Paranormal Cornwall

by David Scanlan

Cornwall has a long and fascinating history of ghost stories, from ghostly ships seen traversing the coastline, phantom smugglers and pirates to grisly murders and lonely suicides. Those who live in Cornwall or visit the county are never far from a place associated with the paranormal. In this book author David Scanlon investigates the myriad ghost stories that are to be found in Cornwall. These tales of phantoms, spooks and spectres include the multiply-haunted Jamaica Inn on Bodmin Moor and its Smugglers Museum, made famous by Daphne du Maurier, the mermaid who spirited a man away at Zennor and took him for her husband, and the lonely and eccentric vicar of St Bartholomew’s Church in Warleggen whose ghost haunts the pathway leading to the vicarage, and many more encounters with the paranormal.Paranormal Cornwall contains these and many other narratives which will delight the ghost hunters and the spiritualists, make the sceptical think again, and send chills up and down every spine.

This was fascinating! As someone who has lived in Cornwall all their life, there’s a significant portion of my own history that I didn’t know, and as a lover of all things myth and ghost stories (even if I am a non-believer), this has just added to my love for the county I call home.
