From unexplained sightings to the search for evidence of ghosts, this book contains a chilling range of spooky tales from Old and New Stevenage and the surrounding area. Compiled by paranormal historian Paul Adams, this collection features the restless phantom of Henry Trigg, whose coffin still hangs from the roof of a local bank; a spectral monk seen wandering the corridors of North Hertfordshire College; the mysterious apparition of Lady's Wood; and the extraordinary case of the Stevenage Poltergeist. Richly illustrated and drawing on historical and contemporary sources, Haunted Stevenage is guaranteed to make your blood run cold.
