Few of us will ever experience the paranormal in our own home. Where a place of sanctuary becomes strange and we fear for our own sanity. G L Davies takes us on a journey through the unknown with extraordinary clarity and humility. Haunted: Horror of Haverfordwest will appeal to those interested in the paranormal, as well as those who want to know more about how such experiences can help us grow as a person. Life is for the living, not the dead.
I had the pleasure of interviewing G. L Davies on my Radio Show many years ago discussing his first book and my listeners and I were left in awe, but I must say that his current book Haunted: Horror of Haverfordwest also did not disappoint. It gave me chills as read it and I was unable to put it down as I was led on a journey through this very twisted Paranormal tale. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the Paranormal and this book will definitely be put on my shows "MUST READ"List.

4.5 stars. This was so enjoyable from beginning to end. I loved the way the story was told, in interview type telling. I was hooked the whole way through and this is how stories should be. But did I believe what was told, as this is apparently a work of non-fiction and all? So if you go into this with an open mind, you will probably enjoy it as I did.. If you are a believer, then I ask you, why are you not actually reading this right now as it is a really good book? So if you haven't guessed yet, I do definitely highly recommend this.

I have just finished reading this book. I still have chills up my spine. I liked the way the story was set out and really got a sense of the terror experienced by Dai and Anne. Whether you are a believer in the paranormal or not, this book is well worth a read.

Another creepy and scary book to read from GL Davies. This time it follows the story of another couple who lived in The House years before, the things they suffered and how it affected them. The tales are horrific and awful and I couldn't imagine ever living through what they did. Having lived in Haverfordwest for 18 years of my life, I'm really grateful it wasn't in this house....and I'm grateful I didn't know it existed. This is a fantastic read if you want to read a horror that's real life....if you're brave enough to!
A creepy ghost story just right for this time of year as the nights draw in. Atmospheric and draws you into the story and the characters.

I could not put this book down. I found the story to be creepy, scary and at times terrifying.
Very creepy retell of what happened in a haunted house when a married couple lived in it for a short period of time in the late 80's -early 90's. I am a skeptic, but that does not mean that I could not suspend belief a few times while reading about the horrifying things that happened in that house.. I recommend you read the author's own experience of the house as well.

This book is well written and has a good flow. It is very atmospheric, I found myself cringing, holding myself tense and grinding my teeth at some points as the story unfolds. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends but would suggest that it is probably best read with someone else in the house and during daylight, not in the dark during a storm as I did. Really spooked me.
G.L. Davies masterfully brings the terror of living in a real haunted house to life again as he returns to the Horror of Haverfordwest!

Wow! What a truly fascinating read. I am one of those people who really sits on the fence when it comes to all things supernatural. So many people I know say they have experienced something odd or ghostly and I find it all a bit creepy... I also love a good ghost story, especially around Autumn with the cold nights drawing in and this read fitted the bill. It was more in the style of an interview with 2 people, unfortunate enough to live at this house in Haverfordwest from 1989 to 1991. The awful goings on almost ruined their marriage and ultimately their lives. I also liked that the book explored that some goings on, including feeling cold spots and hearing crying, could be rationally explained. It really made me think and by the end, I realised that we will never really know what the explanation is for the things these poor people experienced and we probably never will. I would love to read a third account of what happened in this house so if anyone thinks they have lived there at any point in time then get in touch with the author. 5/5 stars!
G L. Davies has done it again! Having experienced his previous work I can only say that “Haunted: Horror of Haverfordwest” is the natural progression to the level of master in development of suspense & the building of shock & disbelief, all leading to the realization that these horrific paranormal experiences truly DO exist!

Haunted: Horror of Haverfordwest kept my unswerving attention from the first page to the last. I looked forward to reading it each day and night; I shared my findings with whoever would listen until at times they complained of goosebumps. When I originally found the title, through sheer luck, by looking up what I might find in the horror category, I did not realize this work is nonfiction. Honestly, that made the reading far more gripping for me. I find G.L. Davies to be a highly intelligent person/researcher and writer, and I can empathize with his doubting whether he has not been cursed by this dark house.

