Bidston Hill’s ‘Black Hood’ legend revived after hooded axeman encounter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WELCOME to Haunted Wirral, a feature series written by world-famous psychic researcher, Tom Slemen for the Globe. IN JULY of this year, a lady named Courtney contacted me to ask if I had ever heard of a ghost on Bidston Hill that looked like a man wearing a long, black, one-piece suit and a squarish hood of the type executioners of old were said to wear. Courtney and two female friends had seen such a figure on Bidston Hill on a sunny afternoon in late June. He appeared to be carrying a pole. Wh

WELCOME to Haunted Wirral, a feature series written by world-famous psychic researcher, Tom Slemen for the Globe.

Haunted Wirral: Ghosts that seem real (opens the original)
Read excerpt
WELCOME to Haunted Wirral, a feature series written by world-famous psychic researcher, Tom Slemen for the Globe. A CARNATE ghost is one that appears solid and real, as opposed to the semi-transparent, ethereal types of apparition that are sometimes reported. A case in point locally is the Purple Girl, sometimes also known as Purple Mary. She was first reported to me around 2009 by a man named Jed, who had worked at fairgrounds in New Brighton and North Wales during the 1960s and 1970s. In the s
