First published in 1971, Gazetteer of British Ghosts was the result of a quarter of a century of study and on-the-spot investigation by one of the leading authorities on haunted houses.The first comprehensive guide to the ghost population of the British Isles, it covers a subject that still fascinates and, at the same time, still terrifies. The ghosts of Britain are numerous, and in this book (catalogued and placed in alphabetical order) are well over two-hundred accounts of ghostly happenings - ranging from the legendary to the factually presented and the scientifically investigated.Included are details not only of such famous haunted houses as Borley and Bettiscombe, Hampton Court and Hinton Ampner, Glamis and Great Bealings, but also lesser known hauntings such as those associated with Woburn, the Gargoyle Theatre in Soho, St. Albans and Bury St. Edmunds. A full bibliography details all the best books dealing with true ghostly experiences, selected from the author's library which is considered to be the most extensive private collection of such books.

This is the second volume of The Roadmap of British Ghosts. Ruth had always made an assumption that there would only be one volume, which would be the definitive map of ghosts that haunt our highways and byways. But those pesky ghosts have different ideas, and keep popping up in new places, or places where people thought the hauntings had faded away. Ruth keeps databases of the encounters she either finds whilst researching, or which people write to her about. When the Road Ghosts database started to fill back up, she realised it was time to produce a Volume 2. She's also learnt to never say never: already more accounts are trickling in about the ghosts on our roads and the database is starting to swell again... Ruth continues with the ethos she has used throughout her six books: these are the encounters real people have in real situations. Nothing is embellished and each story is exactly as it was told. The only change Ruth makes is to people's names as most people choose not to have their name published. Assume therefore that most of the names you read are pseudonyms - but the locations, dates, and accounts are all completely accurate. What makes Ruth's books so unusual and so well loved in this field is her research. Having found or been given one account for a location, she goes out to the public and searches for other people who have encountered anything unusual there. This is a real boon for ghost hunters and other researchers who find her books an incredibly useful reference tool for which hauntings are very active in the paranormal sense. So, as Ruth would say, grab to the book, grab your camera and digital recorder, and get out there to check out these different locations. You never know what you might capture...
