Edgar's Guide to Haunted London
By Richard Jones and Adam Wood
Imagine yourself hunting for ghosts in old alleyways and tumbledown churchyards, or gazing into sinister courts to view whatever horrors lurk therein. Picture yourself nervously sipping a pint as your eyes dart nervously around the shadowy recesses of a haunted pub, or stepping into the timeless interior of an ancient church and hoping to catch a glimpse of the phantoms that roam within. Well, now you need imagine and picture no more, because, armed with Edgar's pocket-sized guide to supernatural London, you will be able to do all of these spooky things and many more besides. You'll have the opportunity to stand outside the most haunted house in London, home to something of such evil malevolence that few who have encountered it have escaped with their reason intact. Then there's the ancient monastic foundation from which the moans and groans of 14th century plague victims are said to emanate on moonless winter nights. How about the old graveyard where tradition holds that the performance of a certain ritual will cause a spirit to rise from the tomb and haunt you for the remainder of the night? With this little guidebook in your hand, you'll be able to stand at the locations where ghosts are said to lurk, on your own, with your family or friends, or possibly even a total stranger you've encountered along the way and talked into joining your sojourn into the supernatural. Then, one of you can read the ghost story to the others in your spookiest voice and watch as a look of fright crosses their faces. Turning to leave, you might even notice that the total stranger who was standing there listening but a moment before, has somehow vanished into thin air!
