Description
Jamaica Inn: The History, Hauntings and Folklore is the culmination of over a decade of meticulous research by Karin Beasant and others, brought to life in collaboration with Lisa Holman and enriched by the experiences of the Jamaica Inn Paranormal team.
This compelling volume moves beyond myth to uncover the true story at the heart of the inn, exploring the legacy of Captain John Broad, whose vision helped shape Jamaica Inn into a lasting enterprise for his two sons. Through historical records, personal insights, and careful investigation, the book paints a vivid picture of life on the moor and the enduring mark left by those who built its foundations.
Yet history is only part of the story…
From unexplained footsteps to shadowy figures and chilling encounters, the inn remains a focal point for paranormal intrigue. Combining documented history with eyewitness accounts and investigative findings, this book bridges the gap between fact, folklore, and the unexplained.
Who still walks its corridors? What stories refuse to fade? And why does Jamaica Inn continue to draw those seeking answers?
Perfect for lovers of history, heritage, and the paranormal, this is more than a book; it’s an invitation to step inside the legend.
Discover the truth behind the mystery… if you dare.

Honestly, it was brilliant. I liked how the start showed the history but also had short stories interlaced in it then went back to the history.
Then later on the introduction of the team and their experiences was brilliant as it painted a very good picture of each member and how they work on an individual level but then also how they work with others shown by the following section describing working with the public and private teams.
I have to admit I was fascinated with all of the different types of experiences people had over the years and different parts of the building.
All in all 10 out of 10. I’ve not sat and read a book in about 15 years but as I started the book I just got intrigued and kept reading and reading.
Fantastic book and very much looking forward to our next visit to the Jamaica Inn.
