The Peak District is Britain's most popular national park with its miles of high moorland and unspoilt dales attracting millions of visitors every year. It is rich in folklore and traditions which stretch back to the dawn of history, with every village and hamlet having its own miscellany of strange happenings, from tales of headless horsemen to ghostly black dogs, boggarts and screaming skulls. Journalist and folklorist David Clarke has reached beyond the old legends by collecting personal experiences of the unexplained and documents all aspects of supernatural phenomena, from haunted lead-mines to stories of mysterious big cats, poltergeists and UFOs, using eye-witness accounts from residents and visitors. Supernatural Peak District takes the reader on a spine-chilling excursion through haunted Longdendale with its ghostly lights and spectral Roman legions to the Derwent Valley and its phantom Lancaster bomber that skims the waters of the Ladybower Reservoir on their first full moon of spring. including the cowled monk who patrols the Stocksbridge bypass and the ominous figure in black who guards the crossroads on the eerie moors. So, whether you are a seasoned ghost-hunter or simply a curious first-timer, this book will unveil a secret landscape beyond the tourist trails, just waiting to be explored.
