Northumberland with its powerful, brooding scenery, sparse rural population and rolling mist off the sea lends itself well to all manner of ghosts, paranormal sightings, fairy rings, monsters, wraiths and plants with magical properties. Ghost-hunter Michael Hallowell relates his stories with utter conviction and includes a wealth of folklore, legends and first-hand accounts. There are stories of a weeping boy from Berwick upon Tweed, a phantom motor car seen near Hexham, a malevolent ghost who sent men to their deaths down Cramlington pit, and of a grandmother from Blyth who came back from the dead to retrieve her treasured war-time medal. The author describes these and other chilling encounters in a spine-tingling way which makes compulsive reading.
