This creepy collection of true-life tales takes the reader on a tour through the streets, cemetaries, alehouses, attics and docks of Liverpool.
Containing many tales which have never before been published, it unearths a chilling range of supernatural phenomena, including the Grey Lady of Speke Hall, the poltergeist who scrawled 'I want you out' on a blackboard in a cottage in Hunts Cross, and the truly terrifying tale of 'Spring Heeled Jack', the unidentified apparition who terrorised the citizens of Everton during the 1830s.
Illustrated with more than sixty photographs, maps and drawings, this book will delight anyone with an interest in the paranormal history of the area.
