“If ever any isles deserved the name Magic Islands, it is Britain.” Great Britain, home of haunted castles, famous specters and time-shrouded ruins, is a natural habitat for Professor Hans Holzer, ghost hunter extraordinaire. With the skill and dedication that have made him famous in parapsychology, he has traced the fascinating paths of some remarkable ghosts through Britain and Scotland. In these pages Holzer introduces us to the ancient halls of Longleat, Blanchland, and Leith Hall, each distinctively eerie and all populated by most unusual inhabitants. Through him and skilled mediums working with him, we encounter the ghosts of famous queens—Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard, Mary Queen of Scots and Katherine Parr. And we travel the English and Scottish countryside in search of engrossing psychic experiences. Holzer also takes us on an eventful tour through the home of Robert Louis Stevenson, who still seems to haunt his former residence. He even investigates the appearance of a monk—an apparition seen by several people—on an English television program. A most entertaining and thoroughly researched trip into that other world, The Great British Ghost Hunt is an exciting journey led by one of this world’s most renowned psychic researchers.

Read on if you dare.
This giant collection includes a huge range of 20th-century first-hand accounts of hauntings, such as the American troops who repeatedly saw the ghosts of a dead platoon of men while on patrol in Vietnam; and the witnessed haunting of a house near Tintagel in Cornwall that led actress Kate Winslet to pull out of buying the property. It covers the full spectrum of credible hauntings, from poltergeists (the noisy, dangerous and frightening spirits that are usually associated with pubescent girls, like the Bell Witch), to phantoms (like the Afrits of Saudi Arabia) and seduction spirits (such as the Lorelei, which have lured German men to death). Also included are the notes of the most famous ghost hunters of the twentieth century such as Hans Holzer, Susy Smith (USA); Harry Price, Jenny Randles (UK); Joyce Zwarycz (Australia), Eric Rosenthal (South Africa), and Hwee Tan (Japan). Plus essays by such names as Robert Graves, Edgar Cayce, and M. R. James outlining their own - often extraordinary - conclusions as to just what ghosts might be; along with a full bibliography and list of useful resources.
