The Pluckley Psychic Historical Society (The Ghost from the Molly-House Book 3)

Description

The Pluckley Psychic Historical Society is based in Pluckley, Kent, the most haunted village in England. Its founding members are the noted academic, historian, and Cambridge scholar Winston Hatherton, the white witch Florence Dearden, and the celebrated medium Jocasta Bradman. They are assisted by an 18th-century super-ghost called Jasper Claxton, although none of the society members are aware that Jasper is a ghost.

This is the third book in The Ghost from the Molly-House series, and it describes how the Psychic Historical Society was set up and goes back to the group’s first two official cases in 1919, just after the end of the first world war.

The first story, The Jewellery Box involves a 16th-century jewellery box made from precious metals, which is found buried in a garden and reveals a 400-year-old mystery.

The second story, The Book of Souls is set in Huddersfield, England, at a place called Jubilee Tower or Castle Hill, which was built to commemorate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria and is on the site of ancient bronze and iron age settlements dating back 4000 years. An old book of spells is found, and once opened, it appears to have released something ominous.

The Ghost from the Molly-House series is a collection of amusing paranormal-historical-mysteries, which will appeal to fans of antiquity, period detective novels, tales of haunted houses, and all things that go bump in the night. Although this is the third book in the series, the novel can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story in its own right.
