"Is there anybody out there?" However rational we think we are, few of us are completely immune to the idea of ghosts.
Growing up in a haunted house, Roger Clarke spent much of his childhood trying to see a ghost. From the terrifying true events behind Henry James's "The Turn of the Screw" and the frenzy of Cock Lane poltergeist to ghoul-hunting flash-mobs and sexually-charged Victorian séances, he takes us on a journey of belief with ghosts of every kind.
