Alex Klaushofer started gathering ghost stories accidentally when first one person, then another, told her of their encounters with the supernatural. Her collection grew and she realised that more people than you would imagine have direct experience of the uncanny and that ordinary places hold layers of human experience.

The thirteen accounts in this volume tell of everyday hauntings in homes and workplace and communication between the living and the dead. Chronicling true events that took place in England and Wales, they open a window onto the way we see place and our relationship with the past.