At Black Lotus, we pride ourselves in the exhaustive research we put into each of our episodes. Too often, people will not do the necessary legwork and research that is inherently required when investigating the paranormal. They simply parrot what others are saying and offer nothing new. This is why it was such a pleasure to discover G. L. Davies’ Haunted: Horror of Haverfordwest. Written as an interview with the previous tenants of the house in which Davies once resided, it is not your typical haunted house story. While maintaining the integrity required of such research, Davies also writes with a human compassion that is rarely found among other paranormal explorers. Amazing work! We loved it!!

Crikey what a book! I loved it and couldn't put it down. It's fascinating, compelling, scary, I can't describe it any better. A must read.

G.L. Davies is up to his old tricks again in his latest book Haunted: Horror of Haverfordwest. His nasty detailed and unimaginable horror scenarios will give some readers nightmares. I interviewed G. L Davies on my YouTube Show before and thoroughly enjoyed his previous work.

I found this book genuinely creepy. I would love to know if anyone ever found more information about the spirits in this house and their origin. I thought the authors attempt at the end to provide a variety of potential reasons for the experiences other that a supernatural origin really interesting and refreshing that alternative conclusions were explored.
But is it true? That is the one thought that permeates all others both before commencing, during and on completion of this absorbing, deeply unsettling but at the same time thoroughly entertaining account of strange otherworldly goings on in a seemingly fairly nondescript Victorian terraced house in the South Wales town of Haverfordwest.
A paralogian to the paranormal is like a theologian to theology. A paralogian should have a good understanding of paranormal history, theory, & application. It is clearly evident that G L Davies not only has a real solid understanding of the different kinds of paranormal activity & phenomena people may experience, but he also understands the impact in which that said phenomena can have on an individual's psychological well being as well as the parasociological implications for the surrounding family unit. G L Davies is a true paralogian through & through. Haunted: Horror of Haverfordwest is a testament to that statement & a real pleasure to digest. I enjoyed this immensely.
This terrified me, I couldn’t put it down.
If you are a paranormal investigator and have not read this book then you are not a real Paranormal Investigator. Raw, real, detailed, gritty and utterly frightening. As it includes the first book, A most haunted house, then this is the UK's most detailed and prolific modern haunting investigating over twenty years worth of evidence. There are incidents and events that still linger long after reading, things difficult to make sense of, disturbing things that will leave you with you one thought, I hope this never happens to me! The best paranormal book out there, Read it, just not before bed.
Haunted: Horror of Haverfordwest by author G.L Davies is a spooky, intense read! A perfect book. Full of creepy non-fiction accounts of a couples dream house gone nightmare. Told in an interview dialogue, the book reads fast-paced and fun!

This is a Terrifying read, a book that will haunt you long after you have read it. Its builds masterfully, drawing you closer and closer and then the terror hits you. This is a modern paranormal masterpiece, complete with the original A most haunted house and a must-read section on explanations, this is possibly the most important paranormal account of the 21st Century. This is a haunting people will be talking about in a hundred years time and all the while they will say, I hope it didn't happen in our house. G L Davies is finally back and he has grown as a writer and investigator, this is shocking and chilling brilliance.

G.L. Davies takes us into the real-life terror of a malevolent haunting in the pages of Haunted: Horror of Haverfordwest. If you have the intestinal fortitude to venture forward, your bravery will be rewarded with a great, if frightening read. I'd say go for it and pick up your copy today!

This chilling read will certainly start to worry the reader and will certainly have them looking behind them at some stage. This is a must read for those looking for explanations. As Demonologist on the TV show Most Haunted, I understand what the author went through and this book should not only make people more aware of what to them was previously unknown but make them think twice about meddling with it.
Most Haunted – TV Series - Fred Batt
Wow, just wow. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this book will have you on edge from beginning to end. Was it ghosts, demons, or simply bad energy? Maybe it was all of the above that created the Hell House they had once attempted to call home. I give it the 5 stars it deserves.

G.L. Davies once again takes readers on a terrifying journey into madness and the unknown that will grip believers tightly and shake sceptics to their very core.
Schlock Tactics podcast - Ashley Shannon
If you love movies including Amityville Horror, the Conjuring 2, Stranger Things (the series), and Insidious, (or if you are looking for a good scare) then I would definitely recommend this book.
