    About this ebook

    For 60 years Andrew Green was one of Britain's most active and best-known ghost-hunters. The Daily Telegraph famously christened him “the Specter Inspector.” He investigated hundreds of reported hauntings during his career, from famous cases such as “the poltergeist girl of Battersea” to cases where a client had simply taken the wrong medication before bed. His interest in the supernatural began on a summer's day in 1944. As he explored the roof of a haunted house, a compulsion suddenly gripped him— “Walk over the edge.” Only his father's intervention saved him; he later discovered that several other visitors had not been as fortunate. This experience resulted in a life-long fascination with the paranormal, and the most important cases from his lifetime of research are collected together in this volume alongside new research and many reports that have never previously been published. This is an essential guide to the career of Britain's most famous ghost-hunter.

      CHICKSANDS PRIORY

      A walled-up nun and other free spirits

      To see this fine and ancient building on a bright summer’s morning, it is hard to imagine the blood-stained goings-on that have taken place within its walls and the ghosts that have walked its corridors.

      The history of Chicksands Priory goes back a long way. The priory was founded by Payne de Beauchamp and his wife, the Countess Rohese, between 1147 and 1153. The countess’s first husband was Geoffrey de Maudeville, first Earl of Essex and founder of Walden Abbey.

      After Geoffrey’s death in 1144 and his widow’s remarriage, she turned her attention to Cudessand, the original name for the area in the eleventh century. The priory was well endowed, being the third largest religious house of the Gilbertine order in England. It was one of the nine two-cloistered establishments that accommodated canons, nuns, lay brothers and lay sisters. At one time, it may well have housed over 200
