I downloaded the 1982 TV version of Ghost in the Water, from YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYUlr1mIC40" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Has anyone read any of Edward Chitham's other Books.

Ah yes - I've got that exact edition of Ghost in the Water. I read it when I was 12 or 13 but haven't read it again since. I also remember the TV programme. Thanks for the YouTube link, Billy - I may well watch it again sometime (and re-read the book). I loved chilling tales like that when I was a child but I don't know whether Edward Chitham wrote anything else along the same lines.

What's the basic story/blurb - without giving too much away, I mean?

All I remember is a girl and boy finding out about the past and getting caught up in tragic events. There's something about a young girl, a sampler, a graveyard and a river or canal.

Certainly sounds interesting! Thanks Anita!

This book is set in and around my home town (Rowley Regis) and the author was a teacher at my school (though a few years before my time). He hasn't written any more fiction, but he's written a few local history books.

Lizarfau, thank you for the above info.

Interesting to know that, Liz.

I looked up Edward Chitham, on Amazon, and discovered that, he has written Books about the Bronte sisters.

I will read Ghost in the Water, sometime.

I had no idea this was a book! I just assumed it was written for television. I'd have only been about nine, but I remember it was absolutely terrifying!

I started reading Ghost in the Water, this afternoon, I enjoyed reading the first two chapters of the Book, thanks to the 1982 BBC TV version of Ghost in the Water, I have got images of Teresa and David, in my mind, and also an image of the Churchyard, already the Book, has got a good sense of atmosphere, and I am sure I will enjoy reading the rest of the Book.

A very interesting article about Ghost in the Water.

Very interesting, Billy!

Reminds me a little of the canal tunnel just along the canal from my house - which inspired some of my Famous Five story! (quiet plug, lol!)

An interesting article, Billy. Thanks for putting it up.

Nice photo, Rob!

Very nice photo, Rob, I have always liked Canals.

I enjoyed reading chapters 3 and 4 of Ghost in the Water, this afternoon, I like the way, that you see the story, through Teresa's eyes.
