LIVERPOOL'S most haunted locations are to become a visitor attraction.
Tourism managers are considering opening a haunted heritage trail which would take in scenes of paranormal activity and unexplained phenomena.
Just one small section of the city centre could be used on the Haunted Trail taking in these ghostly locations.
. H&M, on Church Street, was known as Hendersons in 1960 when fire ravaged the building and 11 people were killed. Since then scores of staff have reported mysterious sightings and, in the early hours of the morning, figures have been seen fleeing the building.
. At Bluecoat Chambers, in Church Alley, a figure ofa woman or girl has been seen staring out of the window. Little is known about her other than the fact that she wears a Victorian- style nightshirt.
. At the Neptune Theatre, former owners the Crane Brothers are known to have spooked out actors and stage hands over the years.
. Visitors to Waterstones on Bold Street will be surprised to know that the store has often been linked with paranormal behaviour. In 1996 an off-duty policeman was the latest of a string of shoppers to have a vision as he was walking past the store. The world around him transformed and the store became a ladies haberdashery anda Caplins Boxcar drove past.
. At St Luke's Church on Berry Street the most common sighting is of a Victorian man in a top hat, while other people have reported hearing a church organ.![]()
