Marina Kemp interviews Roger Clarke, author of A Natural History of Ghosts, just in time for Halloween.

About the book:

'Is there anybody out there?' No matter how rationally we order our lives, few of us are completely immune to the suggestion of the uncanny and the fear of the dark. The subject of whether ghosts exist has fascinated some of the finest minds in history and it remains a subject of overwhelming (if slightly embarrassed) interest today.  

This is the first comprehensive, authoritative and readable history of the evolution of the ghost in the west, examining as every good natural history should, the behaviour of the subject in its preferred environment. What did the haunted see? What did they believe?  What happened next? Taking us through the famous hauntings that have obsessed the world from the poltergeist of Cock Lane and the dark events of Borley Rectory right up to the present day, Roger Clarke unfolds a colourful story of charlatans and true believers. His surprising castlist ranges from Samuel Johnson to John Wesley, and from Harry Houdini to Adolf Hitler, his chapters cover everything from the technology of ghost-hunting to the emergence of the Victorian ghost flash mob. Inspired by a childhood spent in two haunted houses, surrounded by people who believed in spirits, Roger Clarke has spent much of his life trying to see a ghost.  Written as grippingly as the best ghost fiction, A Natural History of Ghosts takes us on a unforgettable hunt through the most haunted houses of the last four hundred years.
