Peterborough, just an ordinary city full of people like you and me, steeped in a history, totally unique. We all know the past can affect the future, but what if it was more than perhaps you might think!
These are short stories of a contemporary setting about fictional people who each find themselves drawn into an adventure with a mystery to solve. Some contain true historical links and some are tales of strange happenings based around well documented ghostly occurrences. All are spooky tales one way or another and contain elements of a true ghost story. The 'Spirit of Peterborough' can see through all of time as he dips in and tells us these stories as they unfold before him.
From the couple that moved to the area to find their garden contains a secret from the past, to a young man who discovers that events of two decades earlier have played a major part in his life. Then there are the 'Ghost walks' that lead a couple of teenagers to the strangest of encounters with someone from the past . . . and what secret can an old relic innocently discovered three miles from the city centre possibly hold?
There is something here for everyone that likes a tale of the strange and the unusual, supernatural fantasy.
'Patches of light spring up from the suburban clutter, and I know that within each of those strong patches glows a story. And as I look beyond I can also see the green of the countryside where times long past merge with the present, where people have lived, loved, and died. Wherever I go I see further than the dark of a bitter cold night - much further.'
But who is The 'Spirit of Peterborough' ? What does he really see as he hands us the narrative.?
Once you've taken in the stories he tells, you may never see the City in quite the same light!
And if you are not from the area, I pledge you'll enjoy a truly unique experience reading this.
