Liverpool's most haunted locations are to become a visitor attraction.Tourism managers are considering opening a haunted heritage trail which would take in scenes of paranormal activity and unexplained phenomena.It will join a series of organised walks already upand-running and take in the city's maritime, literary, and architectural highlights.Council leader Mike Storey asked for the idea of a Haunted Trail to be explored after it was suggested to him by a resident.He said: "There is so much about the history of Liverpool that it seems around every corner lurks a story to be told."I have asked the tourism office to look into the idea of a haunted walk."The walk would be used by not only tourists, but spooked out residents and even children learning about the city's history.Local author Tom Slemen, whose books and broadcasts about paranormal activity have won him fans across the world, said: "I set up a ghost walk around the city centre earlier this year and hundreds of people turned up."

It became so popular that we had to make it a ticket only event."He added: "The city has a wealth of stories to draw on, particularly those places of Victorian origin."

It makes a change from selling Liverpool on the strength of The Beatles.

Thanks to Hammy, there are a fair number of Tom Slemen's ghost stories in UM's ghost section, and from reading those, it's fair to say, Liverpool has van loads of spooks and grisly tales.

Nice idea.

I've always wanted to go to England and Scotland, and I think it would be cool to go on a haunted places tour! There's one in Ontario Canada and another one off the mainland on Vancouver Island.

Yeah, there's a 'Haunted Walks Tour' in my city, Ottawa.

I went on it, sadly it was really boring. A guide took us over the city by night with a lamp, pointed out buildings and told us scary stories about the building. Nothing special.
