Ghost Stories from the Coast, Dales and Beyond
By Pip of Redcar (Philip Chisholm)
From the storm-lashed shores of Redcar and Saltburn to the lonely Yorkshire Moors, ancient abbeys and forgotten cottages, GHOST brings together 29 atmospheric tales of mystery, history and the supernatural.
Drawing upon a lifetime of adventures, family memories, local legends and unexplained encounters, Pip of Redcar takes readers into a world of restless spirits, haunted inns, ghostly sailors and secrets buried for centuries.
Beautifully illustrated with traditional black-and-white etchings, this captivating collection blends historical storytelling, humour, nostalgia and spine-chilling suspense.
But be warned. These are not stories to read alone on a dark winter's night.
So draw the curtains, turn down the lights, pour yourself a favourite drink and settle into your armchair. Allow Pip of Redcar to lead you through forgotten passages, moonlit graveyards and places where the past refuses to remain buried.
And should you hear footsteps upon an empty staircase, a tapping beneath the floorboards, or a whisper from the darkness behind you, whatever you do, resist the temptation to look.
Some places never forget. Some stories refuse to die. And perhaps, after reading GHOST, you will never look at the darkness in quite the same way again.
