Haunted Land by Paul Devereux
From the earliest times people from diverse cultures have felt the landscape to be teeming with spirits and spectres. In Haunted Land bestselling author Paul Devereux marries mysteries of the past with eerie unexplained phenomena that still haunt us. In an extraordinary piece of research he uncovers the remains of medieval death roads, spook paths and spirit places and reveals how their pattern can be traced throughout Britain, Europe and ancient America. This fascinating and thoroughly researched book: - Explores phenomena such as 'ghost lights', spiritual traditions and spirit sightings in Britain and around the world; - Separates superstition from actual events, and examines the evidence for the existence of spirits in the landscape; - Presents the most lucid single-source account of the relationship of medieval witchcraft to an archaic shamanism in Old Europe; - Shows the links between Chinese Feng Shui traditions, the myth of the Wild Hunt in Europe, fairy lore in Ireland and modern-day Western beliefs; - Reveals fascinating case studies and eyewitness accounts from the past and the present.
