Your chance to win 'This Spectred Isle: A Journey Through
Haunted England' by Simon Marsden. Published by English
Heritage. The order line for anyonone wishing to buy copies
of ' This Spectred Isle' is 01761 452966.
The walls of Clifford's Tower bleed. Thomas, Earl of Lancaster stalks
Dunstanburgh Castle carrying the mangled head which Edward II's
bungling executioner took eleven strokes to sever. The Rollright
Stones possess a strange force that can fling you to the ground
and confuse the mind. The brooding towers of Reculver echo with
the cries of a baby sacrificed by the Romans. Whether you are a
believer in ghosts or not a visit to an historic site is bound to
be enhanced by the stories that cling to it. And this journey through
England focuses on the 'other side' of the picture. Guidebooks will
tell you about the architecture, the history, the people who lived
and worked and died in these historic places. But here you will
find the legends and the mysteries, the tales of the unexplained,
the shivery unknown, and the fascinating stories that bring the
place to life and clothe the ruins. The stories are a journey, starting
at Tintagel on the north Cornish coast, and ending in the far north-east,
at Lindisfarne Priory on Holy Island. They are a journey in time
too, from the unknowable mysteriousness of the prehistoric through
to the ghosts of the Second World War. All kinds of sites are here,
including Neolithic tombs, Roman forts, Norman castles, medieval
abbeys, Tudor mansions and World War II airfields. Draw back the
veil and meet the ghosts of England's haunted heritage. Simon Marsden
is an internationally acclaimed photographer specialising in the
fantastic and supernatural. He has written several books including
The Twilight Hour; The Haunted Realm and Journal of a Ghosthunter.
