This book contains a collection of real-life ghost stories and supernatural experiences from nineteenth-century England. "Haunted Places in England" will appeal to those with an interest in ghosts and the supernatural, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage literature of this ilk.

Elliott O'Donnell (1872 - 1965) was an English author most famous for his many books about ghosts. Other notable works by this author include: "Werewolves" (1912), "Animal Ghosts" (1913), and "Strange Disappearances" (1927). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in high-quality edition designed for a modern audience.

I found this a mixed bag in terms of quality. About half the tales are engaging, while some are too slow-paced, and one was so rambling and boring that I didn’t finish it.
My favourite story was ‘The Head’. It’s about a headless woman who walks the same road on certain dark nights. You’ll hear the ‘tap, tap’ of shoes, which gradually grows louder, until the ghost materialises. The author does a great job with creating an eerie atmosphere.
Certainly worth a read. ( )
