Die Engländer, so Peter Ackroyd, sehen mehr Geister als alle anderen Nationen. Jede Region hat ihre besonderen Geister, manche riechen nach altem Leder, manche duften nach Thymian, es gibt solche, die schweigen und solche die reden. Manche suchen Rache, andere spuken nur zum Spaß. Vom Mittelalter bis heute werden Geschichten über gesichtete Geister weitergegeben - dies ist eine die Jahrhunderte überspannende, faszinierende wie auch unterhaltsame Sammlung solcher Berichte.
