Ghosthunter - A Journey Through Haunted France, Édition En Langue Anglaise - Mardsen Simon

. .

Résumé :
Armed with his camera, Sir Simon Marsden has pursued the elusive trace of ghosts for nearly forty years. He has published ten books of his photographs including The Journal of a Ghosthunter : In Search of the Undead from Ireland to Transylvania (Little Brown, 1994) and The Haunted Realm : Echoes from Beyond the Tomb (Little Brown, 1998). His passion for haunted places, which began as a child in the English countryside, has naturally led him to France, into the châteaux, cemeteries, abandoned ruins, and forests around which famous ghost stories have circulated for centuries. From Saint- Germain- en-Laye's history shrouded in black magic to Saint- Bonnet -le-Château's mysterious cadavers and from Chenonceau's feuding women to the Gisor Fortress with its hidden Templar treasure, the author takes us on a riveting ghost hunt across France. Illustrated with supernaturally beautiful photographs, this travel journal unveils France's darkest secrets and most terrifying legends.
