Description
Halifax and its surroundings have long been associated with a wild reputation, with the infamous 'Beggars' Litany' warning of a grim fate. But was this fear rooted in the Halifax Gibbet, England's last guillotine, or were there other, more sinister forces at play?
The region is said to be home to a range of paranormal entities, from historical boggarts to modern poltergeists. This book explores the manifestations and territory of these unquiet spirits, set against the colourful history and wider folkloric context of the area.
