Dark spooky castles haunted by ghosts - what could be more of a cliche? Hamlet's father's ghost, stalking the walls of Elsinore, is burned into the mind of every high school literature student. Yet haunted castles do exist, and not just on lonely Scottish moors or German hillsides! On every continent, from the Gothic keeps of Europe, to the exotic battlements of old Japan, to the lonely Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town, such places can be found. In Haunted Castles Of The World, Charles A. Coulombe takes the reader on a global tour of such places, examining the legends and the phenomena that have gained them the reputation for being "haunted." These are all places that are accessible to the public - all to visit, some to stay in. You will learn what haunts them, where it haunts them, and - if known - why it haunts them. Some even come with a variety of ghosts. Whether you are planning an overseas vacation, or hunkering down in your favourite chair on a dark and stormy night, you are sure to find something in these pages to chill you.
