Product Description Join Steven Tucker on this unique exploration of the myths and legends, and the tales of the fantastic that are supposed to have happened along the Mersey's shores. Some are just stories; but others apparently have some kind of truth behind them, from pig-killing poltergeists, to tales of Spring-Heeled Jack, to the 'great leprechaun invasion' of 1964. Some are funny, and others are terrifying. Others, such as claims that both Adolf Hitler and Jack the Ripper were one-time Liverpudlians, are nothing more than attention-seeking urban legends. Paranormal Merseyside not only deals with hauntings, UFO sightings and legends from the city of Liverpool itself, though; the surrounding towns and settlements, places like Widnes, Runcorn, St Helens, the Wirral, Frodsham, Rainhill, Southport, Formby, Newton-Le-Willows and Warrington, are also included. About the Author S. D. Tucker is an author and journalist. He has written three books for Amberley and writes a regular column in Fortean Times magazine. He lives in Widnes, Cheshire.
