Northumberland Stories of the Supernatural

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 Cramlinton pit, and of a grandmother from Blyth who came back from the dead to retrieve her treasured war-time medal.

Other stories tell of a phantom hunt complete with horses, men, hounds and a fox seen at Haltwhistle, a blacksmith from Stamfordham who can heal wounds from several miles away and a couple who travelled back in time and fell in love with a pretty cottage near Alnwick, long ago demolished.

The author describes these and other chilling encounters, in a spine-tingling way which makes compulsive reading.
