The adolescent orphan who sparked poltergeist activity wherever she went…. the UFO which hovered for twenty-two minutes over the Dorset countryside…. the ghost of the mother forever seeking the child she lost a swamp…. The old woman's deathbed confession to the murder of her son's young wife – just four of the intriguing stories in Paranormal Dorset .

For his fifteenth book on Dorset, Roger Guttridge set out to write something that was ‘more than another county ghost book'. As well as re-examining and updating some of Dorset's best-known stories, such as the ghost of the schoolboy John Daniel at Beaminster and Sandford Orcas Manor's questionable reputation as the most haunted house in Britain, he introduces many lesser-known tales.

He has broadened the scope of the volume to include examples of other phenomena such as UFO's, doppelgangers, visions, remote viewing, out-of-body experiences and even fairies or nature spirits. Paranormal Dorset will fascinate believer and sceptic alike and is essential reading foe all with an interest in the county.
