Brothers discover 'voice of ghost' on video they filmed at 'most haunted' Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool

Three brothers were given a scare when they watched back what they thought was a perfectly innocent video they shot inside a hotel. Kerry Butters, along with his brother Darrell, 51, and Nicky, 38, stayed at the hotel when they went to see a concert.

While they were there they went for a walk around and took a few videos while they were at it. It was only when they watched it back later that they noticed something sinister.

Kerry, 52, told the Liverpool ECHO: "We went to see Elton John at Anfield and we stayed in the Adelphi Hotel on the Friday and Saturday. We decided to go for a walk round the hotel on the Saturday where I got three or four videos of the hotel.

"I never noticed at first and it was only when I sent the videos off to friends that I got messages saying there was a voice. I then sent them off to a ghost channel from YouTube, who said we had something.

"I didn't hear anything until we watched them back. I've never had anything like this happen before. The hotel was alright, it was just packed when we checked in on the Friday."

In the video shared with the ECHO, a slight noise that sounds like a voice can be heard in the background. It was shot in June last year.

The Adelphi Hotel is known for having supernatural goings-on and was named ‘the most haunted hotel in Britain' by supernatural investigator and author Tom Slemen in 2015. He said at the time: “The Adelphi – in my humble opinion, is the most haunted hotel in the UK and some incredibly strange incidents have gone on in both the present Adelphi and the one that stood there before it in Victorian times.

“I often gave talks in the hotel’s Sefton Suite, and was unaware that this suite is an exact copy of the Titanic’s First Class Smoking Lounge, built by the same craftsmen hired by the White Star line. During one talk, there was standing room only, and I and many other people saw three men standing at the far end of the room who were dressed as naval officers with white caps and dark jackets with all the braiding.”
