England is renowned as the most haunted country in the world. Its ancient castles, abbeys, and historic houses are home to countless tales of murder, torture, and betrayal, and often these legends live on in the ghosts that are said to possess these buildings. In "Haunted Heritage," John Mason has photographed 60 ancient properties using infra-red film, capturing their foreboding sense of mystery and menace. From Scarborough Castle, where the headless apparition of Piers Gaveston is said to lure people over the battlements to their deaths, to Okehampton Castle, where the phantom Lady Howard rides nightly in a gruesome coach fashioned from the bones of her four husbands, "Haunted Heritage "is a spine-tingling excursion through England's unearthly ruins.
