Hauntings

For longer than recorded history there have been stories of spirits and of places where our hackles rise and our skin turns cold. Neil Oliver travels the British Isles to unpick these stories, exploring thirty or more places that are haunted or haunting. At each place he visits, he uncovers its history, giving context to the event for which each is famous or infamous. Then there will be the haunting. From Inverness to Devon, Co Dublin to Norfolk, Oliver highlights the ghoulish stories told generation after generation - and considers why they matter.
