Haunted Liverpool Casebook

Haunted Liverpool Casebook gathers reported encounters, legends and uncanny incidents linked to Liverpool and the wider north-west. Tom Slemen includes accounts of timeslips, a day when the city was said to freeze in time, and an eerie black bus carrying supposedly hellbound passengers. Other stories feature witches at large in Liverpool, a ghostly pirate ship with a spectral crew, and a warning associated with the Christmas Angel of Death.

The collection also turns to darker and stranger claims: a ventriloquist’s dummy allegedly involved in a possession, the story of Mary Down the Grid and two unsolved child murders, and rings of supposed power beneath north-west England. Further accounts concern a television used to investigate a neighbour’s affair and an old school cap linked to revisiting childhood.
