About the author
Kai Roberts is the author of Haunted Huddersfield (History Press, 2012) and Haunted Halifax & District (History Press, 2014), both part of the publisher's regional series collecting reported ghost stories and supernatural folklore tied to specific English towns. Haunted Halifax & District draws on the area's grim historical reputation, including its history of public execution by the Halifax Gibbet, to frame its collection of apparitions and other reported phenomena, while Haunted Huddersfield gathers first-hand accounts and long-circulated local legends from the West Yorkshire area. Both books combine local history with a survey of ghost lore rather than personal investigation or paranormal argument, aimed at readers interested in regional English folklore and the history behind well-known haunted-location stories.
