From terrifying accounts of apparitions, manifestations and other similar paranormal phenomena, to first-hand experiences of spectres and spirits, this fascinating collection of haunted tales contains some new and well-known spooky incidents from all around the county of Surrey.

In compiling this book, the author draws on many historical and contemporary sources, scouring the length and breadth of the county to include accounts of the ghostly monks of Newark Priory, the spirit riders of a horse and carriage at Hog's Back, the ghost of a naked woman in the Silent Pool, strange apparitions in 1930's style clothing at Kenley railway station, and the notorious old rake, Field Marshal Ligonier, at Cobham. These are just a few examples of the many spooky and fascinating tales of Surrey hauntings you will find in this book.

The book opens with stories of the ghosts of the Thames Valley, before going on to feature paranormal accounts in The Heath Lands, The Downs, Guildford, and finally The Weald.

In addition to the many ghost stories, the book is also packed with plenty of interesting photographs depicting various areas in Surrey where all kinds of paranormal phenomena are said to have occurred.

In the introduction to his book, the author, Rupert Matthews, says he has collected "hundreds of stories about the ghosts of Surrey" over the years, and has talked to dozens of local people who have experienced paranormal phenomena first hand.
