Haunted Liverpool

A ghost tour of Liverpool

Who's up for a bit of a spooky wander, then? A proper ghostly pub crawl round Liverpool, where the spirits aren't just in your glass, and the dead don't always clock off. This book's packed with tales of hauntings all over town-down by the docks, where the past lingers like a fog; in the theatres, where the show carries on whether you're alive or not; and in the city's finest boozers, where you might just get more than you bargained for when you pop to the loo.

We'll take you through Liverpool's haunted homes and eerie streets, then down to St James' Cemetery-also known as the dead centre of town (because of course it is). And just when you think it's safe to hop on the bus home, we'll cover the ghostly goings-on in the city's transport-haunted taxis, spooky buses, phantom trains, and even a ferry with a few unwanted passengers.

Fancy meeting The Shrieking Woman of Princes Dock? Ever heard about The Empire's Haunted Seat? Or maybe you'd like a stay in the Adelphi - if you don't mind sharing a floor with a ghost or two? Best watch out for time slips too - though if you do find yourself going back in time, remember to take a camera, keep your mind open, your sense of humour intact, and if reality decides to do a runner, at least you'll have a story to tell.

If all the above apply, then you're in the right place.

So pull up a chair, grab a pint, and get stuck in-just don't be last to the bar. And if you're feeling brave, there are even some handy (slightly tongue-in-cheek) ghost-hunting tips in the book for you to try yourself (no guarantees, mind).

This is Liverpool as you've never seen it before - in Haunted Liverpool: Around the City in 8 Pints, the atmosphere is haunting, and the dead are lively.
