Source text (please read only from this text!): https://archive.org/details/hauntedhomesfami00ingr/page/n9/mode/2upPossibly no part in the world is more connected in our minds to hauntings, ghost sightings and gruesome legends than Great Britain with its numerous castles, old manors, shady streets and remote country abodes. Who hasn't yet thought of maybe one day visiting one of those places, only to feel for themselves the thrill of the creepy atmosphere of their rooms and dungeons, enhanced by the chilling stories surrounding them ?
In this compilation, John Henry Ingram (1842-1916) is offering the reader some 150 such places, gathering interesting, sometimes horrifying or even supernatural facts about the history and legends of these parts of Great Britain. (Summary by Sonia)
