ABOUT THE AUTHOR
A qualified archaeologist, BRIAN HAUGHTON is an author and researcher on the subjects of prehistoric megalithic sites, ancient sacred places, and supernatural folklore.
Haughton’s first book, Hidden History: Lost Civilizations, Secret Knowledge, and Ancient Mysteries, was published in January 2007 and has been translated into 11 languages, including German, Russian, Greek, and Thai. This was followed by Haunted Spaces, Sacred Places; The Lore of the Ghost; and History’s Mysteries. This title will be his fifth book with New Page Books.
Brian’s work has been featured in various print publications across the world, including Doorways Magazine, Awareness, and All Destiny, and on Websites such as the BBC’s Legacies, World Mysteries, and the Book of Thoth. He is a member of the Folklore Society (England) and serves as a consultant for the UK-based research and investigative organization Parasearch. He long ago fell for the lure of the ancient world and tales of the supernatural, initially inspired by visiting the Neolithic chambered tombs of the Cotswold Hills in England and by reading the ghost stories of Sheridan Le Fanu and M.R. James.
In his spare time Brian plays synthesizer in the band the Star Fields.
