Bol Some people assume Cornwall is just another English county, they'll think of the its beautiful Mediterranean-like sandy beaches; the quaint seaside fishing villages; sun-bronzed surfers; TV shows set in the county, like Wycliffe, Poldark, and Doc Martin, and will know about our delicious Cornish cream teas, too! However, leaving aside for now the rather contentious idea that Cornwall is 'English, ' there's a lesser known, more mysterious, eldritch side to Cornwall, of which they may not yet be aware. Cornwall has an abundance of weird tales to share, there are many strange stories about UFOs; ghosts; mermaids; knockers; piskies; spriggans; owl-men; sea-monsters; buccas; black moorland hounds; phantom trains, phantom planes, phantom cars, phantom ships, and, yes, even phantom bicycles! I hope you will enjoy exploring these odd stories that I've collected from my witnesses, the old folklore, and even a few of my own personal weird experiences, with me going on ahead as your guide, holding aloft an old Cornish miner's safety lamp to light up our way across those misty Cornish moors and cliff tops. >In this first volume, we'll be in the eastern half of Cornwall, visiting some fascinating locations, including a top-secret government spy-base on a remote North Cornish cliff-top, an abandoned, haunted military airfield up on bleak Bodmin Moor, and various haunted pubs, cafes, and churches too. I will be discussing vibrant Cornish characters, people like the Stratton giant, Antony Payne; the eccentric parson, Robert Stephen Hawker; and even Daphne Du Maurier, the acclaimed novelist who based several of her best-known stories on Cornish places and characters. Over these two volumes of 'The Spirit of Cornwall: A Haunted Legacy' (vol 2 is available on Amazon too), you'll read about how the British military has pursued UFOs in Cornish air space, and of the latest, cutting-edge, technical developments in paranormal research, too. I discuss how modern quantum-science relates to the supernatural, and muse on the true nature of reality and consciousness. There will be poltergeist activity, strange orb lights, and tales of a legendary sunken land off the far western Cornish coast too. I'll be discussing the customs and superstitions of the old Cornish tin miners, and show you how Cornish folklore customs 'emigrated' to the U.S. alongside those Cornish miners. If you are fascinated by the supernatural, and you love Cornwall, then frankly it's a no-brainer, you need to purchase this book! Wide-ranging and ambitious in their scope, these two volumes are not just another mish-mash of unrelated ghost and UFO stories thrown together in a hurry, these are deep, thoughtful books, and they're based on a lifetime's research and love of the strange. Dive in deep then, like a Cornish merry maid, into 'The Spirit of Cornwall: A Haunted Legacy.' I hope you enjoy reading these books as much as I enjoyed doing the research. Mark
