Story
In Haunted Liverpool 34, cult author Tom Slemen documents some strange beings, including faceless terrors, moving statues, real-life vampires, shape-shifting entities, and time-slips. In this audiobook, you will not listen to the usual lame and hackneyed worn-out stories of ghosts; you will listen to original stories concerning the Lost House of Sefton Park, the terrifying visitor to a 24-hour supermarket in the wee small hours who spread terror among the staff with the macabre contents of his holdall.

Story
Running parallel to the conventional history of Liverpool ... there is an unseen seam of supernatural stories that have been largely ignored by the strait-laced historians,' says Torn Slemen, who is, of course, fascinated by this other history and no subject matter is too strange or too terrifying to merit his scrutiny. While some stories may prove to be nothing more than urban myths, many turn out to be only too spine-chillingly true.

Story
When his ship is torpedoed by a German U-Boat during World War I, a man is taken prisoner by the Germans. Later, he escapes from the U-Boat to the sea, where he discovers a vast body of land, previously submersed on the Pacific Ocean floor, recently ripped from it through some geological upheaval, and bearing evidence that a highly intelligent, monstrous, race shares dominion of the Earth with humanity, and for the moment exercising it's rule only on the ocean floor.
Summary
Strange Liverpool is Tom Slemen's fascinating book documenting the bizarre-but-true stories about his hometown that are not found in most local history books. Hear about:
- Adolf Hitler's alleged spying mission in Liverpool...
- The mysterious occultist named Bezzera who told a young Beatle he would be the most famous man in the world…
- The gigantic UFO - witnessed by thousands of people - that passed over Liverpool during its dramatic fiery descent into North Wales and the ensuing Government coverup…
- Mighty Mary Richardson, whose strange power allowed her win a tug-o-war match with a Liverpool rugby team…even shire horses could not make her budge an inch…what was her secret?
- The incredibly charmed life of Scotland Road's Mick Riley - which inspired the phrase, "the life of Riley"…
- The Secret Mersey Tunnel, which runs from Speke to Bebington…
- The Summer of the Leprechaun - when hundreds of people in Liverpool saw Little People in the parks and gardens of the city…
- The bizarre but creepy tale of the so-called Greek Vampire who terrorised Victorian Liverpool…
Plus many more astonishing stories of Liverpool which prove the old saying that "truth is stranger than fiction".

Strange Tales from Liverpool
This short book was a collection of strange and unusual tales from Liverpool. This is not to be confused with the excellent Haunted Liverpool series the author writes, which has a decidedly more paranormal focus. This book contains stories the author has found in his extensive research for the most part are not of the paranormal variety. A few are contained in other books, but the stories here are all fascinating reads. Tom Slemen's meticulous research and gifted storytelling skills are once again on display. I listened to the audiobook while reading. While the narration was crisp and clear, the narrator was American. These books have a British time and should be read by a narrator of the same. Most enjoyable book and audiobook.
