Haunted Liverpool 18

Haunted Liverpool 18 gathers Tom Slemen’s accounts of reported apparitions, creatures, premonitions and uncanny incidents from Liverpool and its surrounding districts. Among the cases are Amelia, described as a child vampire haunting a house in Norris Green, the Werewolf of Abercromby Square, and allegedly haunted cars in Wavertree that became involved in a dangerous encounter with police.

The collection also covers a disturbing timeslip in Kirkby, the phantom known as the Thing on Miller’s Bridge, and reported encounters with a shapeshifter on Hanover Street. Alongside these modern legends, Slemen records Liverpool superstitions and omens concerning love, pregnancy, marriage, birth and death, as well as accounts of hauntings at Walton Gaol, including an apparition described as an old-fashioned warder.
