filled with so much information it took me months to read! the writing style is more academic and a bit wordy but so well-researched and so interesting so would definitely recommend to anyone interested in cultural history and folklore.
katynka_'s review against another edition
I struggled with this and couldn't finish. It felt like the author listed information rather than unpacked it, and after a while I completely lost interest.

A fascinating book regarding the history and culture of ghosts in the UK. Well researched and written. I really enjoyed reading about how the perception of ghosts has changed throughout the centuries from angry, fully visible ghosts to barely there apparitions.. Excellent read
