In truth I do not know if ghosts exist. If they do, I do not know what they are... is not a very auspicious start to a book grandly entitled 'The Ghosts of Northwood House'. The Historian Nikolaus Pevsner wrote that Northwood House: 'Is a strange house outside and stranger within.' He may be right. At Northwood House over many long and sometimes very cold evenings I have sat as a neutral observer with many 'paranormal research' and 'ghost hunting groups'. They may all hold many different beliefs and ideas, but they search hard, using allt ypes of equipment and techniques, for something or someone outside of our normal realm.So after all this do I believe in Ghosts? In truth I don't know what a ghost is or is supposed to be, so how do you hunt one? Am I an expert? No - just an interested observer who has had some extraordinary evenings and has since been told a lot of tales about this amazing House.All that follows is a whole bunch of ghost stories, tales and observations all mixed up with some history. Many of them are about the people who spend much of their leisure time looking for Ghosts.Have they found any? - A good question.This is a very personal view of some things that could be thought as being para-normal. It also includes some new stories and some old tales. A few of htem are no doubt quiet tall, but a few will also make you look over your shoulder and stare hard at the shadows.I will let you decide what you think is waiting here.
