Publisher's Summary

When an institution dates back for over a millennium, it feels inevitable that it's bound to have picked up a few ghosts along the way.

From the spectre of Queen Victoria, to Mary Queen of Scots’s picky ghost, and from Henry VIII and the restless phantoms of his many wives, to Oliver Cromwell, who claimed to have conversed with the ghosts of Kings long gone, we are going to be exploring the haunted history of the Royal Family.

We'll also be looking at a few other strange stories, including the story of a feral child, the story of lizards in the palace, the story of UFO investigations, and the story of the alleged lycanthropic King.

There will also be stories of paranormal encounters from various Royal Residences around the country, as well as a Punk Rock conspiracy and the tragic tale of a forgotten woman in the life of Henry VIII.

What better time, than during a Coronation year, to take a look at the spookier side of the Royal Family?

Featuring the following stories, along with many more, from across the history of the monarchy:

  • Abdication, Americans, & The Ghost of Queen Victoria
  • The King, The Car Park, & The Murders in the Tower
  • The Sports Reporter, The Queen, & The Lizard People
  • The King & The Foundling
  • The Ghostmaker King
  • The Queen & The Punk Rock Conspiracy

Your host for the evening is Adrian Finney. He’s the man behind the successful Strange Sheffield Ghost Walks and the author of Strange Britain book series.
