From heart-stopping accounts of apparitions, manifestations and related supernatural phenomena to first-hand encounters with spectres and spirits, this collection of stories contains new and well-known spooky tales from around the county of Surrey. Drawing on historical and contemporary sources, the author has scoured the length and breadth of the county to include accounts of the ghostly monks at Newark Priory, the spirit riders of a horse and carriage at Hog’s Back, the ghost of a naked woman in the Silent Pool, apparitions in 1930s’ clothing at Kenley railway station, and the notorious old rake Field Marshal Ligonier at Cobham – and many more!
