New Book Unearths The Ghostly History Of Cumbria

Steve Watson's latest book, 'Paranormal Cumbria', offers a fascinating exploration of the eerie and ghostly side of one of England’s most scenic counties. Released as part of Amberley's popular paranormal series, this 96-page guide dives deep into the rich and, at times, grisly history of Cumbria, from its northern towns like Carlisle and Penrith, through the picturesque Lake District, down to the southern coastal towns of Barrow-in-Furness and Grange-over-Sands.

Steve, a seasoned psychical researcher with a background in leading ghost walks in the North East, takes readers on a journey through the haunted history of the county. With over 100 photographs, 'Paranormal Cumbria' doesn’t just tell you about ghost sightings and strange occurrences - it brings them to life. Whether it's tales of restless spirits in forgotten corners of old towns or unexplained phenomena in the Lake District's rugged landscape, this book provides a mix of spooky accounts and historical context.

For ghost hunters and paranormal enthusiasts, the book offers a detailed look at specific sites, each backed by Steve's research into local folklore and eyewitness testimonies. Those familiar with Watson’s previous works - 'Paranormal Newcastle' and 'Paranormal Sunderland' - will find 'Paranormal Cumbria' a fitting companion. He also recently released another title, 'Paranormal Middlesbrough & Teesside', further expanding his exploration of northern England’s supernatural side.

Available now on Amazon and through Amberley Publishing, 'Paranormal Cumbria' promises to intrigue readers who are captivated by ghost stories and Cumbria's mysterious past. Whether you're a believer or a sceptic, the book invites you to look at the county through a different lens - one filled with haunted tales, uncanny happenings, and the ghosts that are said to linger in this beautiful part of the UK.
