Review by Pam Norfolk
They pride themselves on being an ‘ordinary’ lot in Lancashire but that doesn’t mean they don’t have the odd skeleton – and maybe even a ghost or two – rattling around in their history. In fact, they’re more likely to be ‘boggarts,’ ‘dobbies,’ and ‘barguests’ to those who have dabbled in the folklore of a county steeped in witchcraft and paranormal mysteries.
Preston author Joseph Delaney has found rich pickings in Lancashire’s ghostly heritage in his best-selling children’s book series The Wardstone Chronicles which feature master Spook John Gregory battling supernatural forces in the county’s rural landscape.
And now author Daniel Codd has roamed the same highways, byways and ghoulish graveyards to dig up some of the most hair-raising tales in his entertaining new book, Paranormal Lancashire.
