Book Description
Be transported into a ghostly world of wonder and terror in volume four of the Haunted Liverpool series.
From the Inside Flap
Where are we? Who are we? Why are we here? Simple questions which defy simple answers and have taxed mankind for thousands of years. So many grey areas of unknowing surround us on all sides. In this fifth volume of Tom Slemen's immensely successful Haunted Liverpool series, such quintessential problems are tackled in his familiar recounting of well-researched supernatural incidents.
The reader is transported into a world of wonder and terror as Tom delves into more fascinating local mysteries, zealously guiding you through the creepy scenarios. You will encounter mind-blowing mysteries, such as the vanishing hitch-hiker, the wish that moved a cottage, and the demonic doll who brought an evil and cursed fate to all who owned her. There are details of enigmatic and unfathomable incidents, such as the invisible force-field that barricades a man from his bed, and the miraculous effects of the ethereal Sister Veronica, the ghostly nun with inconceivable healing powers. Notions of predictive capability are explored; not to mention the ubiquitous Mister Bill, the phantom tulpa who unsettle the experienced ghost hunter, Slemen, himself!
Listeners to Radio Merseyside and readers of his weekly column in Merseymart, will ne well acquainted with Tom's captivating tales of Liverpool's ghostly phenomena, which are guaranteed to make every reader wonder just what else is out there …

I have always been skeptical about localised books like this, so it took me a long time to decide wether or not to bother picking this book up. I'm so glad I did !! This is one of the best books I've ever read, I finished it in about 6 hrs, you can't put it down once you start it.
The stories are not so short they leave you wanting more, but also the author doesn't pad the tales out so much they become long winded. Tom Slemen sets the tales in a very matter of fact way, only stating known information and statements from people there at the time of the occurence if it is a recent tale, if an ancient tale, he states this at the start of the story, never adding his own comments or trying to twist the tale. He writes in such a way as to let you make up your own mind.
This book is superb, I urge anyone interested in the supernatural to go out and buy this book, even more so if you happen to be a Liverpool resident. I promise you, you'll never want to put it down!

As a a fan of the supernatural Haunted Liverpool 5 has been the best supernatural book I have read so far even though I like the other brilliant Haunted Liverpool books by tom slemen. This book has got to be the most exciting and the stories, i was that engrossed i read it in two days. Non stop. At work , after dinner, although the story about Mister Bill was a bit frightening i did exactly as Tom Slemen said to do read another storie soon afterwards. The chapter on the baffling babaies was my favourite, reading about the talking babies and also the story about the baby wgho said " why have i come back" was brilliant. I did not like the chapter on time slips on Terryifing Time Slips very interesting although it is nice that things like that can actually happen. My alltime favourites in the book are the chapters Hauntings,Near Death and Outer Body Experiences and Predictions. The best part though is The Witche's Rede which is at the front just before you go into the chapters.
Anyone who buys this book is guaranteed to enjoy this book as much as I did.

...but for something that claims to be "True" Ghost stories it's very far-fetched, without a shred of evidence to back any story up. The reading equivelent of reality tele.

TRIPE
I should have realised this would be a bad book when I heard he is friend's with Pete Price, the local DJ in Merseyside. The book is full of inaccuracies and is irritating. Read more
