About this listen

Strange Liverpool is Tom Slemen's fascinating book documenting the bizarre-but-true stories about his hometown that are not found in most local history books. Hear about:

  • Adolf Hitler's alleged spying mission in Liverpool...
  • The mysterious occultist named Bezzera who told a young Beatle he would be the most famous man in the world…
  • The gigantic UFO - witnessed by thousands of people - that passed over Liverpool during its dramatic fiery descent into North Wales and the ensuing Government coverup…
  • Mighty Mary Richardson, whose strange power allowed her win a tug-o-war match with a Liverpool rugby team…even shire horses could not make her budge an inch…what was her secret?
  • The incredibly charmed life of Scotland Road's Mick Riley - which inspired the phrase, "the life of Riley"…
  • The Secret Mersey Tunnel, which runs from Speke to Bebington…
  • The Summer of the Leprechaun - when hundreds of people in Liverpool saw Little People in the parks and gardens of the city…
  • The bizarre but creepy tale of the so-called Greek Vampire who terrorised Victorian Liverpool…

Plus many more astonishing stories of Liverpool which prove the old saying that "truth is stranger than fiction".

Very interesting tales

Made me order more of the Haunted Liverpool series

The American narrator mispronouncing several Liverpudlian terms provided some unintentional humour

The American accent and the mispronunciation of Liverpool streets and area's detracts from the narrative.

Mispronunciation of Liverpool areas grates
