark Mason * Daily Mail *
