  More macabre tales from Newcastle in this celebration of the city's dark side. The title describes some of the ghosts seen by ordinary people living and working in Newcastle and explores the history of the haunted buildings. It delves into the Victorian fascination with seances and spirit manifestations, and describes some of the shadowy corners of Castle Garth. It also re-examines a controversial murder trial, and the sordid fate of the condemned man's skin. The book contains archive photos, and illustrations of the stranger side of the city.
