England: a route between spirits and unsolved mysteries
Saturday, June 7th, 2008On Friday the Republic I found an alert interesting for fans of travel and mysteries, for devotees of 1408… This is a book, or rather a guide “The Penguin book of ghosts” (available on amazon.co.uk to 9.74 pounds) which proposes a route between skulls and ghosts for a holiday English “fear”, wandering between skulls speakers and spectra of animals without head, wives murdered and growers ghost.
A text to navigate the places contaminated with supernatural presences in which Jennifer Westwood and Jacqueline Simpson have reviewed a list of localities British assediate by ghosts.
County for the county tell the stories are more surreal: two young wives, killed at Cleeve Corner, near the village of Prestbury in the county of Gloucestershire and Armboth Hall, in the Lake District, returning to the place of the crime with a veil and bouquet. In the county of Cumbria, where stands the Muncaster Castle, from 1880 the skulls of two peasants condemned unjustly shout revenge. In the district of Kensington, east London, tells the story of a woman dead from 15 years whose ghost has appeared on the day of death of her husband.
There are not even the ectoplasmi animals: in the village of Stanney, in Cheshire, people are frightened by the spectre of un’anatra without head. And in the county of Shropshire village Hyssington is terrified by a bull with eyes fiammeggianti.
