Haunted Liverpool 8 Tom Slemen

Following his now well-established tradition, in Haunted Liverpool 8, local paranormal investigator and broadcaster, Tom Slemen, has yet again produced a wealth of supernatural stories with a Liverpool connection. Many of these tales have been told to him directly, whilst the more historical ones have been uncovered in the course of his painstaking research into the city's often mysterious past. One story of the latter kind concerns the ill-fated ship the Martha Dunn and her devoted captain, William Benedict. It tells of the ghostly ship's revenge when a gang of wreckers killed both captain and crew as they sailed into the Mersey one dark, fog-bound night. Another creepy tale which came out of Tom's researches, took place in Wales in the 1970s. In a secluded field, encircled by thick forest, a group of Liverpool teenagers got more than they bargained for when they disobeyed their aunt's warning and set off to investigate an old stone cross - the Stone of Lamentations. The dark, evil forces which were unleashed in that field will make any reader's hair stand on end. From the ghostly harpist in an Everton attic whose haunting tunes could predict the future, to the flying nun who foiled a burglary in Mount Vernon Street by terrifying the would-be villains, Tom's stories are endlessly entertaining with their best-selling mix of mystery, history, the strange and the supernatural.
