Book Description
With settlements dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze ages, Chelmsford has a vast history to look back upon. Over the years the town has seen Roman occupation, the execution of the ringleaders of the peasant's revolt and the Essex witch trials.

Join author, broadcaster and paranormal investigator Jason Day as he introduces you to the ghost of an angry nun, a phantom theatre guide and a spectral cyclist. Encounter the 'Box Monster', the spirits of those women falsely accused of witchcraft and the mysterious vanishing cloaked figure that dons a top hat...
