For as long as I can remember I have had an interest in East Yorkshire, visiting the towns and villages along the coast as a young boy, and spending time there as a teenager. Places such as Spurn Point, Withernsea, Hornsea, and more.
As years progressed I picked up on local stories, stories that had been around for many centuries, but passed along from generation to generation. I soon began collecting, collating, researching and investigating these stories, peeling away at the surface of these stories and uncovering startling truths that lie behind them.
For me East Yorkshire was always overshadowed by neighbouring North Yorkshire, but on this ghostly road trip, just as many spooky stories were uncovered.
Along the way I uncovered stories regarding phantom animals, to ghostly nuns, spectral wraiths, haunted houses, and bloody murderous tales.
Mike Covell, who has previously appeared in such television shows as Most Haunted, Most Haunted Live, Paranormal Lockdown, takes us on a trip through East Yorkshire, visiting towns and villages, researching stories passed along by the locals, and digging into these stories and using historical archives to explore their origins.
Featuring hundreds of case studies, historical timelines, contemporary sources, maps and photographs, this book is the definitive guide to ghosts and hauntings in East Yorkshire.
