Photographer Simon Marsden's interest in the supernatural began in childhood as he played hide-and-seek in the attic of his family's ancient house, ever vigilant for the appearance of the "family ghost". It wasn't until later that he discovered the craft of photography and developed an enduring fascination with the magic of time and light, and the enigma of "reality" that these elements conjure up. This collection of Marsden's atmospheric black-and-white images depicts eerie and fascinating places throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, including houses and mansions, castles and abbeys. Accompanying the photographs is his text describing the apparitions or spirit manifestations that have been reported at each site, and the strange and often macabre real-life events which are said to lie behind them.
