The Haunting Of Alma Fielding: A True Ghost Story by Kate Summerscale review – Stranger than fiction

Glass and china are splintering in mid-flight before smashing to the floor, objects float down the stairs behind her, lumps of coal levitate from the grate… it is a house under siege – from itself.
