Hidden History: Lost Civilizations, Secret Knowledge, and Ancient Mysteries (57 page)

BRIAN HAUGHTON was born in Birmingham, England, in 1964, of IrishWelsh parents. He studied archaeology
at Nottingham and Birmingham Universities, and has worked on archaeological projects in England and
Greece. He has written on the subject
of unusual people in history for various print and Internet publications,
and has also authored a book, Coaching Days in the Midlands (Quercus
1997), about stage coaches and highwaymen in the English midlands. His
particular interests include the sacred
landscapes of prehistory, the modern

mysteries and traditional folklore surrounding ancient sites, historical human enigmas, and the occult in the
19th and early 20th centuries. At
present he lives in Patra, Greece,
where he teaches English and writes
for his Mysterious People Website. He
long ago fell for the lure of ancient mysteries and the supernatural, initially
inspired by television programs such
as Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World
and Leonard Nimoy's In Search of...
series, and later by visits to the ancient sites of Greece, Crete, Britain,
and Ireland.
