Ebury Spotlight spirits away with 'Most Haunted' host Yvette Fielding's memoir

Ebury Spotlight will publish Scream Queen, the memoir of “Most Haunted” TV-show host Yvette Fielding.  

Senior editorial director Lorna Russell acquired world all-language rights from Kate Walsh at United Agents, with publication scheduled for May.  

“Seances, Ouija boards, table tipping, knocking phenomena – all in a day’s work for the First Lady of the Paranormal,” the blurb reads. “Yvette was always fascinated with the afterlife, and Buddhist meditation practice opened her up to any spirit who wanted to contact her.

“This manifested in her first family home. Their TV would switch itself on and kitchen cupboards would open and close all by themselves. When alone there, Yvette would arm herself with a Samurai sword to confront her unseen visitors.”  

Ebury said: “But it was a harrowing investigation of eerie 800 year-old Michelham Priory where Yvette’s life-changing ’Most Haunted’ adventure began, and still continues many terrifying quests and over 20 years later. Beware sceptics: the Scream Queen’s story could change your world view forever.” 

Russell said: “Here you’ll walk with Yvette where others fear to tread through chills of the supernatural kind, and she also talks with candid honesty of occasional cold spots she’s encountered in human form. But through all the drops in temperature, the nation’s most celebrated ghost hunter radiates warmth and humour and it’s such a joy to accompany her on her incredible journey from child TV star to ’Most Haunted’ icon. “
