A new book in progress:
Have you had a paranormal experience in Cambridgeshire?
Would you like to contribute to a new book asking the question: is Cambridgeshire Haunted?
Aiming for publication in Autumn 2025, I am collecting stories from individuals who have had paranormal experiences in Cambridgeshire.
I'm interested in stories small or large, from sceptics and believers.
If you would like to share your story, please get in touch!

About Me:
Having lived in Cambridgeshire for most of my life, my interest with ghosts began while growing up in Sawston during the 1980s. I became fascinated after discovering the haunted history of Sawston Hall. Over the years, I’ve read numerous books about the hauntings in Cambridgeshire (and the wider East Anglia) and listened to the experiences of those who have had ghostly encounters. These stories have inspired me to write my first book, Is Cambridgeshire Haunted?
