This shuddersome and riveting book is a record of personal experience in scores of haunted houses up and down Britain by an internationally-acknowledged expert on ghosts and the supernormal.From the 'something large and white' that scuttled away into invisibility at a haunted cottage in Cambridgeshire, through seances at a haunting investigated at official level, to the spending of a stormy night at a lonely haunted church where several apparitions had been reported, movement of objects, unaccountable bell-ringing, mysterious noises, unexplained voices, curious odours and inexplicable door-locking, this unique and carefully documented record of a quarter-century of psychic investigation by the President of the ancient and highly-respected The Ghost Club, must present a serious challenge to the sceptic.The work also includes a fascinating account of The Ghost Club - its history, function and aims plus a wealth of previously unpublished evidence for paranormal activity at Borley, famous as the Essex village containing 'the most haunted house in England'.The author has been described as representing the 'middle-ground' attitude between extreme scepticism and uncritical belief. Colin Wilson, in a review of Peter Underwood's Into the Occult (1972) stated: 'Mr Underwood is a good writer who knows his subject'.The book is illustrated with many striking photographs of houses, churches and places at which strange hauntings have taken place.Jacket photograph: An actual photograph taken inside the famous Queen's House, Greenwich. The story of the ghostly apparition is told in the text. The picture shows the beautiful period stairway with a mysterious cowled figure (or possible two figures - note the fingers and the rings just below the wall sconce) creeping up the stairs.
