CONTENTS

EDITORIAL

In 1977 I read a book, not just any book, but a
book about ghosts, haunted house and strange
happenings AND it never left me, the impact it
had on me, the paranormal tattoo it left on my
brain is here for all to see today. My love for the
paranormal is not cos I want to prove that ghosts
are real, nor do I want to prove that ghosts aren’t
real. Anyone who knows me knows how I see and
view the paranormal, whilst I respect it, I also
write about it, I take the mickey out it, make fun
of it, tell jokes about and offer a curio type of non-
expert opinion of it. I always say that I visit places
that may or may not be haunted using gadgets that
may or may not work and try to make contact with
ghosts that may or may not exist. That sums up
the paranormal it to me, it’s fun, it’s exciting, it’s
a lifestyle of choice and it’s one that should be
enjoyed as much as possible.

Now that book is back and we couldn’t let its
republishing, its reprinting pass without paying
homage to it, the book that inspired a generation
of paranormal lovers and deinitely one of those
books that inspired me all those years ago, so
much so that when I created Haunted Magazine,
that book was never far away from my mind. Enjoy
this issue, it’s nostalgic, it’s spooky, it’s funny, it’s
nasty and it’s full of paranormal pleasure.
