Paranormal Somerset by Sonia Smith

Everyone loves a good ghost story, as a kid it’s what got me interested in the paranormal and it’s what will hopefully get the next generation interested in finding out more. Most ghost books review accounts and experiences but this one takes a story and gives it a fictional twist with characters so that you become involved in the story and identify with the events surrounding them.

The Chequers, Amersham

During the sixteenth several martyrs were burned in Amersham on charges of heresy and the strong conviction of their beliefs. The Chequers at 51 London Road, which dates from the 15th century had a possible involvement with these sad deaths and it is speculated that the long reputed haunting of the inn may be related to them.

Old Nunnery, Pomona

The Old Nunnery at 5 Church Church, Pomona was an historic building and part of the towns heritage trail.

Mark Fuller wrote two articles on 29th September 2007 for the Sunshine Coast looking at the fire and the haunting.
