Review
Author Jonathan Sutherland admits that he doesn?t know whether or not ghosts exist, but points out that inexplicable things are reported every day. It is true that any visitor to London will soon hear of the capital's mysteries - hundreds of which feature in this glossy book. Lots of the spooky events featured here are already well known - the haunting of 50 Berkeley Square, for instance, and the ghosts of the Tower of London. But many others have previously received little or no publicity. Indeed, on researching for this book Sutherland uncovered much material that even he, an expert on the paranormal, had not heard of before. So we learn of the stench of death inexplicably encountered at Bank tube station, the spectral man who leaps into the Thames close to Cleopatra's Needle, and the ghostly nun of Mill Hill. Illustrated with black-and-white prints, this volume is ideal for those who would like to take a tour of the capital's creepiest spots. (Kirkus UK)
