Ghost hunters capture 'The Shining' twins on camera during stream in haunted Liverpool hotel

Ghost hunters say they spotted the spirits of two children whilst spending the night at a popular hotel - just like in the Stanley Kubrick classic The Shining.

In the hit 80s film, main character Danny Torrance finds two twins while going around the hallway of a hotel on his tricycle.

They say hello and ask Danny to come and play with them, to which Danny has visions of their corpses in the same hallway, their blood splattered everywhere on the walls and floor and an axe lying on the ground.

Danny covers his eyes and when he uncovers them, they are gone.

But now, two British ghost hunters claim they had a similar vision.

Husband and wife Lee, 55 and Linzi Steer, 52, from Rotherham, who created the 'Ghosts of Britain' Facebook page with more than 1.8 million followers, stayed at the Adelphia hotel on Ranelagh Street on Tuesday, June 22.

The couple said they had wanted to stay at the Adelphi for quite some time after it was named the most haunted hotel in the UK.

After booking room 105, which the pair said had seen paranormal activity before, they got to work investigating the building.

Lee said: "One of the first things that was weird was the lift. We were filming by the lift and it just opened for no reason with nobody inside.

"We had heard the lifts do what they like from some other people that had stayed, but to see it in person was weird.

"We also kept hearing whistling noises from the lift as well as scratching noises in our room."

As part of the pairs paranormal venture, they Facebook live their trips to allow people to watch at home in their own time.

Linzi said she only saw the silhouettes of two children in one of the clips when an eagle-eyed viewer pointed it out to her on social media.

The 52-year-old said: "To me it looks like two children and I feel like one of them is a girl.

"It reminded me of the twins out of The Shining.

"We also tried to use one of our devices to speak to some spirits but the only response we had was somebody saying 'you b******'."

Lee added: "They never did anything that we asked them to do, it was always in their own time."

Other than staying at the Adelphi Hotel, the pair also visited The Beatles Story and John Lennon's home.
