Haunted Castles of Britain
Behind every castle wall, history is waiting. Some say the dead are waiting too. Britain's castles have witnessed royal executions, brutal sieges, political betrayal and centuries of private grief. Long after the battles ended, stories remained-of headless queens, phantom children, warning drums and women in white, grey and green. In Haunted Castles of Britain, Tracey Humphrey journeys through twelve of the country's most atmospheric fortresses.
