Abstract

Readers of my FT articles will know that I have a particular interest in collecting and recording testimonies of genuinely weird first- and second-hand experiences that people have had. I infer that my articles and presentations mean that individuals are comfortable approaching me, knowing that they will receive a sympathetic ear; although I always ensure that I ‘test’ their stories as far as is reasonably possible for authenticity, consistency and completeness. Following my Strange Stories From Southport article [FT370:42-45] I received a number of stories via FT itself and direct communication. I was also given new stories by attendees at my occasional fundraising events. As a result I found that I had an eclectic collection of extraordinary testimonies, where the only real connection between them is that they all have some link to the Merseyside area. Therefore, I present herein a veritable Smorgasbord of the bizarre for your delectation!
