Followers of the blogs on my website www.aaprideaux.com and readers of my books such as A Ghost Story, A Christmas Story and The Bishop and The Witch, will know that I have already written much about my branch of the Prideaux clan. I possess detailed information of each ancestor Prideaux, either already made public or still in my own records. These people all lived and died in the towns, villages and properties I describe. They experienced the events I write about. I have walked the same roads and visited the same properties these Prideauxs used to. The spooky connection is a mixture of oral tradition and artistic licence. This series of Prideaux short stories here, already published and the subsequent several (I have 28 stories to tell) all feature the Prideaux experience and interaction with horror and the paranormal. Prideaux Ghost Stories features John, the son of John in A Ghost Story, his son Thomas and his son Thomas. The Dartmoor Witch - John Prideaux. John and Agnes meet a witch on Dartmoor and seal their eternal fate. They encounter the hooded man and other ghosts who follow the family throughout their lives. Stowford Demons - Thomas Prideaux. Thomas and his family not only suffer through the Puritan uprising and bigotry but encounter the hooded man as the county veers towards Civil War. The Ermington Curse - Thomas Prideaux. Thomas has experienced severe stress and become irrecoverably damaged following his father's death, the Civil War and the family's loss of fortune. The ghosts of dead soldiers and the mysterious hooded man all conspire to cast a dark shadow over his life.
