Authors Jennifer Westwood and Jacqueline Simpson have written a county-by-county guide to the hundreds of tales that have been repeated down the years.

While some may scoff, the collection contains hundreds of accounts from people convinced they have seen headless horsemen, screaming skulls or supernatural packs of dogs.

Poltergeists, ghostly figures in country churchyards and strange auras in houses are recorded across the country.

Have you seen a ghost? Do you believe in the supernatural? Or do you think it’s all in the imagination?
