Couple turn home into 'ghost ship' to help family after double tragedy

A Bootle woman who has turned her home into a ghost ship for Halloween hopes to raise money for a grieving family.

Lorna Smith will open her Hawthorne Road home to the public on the big night to raise money for the Moore family. Karen Moore died recently and Shay Moore died at the beginning of the year.

Lorna said she will leave a donation bucket by the front door and hopes locals will give generously. She said: "We did the same last year and we had people queueing down the road past the pub. My partner Carly is close to the Moores and we wanted to do something for them. They have had such a tough time and we thought it would a nice gesture."
