Publisher's summary

Welcome to Haunted Liverpool 36—another volume of extraordinary strange but true stories from the files of Tom Slemen, the internationally known and respected investigator of the unknown and the supernatural.

In this latest addition in the cult series of Haunted Liverpool books, you will listen about the security guard on his night-time rounds who was tempted to join three entities disguised as beautiful beguiling women, and you will also learn what happened to a poor couple who could not afford to marry when they entered a very unusual wedding gowns shop in St John’s Precinct.

Listen about the sinister ancient beings known as the Hadeans, who cast a long shadow down the ages, and discover the fate of a woman who discovered she had a terrifying unearthly life form buried in her back garden. Enjoy the shock a couple receive when they install an old confession box in their home, and delve into the mystery of the Five Emilies.

Be thrilled by the tale of the girl returning from a night out, who was stalked by a ghostly highwayman, and of the couple having an affair that decided to rendezvous in a cemetery and encountered a very famous ghost. You will be unnerved by the account of a mysterious creepy nun, who visits people and knows their darkest secrets, and you will be fascinated by the many timeslips that hint at a very controversial political future for Britain.

Some of the tales are very bizarre but frightening, including the story of the weird Inca Bar that almost results in two men having their hearts cut out, the intriguing stories of “time travel refugees” who hide in the past, and the unearthly story of the nocturnal Nine Green Ladies. There’s a whole chapter on witchcraft concerning Rhea and her Sisters, the sad tale of the brave uncle, a mystery concerning a woman called Whiston Mary, and a moving tale of Miss Mercer—a tragically lonely ghost. You will learn to stay clear of the “Blessed Coins,” and you will have your mind stretched by the story of “The Figment.” All of this plus dozens of more stories in the ever popular series.
