The autumn brings darker nights and an encroaching chill. Join us for two talks on haunted moments and macabre encounters.

Tina Vantyler: Delightfully Frightful True Ghost Stories

Journalist Tina Vantyler has been fascinated by the supernatural since she was a (weird!) child. The fact her mother kept her up late watching classic horror films and took Tina on outings to graveyards rather than playgrounds probably has something to do with her obsession.

Tina’s lifelong love of the macabre led her to collect stories from people she met through her work who’d had blood-curdling ghostly encounters. She’s published three books of genuine hauntings in her Real Ghost Stories series: True Tales Of The Supernatural From The UK, True Tales Of The Supernatural From The UK Volume Two and True Tales Of The Supernatural From The UK & Ireland Volume Three.

The terrifying school attack by a ghostly jilted lover
The marrow-freezing expression of affection that shattered a mother and daughter’s peaceful evening.
Plus Tina will share her own paranormal story of how a loft extension awakened the dead and a renowned psychic medium helped her out.
