  Paranormal History & Investigations: These books combine in-depth historical research with ghost stories, myths, and legends, investigating the history behind locations, people, and buildings from a paranormal perspective.

  Allen Tiller's work is characterised by a "factual insight" into the supernatural, often featuring photographs, historical documentation, historic referencing via archives, newspapers and databases, and interviews to support the stories, rather than relying solely on psychic or unverified accounts.
