Everyone loves a ghost story - especially if it is true. 'Ghost Hunter' Paul Gater recounts here how far more people than is realized have encountered ghostly soldiers - from Roman to Roundhead, red-coat to mud-stained 'Tommy' from WWI or the phantom pilot from WW2. Evidence suggests that many linger not only as individuals but en mass, shocked, deeply traumatized, their spirits trapped by fear and terror that still haunts the sites of old battlefields from many periods throughout history. Roman soldiers 'still on duty'; Viking warriors and Norman knights protecting their land; princes and kings; ghostly replays that have taken place of events during and after both the English and American Civil Wars and the two great World Wars - all can be found in this thrilling collection.

BOOK TWO IN THE SHIRES MYSTERIES - A GRIPPING NEW COSY CRIME MYSTERY. When Maggie Kaye and Sam Dee join the Bishops Well archaeological dig, they are as surprised as everyone else to unearth a body that was buried there less than fifty years ago. It can't possibly be the remains of an ancient Celt. Maggie, with her usual flair - and psychic intuition - is convinced that there is more to this discovery than meets the eye. And some Bishops residents seem to know a lot more about the case than they are willing to let on. But nobody is as shocked as Maggie when a face from the past - a face she thought she'd never see again - appears in the village, and long-hidden secrets begin to surface. With danger at her door, and Sam by her side, can Maggie uncover the truth before it's too late? A TWISTY NEW WHODUNNIT, FOR FANS OF BETTY ROWLANDS, FAITH MARTIN AND JOY ELLIS.
