One well-known street in Liverpool is reportedly haunted and ghosts have been seen arguing and fighting.
Rodney Street in the Georgian Quarter is famous for its doctors and architecture, but it's also allegedly known for its eerie happenings. According to Tom Slemen, an expert in all things spooky, the street is also home to ghosts and legends.
From the mysterious pyramid in the street’s St Andrew’s cemetery which is said to house the mortal remains of William Mackenzie – a Victorian who played a game of poker with the Devil for his soul – to the ghost of Polly, a tragic lady in white who haunts the former nurses’ home, Rodney Street probably has the most haunted dwellings in the city, according to Tom.

One ghost is “Lantern Jaw” a man with a huge square jaw with a long flowing opera cloak and a top hat. He has reportedly been seen walking down Rodney Street after dark for years, and is often confused with a similarly clothed but shorter ghost who may be William Mackenzie of the Pyramid.
Tom said: "The two ghosts are often seen to argue and fight, but no one knows why. Nor does anyone know who the beautiful petite woman with the huge “Quality Street” Regency bonnet is who walks down nearby Maryland Street with a little girl – but they began to walk after bones were unearthed by workmen in St Andrew’s Cemetery - of an adult and child.
"I have heard ghostly carriages pulled by invisible horses tearing down Rodney Street and braved jade fogs to come face to face with the shades of those long turned to dust. In fact with over forty catalogued ghosts this surely is the most haunted street in the world."
Liverpool is said to have it's fair share of ghosts, spooks and spectres. In other areas of the city a wailing banshee, a mysterious vampire and UFOs have reportedly been spotted.
