Some of us might say we don’t believe in ghosts, but few of us are rash enough to say categorically that they don’t exist.
Author Sonia Smith does not try to persuade either way, however, the sheer number of apparitions, phantoms, ghosts and spectres of which she describes will cause even hardened sceptics to pause.
Sonia has selected 19 of the best local stories and includes chilling accounts of the werewolf of Southampton, the sighting of a black dog on the road into Andover, a phantom barge pulled by a ghostly horse on the Basingstoke canal, and a malevolent apparition who haunted a cottage near Fareham.
Sonia has spent a lifetime collecting ghost stories and paranormal tales and Hampshire and New Forest Stories of the Supernatural is latest of her spooky and spine chilling books.
