A team of ghosthunters are convinced they saw spooky apparitions during an investigation at a former hospital building said to be haunted.
Alan Rogers and John Wharton, childhood friends turned paranormal investigators who are known as C.O.R.P.S.E Incorporated, visited the former Newsham Park hospital in Tuebrook, Liverpool.
During their hair-raising trip they say they managed to snap pictures of things which go bump in the night.
Among their discoveries was a man who seemed to be wearing a straitjacket and another ghost which seemed to be a young girl, the Liverpool Echo reported.
Ghosthunter Alan said: “Newsham Park was an orphanage, then it was a hospital, and then it was a mental asylum.
“I think we’ve captured two different apparitions from two different times.”
Newsham Park Hospital has a history of ghost sightings, including an old woman seen staring out of an upstairs window, and accounts of young children spotted in what was called the ‘Naughty Boy’s Corridor’.
The Naughty Boy’s Corridor is said to be one of the most active areas in the whole building, with many spectral sightings of children thought to have died during the hospital’s time as a Victorian orphanage.
C.O.R.P.S.E. Inc. got their start in the paranormal investigation business with a poltergeist they spotted in Rock Ferry.
They sent the pictures to paranormal expert Tom Slemen, author of the Haunted Liverpool series, who confirmed their suspicions.
The team say that while they do some research on a location before they visit it, they avoid looking at other investigators’ evidence.
C.O.R.P.S.E. Inc. said: “That’s why we’re different from other paranormal groups, because we don’t go looking, we just go to investigate them, to investigate properties.”
Alan added: “Sometimes we do get scared, but it’s natural to us now.”
Earlier this month a baffled shop worker shared he believed he had caught the moment a 'mischievous child ghost ' pushed a trolley into his new sports car after 'following him home' from a ghost hunt.
Coby Todd was baffled when a shopping trolley hit the side of his Ford Mustang outside his work earlier this month when nobody was around to have moved it.
The 21-year-old returned inside to view the bizarre store CCTV footage, which shows the metal cart turning around on its own to face his vehicle as he gets inside.
Despite nobody being in shot the trolley then darts across the car park and crashes into Coby's car where it stopped.
The keen ghost hunter says he's convinced the trolley was pushed by the spirit of a nine-year-old boy he'd made contact with the day before at a ghost hunt.
Coby said: “I just thought it was cool, I wasn't scared.
“Maybe he's not at peace yet and he was trying to let me know something. He wouldn't be considered a demon, he'd be considered a friendly spirit.”
