Haunted
Swindon
Dave Wood and Nicky Sewell
Haunted Swindon successfully documents alleged
paranormal activity within the borough of Swindon.
The book is a blend of local history, haunting tales,
real life ghost experiences and current paranormal
research. The aim of the text is to piece together
Swindon’s haunted heritage. As well as containing
many individual case studies, this book also includes
ten reports from research investigations which the
group has conducted. Employing cutting-edge techniques
and a robust scientific methodology, the team attempts
to identify the causes of reported anomalous experiences.
Readers will be treated to in depth accounts of fleeting
apparitions at the Jolly Tar pub in Hannington, the
mischievous goings-on at Sally’s Café
in Highworth, a plethora of unexplained noises at
Swindon’s Wyvern Theatre, the sounds of footsteps
echoing through the Central Fire Station, the sense
of presence that spooked social workers at Olive House,
the reported return of deceased regulars at the Pinehurst
Community Centre, the apparent moving of objects at
Stanton Park Farmhouse, time slips and Fortean phenomena
at a private woodland near Blunsdon and more!
The book also gives a glimpse of dozens of haunting
reports ranging from private houses, cinemas and pubs
to Lydiard House, the steam museum and the arts centre.
Haunted Swindon is a ghost book with a twist
– it is written by real-life paranormal investigators
and contains up-to-the minute psychological research
and educated critical analysis. Haunted Swindon
is a break from the traditional embellished ghost
story, bringing the real world of hauntings to life.
