There are violent events and murders in the history of every country and Ireland is no exception. Through the years, it has had its share of violent murders including the murder of its most famous victim, Ellie Hanley or the 'Colleen Bawn', and the more recent murder of Tom Nevin, victim of a 'hit' organized by his wife. Irish Murders presents a series of murders which have occurred in Ireland in the years from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century acts of insanity, malevolence, hatred, revenge, desperation, greed and passion, when for someone, somewhere, taking the life of another has seemed the only solution.

Scotland's folklore is rich and varied, with stories passed from generation to generation. This vibrant story-telling tradition is captured in Scottish Ghosts with tales of spectres of past and present from all over Scotland, sometimes in the most unlikely of settings. Fairies, white ladies, tortured souls, poltergeists, malevolent phantoms, hideous creatures--Scotland has them all, ready for those who are willing to hear them, see them or sense their presence. There are tales of sightings that convinced the most sceptical of unbelievers. Whether they are the products of over-fertile imaginations, the desire to keep the memory of a colorful character alive, the simple wish to spin a good yarn by the fireside or whether they are actual sightings is left for you to decide.

A book on Scottish ghosts, superstitions and folklore. It introduces you to some of Scotland's best ghosts.
