But with its rich history, ghosts abound from the earliest dates from the Saxon era, but it has found company over the centuries! While up in the former colliery communities in East Durham there are, among the rich lore of spectral sightings, many tales attached to a Geordie King Arthur and his Knights, and the hope that they will one day lead an industrial renaissance. So read on and discover the supernatural goings-on from the North-east.
