The Haunting of Alma Fielding: A True Ghost Story
by Kate Summerscale
***Shortlisted for the 2020 Baillie Gifford Prize for Nonfiction***
This is the story of Alma Fielding, a woman who in the 1930s said her house had been taken over by a poltergeist—and the Hungarian ghosthunter, Nandor Fodor, who tried to understand what it all meant. A gripping read.
