The British Book of Strange Encounters
50 Paranormal Cases from Ghosts to UFOs and the Evidence Behind Them

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
A ghost that named its murderers in an Edinburgh court. A poltergeist in a north London council house, witnessed by a policewoman. Lights in a Suffolk forest that an American officer described into a tape recorder.

Haunted houses, phantom armies, sea monsters and lights in the sky: for more than four hundred years, ordinary people across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland have reported things they could not explain, and some were taken seriously by judges, doctors, police officers and the Ministry of Defence.

The British Book of Strange Encounters gathers fifty remarkable true cases, from a black dog in a Suffolk church in 1577 to a figure caught on CCTV at Hampton Court in 2003:

Ghosts: the Brown Lady of Raynham, the Cheltenham Ghost, Lord Lyttelton’s warning
Poltergeists: Enfield, Borley Rectory, the Cock Lane Ghost
Creatures: the Devil’s Footprints, the Black Dog of Bungay, the Cottingley Fairies
Haunted places: Edgehill, the Screaming Skull of Bettiscombe, Glamis, Pluckley
UFOs: Rendlesham Forest, the Calvine photograph, Howden Moor

Every case goes back to the earliest records: trial transcripts, letters, police logs and Ministry of Defence files. Each ends with The Record, rating the evidence, and The Verdict. Some mysteries are solved. Some are hoaxes or stories that grew in the telling. Some remain genuinely unexplained.

Fifty self-contained chapters, perfect for one story at a time on a commute, a walk or a late night. Fair to believers and sceptics alike, and a perfect gift for anyone fascinated by ghosts, UFOs and British folklore.

Fifty strange encounters. Fifty sets of witnesses. Decide for yourself what really happened.
