Haunted Places of Dorset by Rupert Matthews

Everyone loves a ghost story. There's almost nowhere on earth that doesn't have tales of the supernatural that have been passed down through generations since time immemorial. Even so, Dorset seems to have more than its fair share. These stories of hauntings in Dorset, covering the length and breadth of the county, include: The two phantom men of Shaftesbury leading a ghostly packhorse The spectre of Squire Plumber of Sturminster Newton, seen running across the nearby fields followed by a pack of hounds The ghost of Sir Walter Raleigh, who haunts the grounds of Sherborne Castle The famous screaming skull of Bettiscombe The ghost of the handsome Duke of Monmouth, who can be seen riding inland from the harbour at Lyme Regis mounted on a white horse Rupert Matthews' journey through the haunted places of Dorset will absorb and fascinate even hardened sceptics. He has made the collection of ghost stories his life-long interest and is a member of the Society of Psychical Research and The Ghost Club. He is also the author of several other popular volumes in this series.
