Millions of people have seen or believe in ghosts, and this book contains the largest number of haunted pubs in England yet published. Even Prince Charles raised a glass to the Victorian ghost of a Master of Hunt at Stainforth, Yorkshire. There are 600 stories and 170 images of pubs in Haunted English Pubs (2011) detailing ghosts, spectres, poltergeists and demons who visit sleeping people for sexual purposes.

These are known as succuba and incuba, the female and male demons, known since Roman times. Usually, the ghosts are human manifestations, but there are many pubs haunted by as animals such as cats, dogs, cockerels, pigs and horses. Many  people take these accounts seriously, and there is a dedicated Ghost Club, many paranormal groups and even a degree course at the University of Paranormal Studies.

Believe in ghosts or not, here is a

unique compilation of all personally

researched tales about phantom

guests who continue to frequent

many of England’s historic

pubs from the likes of Dick Turpin,

Jack the  Ripper, Oliver Cromwell,

Charles 1,.murderers, suicides,

screaming  skulls, and the Devil

himself.

1,000 towns and villages, travelling

by train and bicycle, to pick up

fascinating yarns and images of

their haunted pubs. Dating  back
