Old Stones and Dark Waters

A walker shares a pub fire with an old man who has one last story to tell about the weir at Burrs. A genealogist in a forgotten records room at Facit finds that the names of the dead will not stay on the page. And every September, on the shore of Hollingworth Lake, someone reads forty-three names aloud, and a drowned bell rings back.

Ten ghost stories from the moors, mills, rivers and marshes of Lancashire, rooted in real places and real history. You can walk to many of them. Just don't linger by the water after dark.
