If you are looking for traditional, stereotyped ghost stories, this is not the book for you. You won't find any cliched, chain-rattling ghosts roaming castle ruins in Tom Slemen's Haunted Cheshire, nor will you encounter any of the regurgitated Cheshire legends which pad out so many books on supernatural folklore. Within this volume Tom Slemen has brought together a fascinating and thought-provoking collection of stories from his extensive files on the paranormal. During the research for his previous books on the ghosts of Merseyside, which resulted in the Haunted Liverpool series, he accumulated a wealth of material concerning the county of Cheshire. Most of the stories came from Cheshire people who heard Tom's spot on several local radio stations. Cheshire listeners bombarded Tom by telephone, letters, faxes and e-mail, with intriguing tales of ghostly hitchhikers, doppelgangers, curses, angels, time-warps, banshees, vampires, witches, warlocks, and spine-chilling premonitions. The response was phenomenal and quite unexpected. In Haunted Cheshire, you can read about the voodoo curse of the bus driver from Poynton, the Winsford vampire, the mummified lady from Hollinwood and many more chilling tales of ghosts, poltergeists and strange happenings from around the most haunted county in England.

The ancient shipping port and market town of King's Lynn is an often overlooked repository of ghostly tales and legends. Apart from a compilation of stories in a 1986 booklet, the tales connected to this town are frequently ignored in books covering the area. Indeed, the same can be said of West Norfolk which would seem to have a very sparse ghostly population if one were to go by previously published books. This book helps to address that misconception. The town, in fact the whole area, is replete with many dozens of stories dating from the 18th century to the present day. Considering its small size, King's Lynn might even be one of the most haunted towns in the UK. This book details many stories that have accumulated over the decades; the alleged phantom fiddler said to have been heard exploring tunnels beneath a local park ... a mischievous ghost inhabiting a charity shop on a modern housing estate ... an evil spectre that wanted to push a bride-to-be down the stairs in her home to her death ... the less-than-truthful phantoms at an old RAF base ... and the antics of other worldly entities in care homes in the town. Comprising 306 pages (16 of which form a comprehensive index), most of the nearly 200 tales in this volume are being published in book form for the first time.
