Synopsis

As long as there has been a movement in the corner of your eye, a strange noise in the dark, or a chilling feeling in your stomach, there have been ghost stories.

Ghosts have haunted mythologies across the world for millennia – from Scotland’s Green Lady to the duppies of the Caribbean, every folklore has tried to explain the mystery of where people go after they die.

Ghostlore reveals the sinister stories behind the phantoms that have terrified history. From mischievous German poltergeists to Nigerian Madam Koi Koi, who haunts schools looking for unruly children, discover 50 misunderstood and mysterious ghosts from around the globe.

Icy Sedgwick is a folklore blogger, host of the Fabulous Folklore podcast and author of DK’s Rebel Folklore. She has also written several dark fantasy, supernatural and horror novels. She has been fascinated by the occult, unusual and bizarre for as long as she can remember. She is based in the UK.
