Two men from Merseysidesay they were "followed" by a "laughing presence" while exploring some "haunted" woods in Wirral.
Ghost hunting team Adam Billing and Chris Cummings run a YouTube channel called Haunted Scouse, on which they explore haunted spots in Merseyside.
The pair recently explored haunted pubs in Liverpool, recording their trips to The Lion Tavern on Moorfields, Coopers Town House on Cases Street and Peter Kavanaghs on Egerton Street.

This time the paranormal investigators decided to have a look over the water at at Storeton Woods.
The woods are known for the Lantern Man, a tale that dates back to 1970s, along with other supernatural stories.
Adam Billing, a primary school teacher in Wirral, told the ECHO : "You have that sense that someone is really is following you. At around 11 minutes Chris walked past a dog walker and unfortunately didn't see him so Chris carries on up the path and this big Great Dane just pins him up against a tree.
"It s*** him up a bit. It's really funny to watch and he can laugh about it now but it wasn't the paranormal that got him on edge that night.
"Afterwards, when we were putting some of electronic devices that we use through, we were picking up a bit of laughter coming through.
"There's a real sense that someone doesn't want you there and that there's someone following you round, seeing what you're doing and you're just constantly looking over your shoulder."
The 35-year-old and his friend Chris, 44, don't make money from their YouTube channel, Haunted Scouse, and explore these "hotspots" for fun.
Dad-of-two Adam told the ECHO: "I've always watched paranormal shows and for me it was like 'is this real?' I'm a primary school teacher and I've always enjoyed teaching history. I love history and love the history of old places so we try and tie in a bit of both.
"We look at the historical aspect of places and look at older places on the Wirral and in Liverpool and then tie in the paranormal investigating to go with that. We don't just run in there asking 'where's the ghosts? Where's this where's that etc' we kind of think who was here or what was here 50 or 100 years ago and try and investigate that way. I'm still on the fence and a bit sceptical.
"I know Chris has had a lot happen to him in the past but I'm still very scientifically minded and think we'll try and debunk as much as I can by thinking there is always an explanation but the more I've started doing this the more I've started thinking how I can't easily explain things."
