Ghost Tales from Victorian and Edwardian Bedfordshire
Seven stories from the Bedfordshire twilight
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
These seven stories bring together some of the finest supernatural writing from and about Bedfordshire in Victorian times and in the years before the Great War: one-hundred-and-twenty pages in the second in the Pwca Ghost, Witch and Fairy Pamphlet series.
Mrs J. H. Riddell tells of a secret duel and the resulting haunting of a Bedfordshire mansion. Ada Goodrich Freer solves the poltergeist mystery of Goldington Grange: follow the eyebrows... Jessie Adelaide Middleton does some of her own detective work on the spirit of the Wicked Lady Ferrers, who once rode the roads between Markyate and Dunstable. John Owen describes a terrifying night in the vicarage at Little Barford. George Hurst remembers Tim Goodwin, at Milton Ernest, and Tim’s unfortunate friendship with the Devil. A now long forgotten writer recalls a vision at a Christmas house party at Barton-Le-Clay. Then, Mrs Goodhall recounts her never-to-be-forgotten encounter on ‘the broad plateau of a high hill, between Willesden and Ravensden’.
