Ghosts of Kent Peter Underwood

The first expert exploration of the haunted houses and authentic ghosts of Kent, this volume is filled with fascinating true ghost stories from times past. Read about the curious case of Anne West of Old Bayhall Manor, who 'was always worried that she might be buried while yet alive', or the 'ghostly old gentleman' of Cleve Court in Minster, who, when he turns up, is treated 'more as a guest than a ghost' - because 'the dear old thing means no harm'. And there is Lympne Castle, where Underwood once took a party of Ghost Club members: 'I had just obtained a description of the room, when one of the Club members rushed into the kitchen begging me to accompany her to one of the towers where "something horrible had once taken place"...'.
