Hampshire and Isle of Wight Ghost Tales by Michael O'leary
The stories in this haunting collection are as ancient and recent, powerful and fantastical, real and imaginary, as the ghosts they feature. Here you will find chilling tales of a pond that fills with blood on Lammas Eve; a plague coach careening down a remote country lane; lost tombs in the forest; hovering skulls and something unnamable lurking in a Southampton sewer, all brought to life by noted storyteller Michael O'Leary. Richly illustrated with thirty original drawings, these spooky tales are perfect for reading under the covers on dark, stormy nights.
Michael O'Leary is a professional storyteller who has authored several folk tales books for The History Press. After leaving school he spent a life wandering, working in Ireland, Norway and Greece before settling in Hampshire. In his thirties, he studied Geography before becoming a primary school teacher, where he honed his storytelling skills. Michael has always been fascinated by the relationship between stories and place, and as a storyteller travelled extensively, telling stories everywhere from Crossmaglen in South Armagh to Prague to botanical gardens in New Zealand.
