The Skipton Haunting: Tale Of The Red Ribbon Witch: (Second Edition)

Based on a true haunting the author himself experienced.In 2016, John Davidson and his family moved to Skipton Road, a quiet cul-de-sac situated within the heart of a northern industrial town, in the hope of improving their lives. However, they had no idea of what evil terrors awaited them. Things appeared normal at first... apart from the pungent smell of rotten flesh in their kitchen, recurring scratch marks along the walls, and an overwhelming sense of always being watched by someone or something. Overtime, through a series of vivid nightmares and intrusive whispers, the Davidsons came to learn of a malignant menace that still dwelled within their new home - a witch named Sabina, who sought out vengeance upon those who had betrayed her in life, and an ancient demon that referred itself as "Baal". Throughout these horrific events, John struggled against his growing depression, his new reliance on alcohol, and the overall strong desire to keep his family from falling apart... which it sadly was. This terrifying period in their lives would forever haunt the Davidsons, as it did with countless other victims before them.In reading this novel you will bear witness to an actual haunting that took place, its lasting effect on those involved, and one that many people can verify. Some, including the author, would argue that Sabina and the ancient demon do exist. It's up to you as the reader to decide.Set in the North East of England. Names of characters and certain places have been changed to protect identities.*** First Edition: Review Highlights (Amazon and Goodreads, UK/US) ***'Really enjoyed this book, looked forward to bedtime to continue reading. I usually fall asleep after a couple of pages, but this kept me intrigued... would recommend, and was spooky enough to have me checking behind for "Sabina" a couple of times!' Barbara Ivey (Amazon, UK).'The Skipton Haunting is a different horror story that mixes elements of folklore with the daily life of a family that moves to a haunted house. It is a different story because is mainly narrated through dialogue. A vibrant, lively dialogue that uses slang terms and dialect. In a metaphorical level, the story has the classical theme of the witch/woman that takes revenge on abusive men, a legend that can be found in the folklore across the world, and in this case, is focused in a concrete area of the UK.' Eva García Fornet (Goodreads/Amazon, US).'An excellent story which had me gripped from start to finish. It had me frightened too, and I speak as one who is not easily frightened.' Pat (Amazon, UK).'Wow, this novel scared me as I got deeper into the plot. Seen through the eyes of the main character, a man with a wife and child who tries to build a better life for them by buying a property which at first seems like a fantastic bargain. As the novel goes on, they discover secrets regarding the property and the evil that still haunts it. The writing is quick, the characters as real as your next door neighbors and the horror is as unnerving as fingernails scraping down a blackboard. I highly recommend this book and look forward to more from this author.' Adele Marie (Goodreads).'Interesting and scary ghost story. The author states it is based upon his family's experience making it even more terrifying.' Frances Hampton (Amazon, US).'A blend of horror, curse, haunting troubling a young family who's moved into a home on, what they learn later, is thought to be a haunted street. I enjoyed the family dynamics and not knowing until the end how that would play out.' Mary (Goodreads).'I thoroughly enjoyed this horror story. I felt at one with the author, especially in the dream sequences.' Jill Stevens (Amazon, UK).'Plenty of mystery. Really good characters and setting.' Sandi (Amazon, US).'The Red Ribbon Witch is truly gripping, exciting, scary, worrying and thrilling all in one emotion.' Sadgey81 (Amazon, UK).
