About

the book

This is the latest title from best-selling author

Rupert Matthews. This is a comprehensive look at strange phenomena,

supernatural encounters and folklore in Yorkshire. It presents amazing

and mystical tales that will delight and horrify the reader in equal

measures. Yorkshire is simply stunning. So are its mysteries. Yorkshire

has developed a character all its own. That applies as much to its

mysterious aspect, as it does to its human or natural faces. The

Barguest roams the woods, fields and even the cities of Yorkshire on

its eternal, supernatural patrols. The Church Fenton Tiger hit the

national headlines in the 2006 and led police a merry dance around the

River Ouse. And Yorkshire had more dragons of more fearsome habits than

any other county in England. The identity of Old King Cole is

uncertain, but he was probably a Yorkshireman. King Arthur rode this

way after the Romans left. And if local legend is to be believed he is

here still, sleeping beneath Richmond until his country needs him once

more. Witches, warlocks and wizards have inhabited Yorkshire since time

immemorial. Old Mother Shipton worked wonders in her lifetime and

foretold the future with uncanny accuracy. Others indulged in very real

forms of ‘magic’ – hypnotism and medicinal herbs – to achieve good

things and gain fame. Wizard Wrightson was a spectacularly successful

magic worker of the 19th century. Giants have also walked in Yorkshire,

as has the Devil himself and numerous lesser demons. Springs and wells

have miraculous powers, and some have their ghosts. And the fairies and

assorted little people dance about on business of their own. There is

an intangible quality about Yorkshire that is uniquely mysterious. It

cannot be touched and it cannot be pinned down. The magical and the

supernatural are never far away….TO LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD SHOW VISIT http://www.paranormalpalace.com/
