Photographer Simon Marsden's interest in the supernatural began in childhood as he played hide-and-seek in the attic of his family's ancient house, ever vigilant for the appearance of the "family ghost". It wasn't until later that he discovered the craft of photography and developed an enduring fascination with the magic of time and light, and the enigma of "reality" that these elements conjure up. This collection of Marsden's atmospheric black-and-white images depicts eerie and fascinating places throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, including houses and mansions, castles and abbeys. Accompanying the photographs is his text describing the apparitions or spirit manifestations that have been reported at each site, and the strange and often macabre real-life events which are said to lie behind them.

An absolute classic for lovers of the supernatural...

I first came across this book in my high school library, about 1990. I fell in love with it.... Anyway, this is a beautiful book that features lots of Simon Marsden's infrared photos of castles, manor houses, spooky natural places, etc., from all over the British Isles and Ireland. A page or two decribing the ghostly phenomena associated with each locale is included as well. I spent nearly three weeks in Scotland seeking out some of the places in this book (and the book that followed, "Phantoms of the Isles"), but sadly, they didn't seem half as creepy in real life as they did in the book. I highly recommend anything by Simon Marsden...Happy hauntings!

The best true collection of ghost stories ever published

i first picked this book up when i was 10 years old. I'm 16 now and i still can't put it down. This is, without a doubt, the most chilling collection of stories i have ever come across. The contents of this book are psycologically affecting as well imagination provoking. I truly cannot say enough great things about this book. If you havn't read it-PLEASE do yourself a favor, and get ahold of The Haunted Realm.

One Heckuva Great Book

I've read this book probably 10 or 15 times, and I still haven't tired of it. The writing, the pictures, everthing is great! This is a must-read for anyone, even if they're not interested in ghosts or the occult. They don't come much better than this. That's just about all there is to say. Great book, must buy.
