About
the book
This is the latest title from best-selling author
Rupert Matthews. This is a comprehensive look at strange phenomena,
supernatural encounters and folklore in Yorkshire. It presents amazing
and mystical tales that will delight and horrify the reader in equal
measures. Yorkshire is simply stunning. So are its mysteries. Yorkshire
has developed a character all its own. That applies as much to its
mysterious aspect, as it does to its human or natural faces. The
Barguest roams the woods, fields and even the cities of Yorkshire on
its eternal, supernatural patrols. The Church Fenton Tiger hit the
national headlines in the 2006 and led police a merry dance around the
River Ouse. And Yorkshire had more dragons of more fearsome habits than
any other county in England. The identity of Old King Cole is
uncertain, but he was probably a Yorkshireman. King Arthur rode this
way after the Romans left. And if local legend is to be believed he is
here still, sleeping beneath Richmond until his country needs him once
more. Witches, warlocks and wizards have inhabited Yorkshire since time
immemorial. Old Mother Shipton worked wonders in her lifetime and
foretold the future with uncanny accuracy. Others indulged in very real
forms of 'magic' – hypnotism and medicinal herbs – to achieve good
things and gain fame. Wizard Wrightson was a spectacularly successful
magic worker of the 19th century. Giants have also walked in Yorkshire,
as has the Devil himself and numerous lesser demons. Springs and wells
have miraculous powers, and some have their ghosts. And the fairies and
assorted little people dance about on business of their own. There is
an intangible quality about Yorkshire that is uniquely mysterious. It
cannot be touched and it cannot be pinned down. The magical and the
supernatural are never far away….TO LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD SHOW VISIT http://www.paranormalpalace.com/
