English Ghost: Spectres Through Time 

The English Ghost: Spectres Through Time

Peter Ackroyd

From the publisher:
The English see more ghosts than any other nation. From medieval times to the present day, stories have been told about ghosts who avenge injustice, souls who long for peace and spooks who just want to have fun. “The English Ghost” is a treasure trove of such sightings; comical and scary, like all the best ghost stories, these accounts, packed with eerie detail, range from the moaning child that terrified Wordworth’s nephew at Cambridge to modern day hitchhikers on Blue Bell Hill.
