This collection reveals that the English see more ghosts than any other nation, with distinct spirits inhabiting each region. From the ancient Celtic specters of Cornwall to the northern dobies and boggarts, these apparitions vary greatly. Some are vocal, others silent; some carry the scent of old leather, while others are fragrant with thyme. The book presents a treasury of sightings, spanning from medieval times to the present day, featuring ghosts who seek justice, peace, or simply amusement.
