Discover the haunted heart of the West Midlands and Staffordshire.

Most people know this region for its industry, canals, factories, pottery, motorways, and hard-working people. But beneath the modern landscape lies something far older, a world of castles, manor houses, burial grounds, plague sites, court tunnels, ruined halls and ancient woodland. In this fascinating collection, Lisa-Marie Fox investigates the ghost stories, legends, and unexplained encounters attached to some of the region's most intriguing locations.

Inside, you will explore over 30 haunted locations, including Shugborough Hall, where the mysterious Lady Harriet and the Grey Lady are said to linger, Steelhouse Lane Lock-Up, with its oppressive cells, court tunnel, phantom footsteps, and strange activity in Cell 3 and Dudley Castle, home to the tragic Grey Lady, the eerie undercroft, and centuries of Civil War legend.

Do you dare to enter Warstone Lane Cemetery, where catacombs, Victorian graves, and ghostly figures create one of Birmingham's most atmospheric burial grounds or venture onto Cannock Chase, famous for black-eyed children, phantom soldiers, spectral black dogs, and terrifying woodland encounters?

A fascinating read for ghost hunters, sceptics, believers, and anyone drawn to the hidden history of Britain's most atmospheric places.
