Towpath Whispers: Free Ghost Stories from the Waterways
Three chilling tales from the misty heart of the English canals
There are places along the towpath where the fog doesn’t lift.
Where the water runs too deep and the air feels… still.
Where time softens, sound carries strangely, and footsteps echo long after they’ve stopped.
These are the places where Towpath Whispers finds its voice.
In this free volume—Towpath Whispers —you’ll discover three brand new ghost stories, told in hushed tones and candlelight, from the shadowy mind of canal folklorist Jasper Wildwood.
👻 For Lovers of Quiet Horror and Waterborne Mystery
- The lonely reaches of Larkspur Cut, where ghostly lanterns drift along the water without a soul in sight…
- A forgotten mooring near Marshbridge, where phantom footsteps pace below the surface in the dead of night…
- The bramble-choked edge of Lock 17, where a weathered chair dares you to sit—and may not let you go.
Whether you’re moored on a still stretch of canal or reading from the warmth of your home, these stories are designed to unsettle—slowly, gently, like a ripple in the water you didn’t notice until it passed.
