The Ricketts' Poltergeist at Hinton Ampner chronicles one of England's most famous hauntings. Between 1765 and 1777, Mary Ricketts and her family endured strange disturbances in their Hampshire home. Rattling sounds, phantom footsteps, and ghostly apparitions plagued the Ricketts night and day. Neighbors offered explanations about smuggled treasure and past murders, even a monkey skull was presented as evidence, but no ordinary cause could explain the bizarre events. This book compiles six historical records of the case, including contemporary letters, diary entries and scholarly commentary. It presents the fullest account of the haunting ever published, allowing readers to evaluate the mystery and weigh possible explanations. For enthusiasts of British ghosts and haunted houses, this book provides a compelling and chilling tale.
