For over thirty years, in his position as President and Chief Investigator of the Ghost Club of Great Britain, Peter Underwood was actively involved in undertaking night vigils and carrying out research into ghosts and paranormal activity in controlled, scientific conditions.This volume presents accounts of nights spent in haunted houses - and the stories associated with them. The majority of these nocturnal enquiries are conducted by a group led by Underwood - practically every investigative visit includes a Ghost Club Society Council Member (a full list of 'the places and the people' is provided in an appendix to the book).Chilling accounts of hauntings that will make you shiver include: - The tragic young man who returned to his former home and the site of his suicide, drawn by his love of the daughter of the house's latest tenant.- The spirit monk and mysterious knocking and rapping of Shingle Hall.- The evil, invisible presence at Eton Vicarage that gripped the vicar's wife tightly by the throat and almost strangled the terrified woman.- The horror of the spirit of nine-year-old Isabelle of Berry Pomeroy Castle, whose power was so strong that she followed investigators home..
