SynopsisFrom the 'Mad Old Woman' who searches a London cemetery for the children she supposedly murdered to strange laughter, apparitions, and floating orbs, Haunted Places features 150 outstanding photographs of haunted sites, each with a caption explaining the story of the haunting, from tragic accidents to brutal murders, executions and diseases., 150 superb colour photographs Expert text explains the fascinating stories behind 100+ spooky locations Wide selection of houses, hospitals, castles, palaces and ghost towns from all around the world, The strange cries heard at night in a dilapidated penitentiary, the glimpse of a 'White Lady' floating through a graveyard, the face at the window in a room that has been locked for decades - stories of hauntings never cease to intrigue us. From palaces to prisons, from an 11th century chateau in France to 'The Island of the Dolls' in Mexico City, Haunted Places features the world's most fascinating spooky locations. Some hauntings are recent, others are ancient, but all the stories are striking: from the deceased monks who pace the boundaries of a ruined former priory, to the lift operator in a Canadian hotel still working his shift decades after he died, to the infamous Vlad the Impaler, who haunts a Romanian castle where he was imprisoned for seven years. With tales of the 'Mad Old Woman' who searches Highgate cemetery in London for the children she supposedly murdered to strange laughter heard at night, from apparitions to floating orbs to radios suddenly changing station, Haunted Places features 150 outstanding photographs of haunted sites. Each eerie photograph is accompanied by a caption explaining the story of the haunting, from tragic accidents to brutal murders, from executions to disease and other sorrowful endings.
