Synopsis

The author of Hidden History explores the archaeology, legends and strange sightings at 32 ancient sites around the world--from Stonehenge to Angkor Wat.

In Haunted Spaces, Sacred Places, historian Brian Haughton takes readers on a revealing tour of ancient landmarks that are rich in mystery and unexplained phenomena. Organized by region, this book takes readers from the mysterious megaliths of Britain and Ireland to the haunted tombs of the Etruscans, the Pagan origins of Germany's Aachen Cathedral, the ancient Native American city of Cahokia, the enigmatic Cambodian Temple of Angkor Wat, and the sacred Aboriginal rock formation of Uluru.

In Haunted Spaces, Sacred Places you will discover:
  • The history of ancient sites such as Stonehenge, Chartres Cathedral, Delphi, Cuzco, and the Ohio Serpent Mound.
  • The relationship between ancient Native American sites and unexpected phenomena in Colorado's San Luis Valley.
  • The truth behind the legends of the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in China, home of the Terracotta Warriors.
  • The prevalence of modern encounters with ghosts, UFOs, spook lights, Bigfoot, and phantom dogs at ancient sacred places.

With more than 25 photographs and illustrations, this is the ideal reference work for those interested in the connections between ancient places, folklore, and unexplained phenomena.
