I’m pleased to announce that I’ve just signed a contract to write a fourth book for Amberley which is Paranormal Gloucestershire.
I’ve already begun visiting some of the fascinating locations in Gloucestershire which have a rich history and are surrounded by many curious tales.
These include some of the locations shown above: Woodchester Mansion, Tewkesbury Abbey and the Ancient Ram Inn, Wotton under Edge.
I’ve also visited Berkeley Castle, and my next visits will be to Chavenage House and Owlpen Manor.
As with my previous books for Amberley, this one will have 20,000 words of text and 100 original photographs.
Here’s a taste of what will be in the book.
Gloucestershire is a county rich in beauty, history, and a high level of spiritual, mysterious, and paranormal activity. With a profusion of haunted inns, castles, houses and landscape features, the sensitive continue to feel the presence of spirits of the past absorbed into the fabric of places as diverse as the Iron Age burial chamber of Belas Knapp Long Barrow, the prisons at Gloucester and Littledean, and the 12th century Ancient Ram Inn at Wotton under Edge. In this book I will also be looking at the stories behind the hauntings at Sudeley Castle, Chavenage House, St Briavels Castle, Woodchester Manson and Owlpen Manor.
Many report unsettling experiences at the Abbeys in Gloucester and Tewkesbury, the villages of Prestbury and Arlingham, and in the Montpelier and Pittville areas of Cheltenham. I visit eerie locations and unearth a selection of chilling tales shared by visitors. With everything I investigate in Gloucestershire I will question further to clarify the surprising or less well-known aspects, and unearth the quirky elements that may underlie what is known about the hauntings of this fascinating county.
