Product Description From the very beginning of recorded time all the great civilizations of our world have believed in the supernatural in some form or other. Simon Marsden's startlingly atmospheric black and white infrared photographs reveal this hidden world and his ghostly and beguiling images transport the reader to a different realm; a haunted realm. In The Haunted Realm 2009 wall calendar, each photograph is accompanied by accounts of the apparitions that have been reported at each site, and the strange and often macabre real-life events which are said to lie behind them. Simon Marsden is an internationally acclaimed photographer whose work can be found in the J. Paul Getty Museum in California and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. His books include This Spectred Isle, The Haunted Realm, Journal of a Ghosthunter and Twilight Hour.

An Enchanting and Ghostly Way to Pass Twelve MonthsJanuary 28, 2007 The Haunted Realm 2007 Calendar highlights the mysterious and other-worldly photography of Simon Marsden. His black-and-white photos capture scenes that are mysterious, somber and thought-provoking. Gothic architecture, gravestones, bare trees and gnarled branches, ominous skies, and foliage made un-earthlike by the use of infrared photography are the major elements that comprise his striking images. Additionally, each month provides a short explanation of what makes the photographed site "haunted". The calendar grid, itself, offers a clean layout and is easy to read, making the calendar as practical as it is beautiful. Highly recommended.

this is one of the most beautifully photographed books on the the subjects of haunted places.The British locales shown in black and white,as well as the stories documenting the haunted places make this a great book for your collection as well as a coffeetable book.This is 120+ pages of delight be it in portrayal of haunted England or the beauty of the English countryside and stately manors.
An absolute classic for lovers of the supernatural...December 8, 2000 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I first came across this book in my high school library, about 1990. I fell in love with it.... Anyway, this is a beautiful book that features lots of Simon Marsden's infrared photos of castles, manor houses, spooky natural places, etc., from all over the British Isles and Ireland. A page or two decribing the ghostly phenomena associated with each locale is included as well. I spent nearly three weeks in Scotland seeking out some of the places in this book (and the book that followed, "Phantoms of the Isles"), but sadly, they didn't seem half as creepy in real life as they did in the book. I highly recommend anything by Simon Marsden...Happy hauntings!
The best true collection of ghost stories ever publishedJuly 5, 1999 6 out of 8 found this review helpful
i first picked this book up when i was 10 years old. I'm 16 now and i still can't put it down. This is, without a doubt, the most chilling collection of stories i have ever come across. The contents of this book are psycologically affecting as well imagination provoking. I truly cannot say enough great things about this book. If you havn't read it-PLEASE do yourself a favor, and get ahold of The Haunted Realm.
