About the author
Jill Armitage has written regional paranormal histories of Derbyshire, England, published by Amberley Publishing in 2010 and 2011. Paranormal Derbyshire and Haunted Pubs, Inns and Hotels of Derbyshire gather reported ghost sightings and hauntings tied to specific establishments and locations across the county, from country pubs to old coaching inns. Her approach favors on-the-ground local history over broader theorizing about the paranormal, presenting each haunting as attached to a real, named place that readers could visit. The books belong to the regional ghost-story and local-history genre common to British publishers, written for readers with an interest in Derbyshire's history as much as in ghost lore itself. Armitage's two titles form a focused, geographically specific body of work rather than a wide survey of supernatural belief.
