Malcolm Gaskill, author of The Ruin Of All WitchesFascinating and illuminating Peter AckroydBrilliantly delicate, pointed, shivery... You could read it as a guide to which galleries to avoid or to where the push for repatriation should be most urgent. Erin L.

Spinetingling Lindsey Fitzharris, New York Times bestselling author of The FacemakerWhat if the British Museum isnt a carefully ordered cross section of history but is in instead a palatial trophy cabinet of colonial loot swarming with volatile and errant spirits?When artist and writer Noah Angell first heard murmurs of ghostly sightings at the British Museum he had to find out more. What started as a trickle soon became a deluge as staff old and new from overnight security to respected curators brought him testimonies of their supernatural encounters.It became clear that the source of the disturbances was related to the Museums contents unquiet objects, holy plunder, and restless human remains protesting their enforced stay within the colonial collections cabinets and deep underground vaults. According to those who have worked there, the institution is heaving with profound spectral disorder.Ghosts of the British Museum fuses storytelling, folklore and history, digs deep into our imperial past and unmasks the worlds oldest national museum as a site of ongoing conflict, where restless objects are held against their will.
