In the 1970s, Bashir Kouchacji survived being kidnapped and tortured in Beirut after his captors accused him of being a CIA agent. Years later, after rebuilding his life in America, the phone began to ring. At first there was only silence, then laughter, then a childlike voice that seemed to know where he was, who he knew, and how afraid he had become.

Across Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany and beyond, people have long told stories of ghostly hearses, black coaches and funeral processions seen before a death has happened. Sometimes the sound of wheels is heard on an empty road, sometimes mourners pass silently along an old church path, and sometimes a hearse appears in a mirror before vanishing without trace.

In Derbyshire’s Goyt Valley, the ruins of Errwood Hall stand above a reservoir, a hidden shrine, and a private family burial ground. Once the centre of the Grimshawe family estate, the hall was demolished in the 1930s, leaving only fragments behind. But one visitor later claimed to have seen something near the ruins that did not belong to the present day.
