Haunted Up North

The winds of icy January are upon us, and with them, the ghoulish tradition we at Haunted Up North hold unofficially dear: International Ghost Story Telling Month! What better way to raise your goosebumps than with an unnerving reading of 'The Authentic Narrative of the Ghost of a Hand' - one of Irish supernatural master, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's most terrifying tales. This gothic gem, plucked from the depths of Le Fanu's macabre imagination, is not for the faint of heart. It's a bone-chilling plunge into the realm of the unseen, where a disembodied hand becomes the harbinger of unspeakable terror.
