The Official Site of the film documentary (2000) and it&#8217;s companion &#8216;Haunted Harborough &#8211; The Book&#8217; (Oct. 2012) Unfortunately, the book is now out-of-print. The DVD is still available directly from myself or online at eBay. The success of my documentary has put Market Harborough on the map regarding it&#8217;s concentration of ghost stories. It was screened at the Phoenix Arts Cinema in Leicester as part of their documentary season as well as being sold in High Street stores and online. It also inspired the town&#8217;s Ghost Walk, having given the organisers permission to use my source material. My book covers those tales featured in the documentary but expands on these eye-witness tales, contains other stories and also a special feature on the fascinating Papillon Hall. Please browse this site and check back to view added content. In the meantime, have a look at the gallery of a few haunted premises below. If you have any stories or queries regarding anything supernatural in the Harborough area, please go my contact page. Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\t<ul id=\"slideshowgallery1285\" class=\"slideshowgallery1285\" style=\"display:none;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- From all slides or gallery slides -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"opacity:70;\">The Angel Hotel<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span data-alt=\"the-angel-hotel\">http:\/\/www.hauntedharborough.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/slideshow-gallery\/Angel-Hotel.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"opacity:70;\">The Manor House<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span data-alt=\"the-manor-house\">http:\/\/www.hauntedharborough.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/slideshow-gallery\/The-Manor-House.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"opacity:70;\">Market Harborough Building Society<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span data-alt=\"market-harborough-building-society\">http:\/\/www.hauntedharborough.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/slideshow-gallery\/Building-Society.jpg<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"opacity:70;\">Adam &amp;
