Haunted Hartlepool and East Durham (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Since prehistoric times mankind has had a fascination with death and ghosts. Whether we regard them as just tales others tell or encounter them ourselves, they cannot easily be dismissed. The folk of Hartlepool are a practical lot - best known for their pragmatic hanging of a monkey as a Napoleonic spy. But with its rich history, ghosts abound and the earliest dates from the Saxon era; but it has found company over the centuries! While up in the former colliery communities in East Durham there are, among the rich lore of spectral sightings, many tales attached to a Geordie King Arthur and his Knights and the hope that they will one day lead an industrial renaissance. So read on and discover the supernatural goings-on from the North-east.
