Stories of the supernatural have been passed down through the generations since time immemorial. Every age and every geographical area has a large fund of tales which cannot be explained, even by those who do not believe in them. Dorset's own stories are many and varied. They include the two phantom men of Shaftesbury who lead a ghostly packhorse; the spectre of Squire Plumber of Sturminster Newtown who is seen running across the nearby fields followed by a pack of hounds; the shade of Sir Walter Raleigh who haunts the grounds of Sherborne Castle, the famous screaming skull of Bettiscombe; and the ghost of the handsome Duke of Monmouth who can be seen riding inland from the harbour at Lyme Regis mounted on a white horse. Rupert Matthews' journey through the haunted places of Dorset will absorb and fascinate even hardened sceptics. He has made the collection of ghost stories his life-long interest and is a member of the Society of Psychical Research and The Ghost Club. He is also the author of several other popular volumes in this series.
