Summary
This book - which put Liverpool on the paranormal map - is about ghosts - whatever they are. Every culture has believed in ghosts at one time or another: Buddha trained himself to overcome fear by sitting in a haunted cemetery. Spooky tales are not just a contemporary phenomenon - there are several ghosts mentioned in the Old Testament. In the course of a person's lifetime, the chances of encountering a ghost are surprisingly high. Many of the stories within this book originated from the numerous letters and telephone calls Tom Slemen received from readers of his weekly newspaper column about local mysteries and also from listeners to his many radio programs about the paranormal. The tremendous response from the public is confirmation of a widespread fascination with the paranormal. In Haunted Liverpool, take a spine-chilling journey along city's streets and meet Spring-Heeled Jack, the Penny Lane Poltergeist, Bernie with the broken neck, the Grey Lady of Grove Street and many other spooky characters and unearthly beings.

Easy listening, Tom Slemen tells his stories well and Norman Gilligan reads with a good listening voice, which is important with audio book.

Best Book I ever read!
Absouloutly love the haunted Liverpool series and must say I have every book and audio book I think Toms ever written. I wouldn't say i was your number 1 fan like, but defo in the top 2. These stories remind me of the stories my mum used to tell me straight off the top of her head because I always wanted the ghost stories rather than 3 little pigs. My Mum is to thank for me finding your books, I suppose one good writer knows another as she has gone on to write 5 best sellers and is currently writing her 6th or 7th book to date. I just wish one of these books was narrated by a local man or woman just to be able to appreciate these tales to there full potential. Alan: Number 1 or possibly 2 fan in the whole world

Fantastic Read - Great Ghost Stories
I am a big fan of the traditional ghost story. Tom Slemen’s work here is top drawer! His research is second to none and the narration by Norman Gilligan is superb! I noticed there is a lot in this series and cannot wait to get into the rest of them.

Hear-say accounts and opinions, not stories
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
its like an audio version of the small paperback guides and folk tales on a local area, you pickup when you visit a place.
its not bad, just gets a bit dull after a few hours.
to be honest I have given up about halfway through it, there is only so many..... this person said, superstition says and I was told accounts.... I can stand!
What will your next listen be?
not sure.
How could the performance have been better?
it's perfectly adequate, just the subject gets a bit dull after a while.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Haunted Liverpool 1?
its not really that sort of book.
Any additional comments?
its not awful, just more of a local radio feature than an audio book
