Expert saw scratches on the floor before being tapped on the shoulder

A Liverpool granddad attempting to bring Liverpool's history to life with spine-chilling ghost walks has shared his most haunting run-in with the ECHO.

Keith Braithwaite, 61, worked in security for almost four decades and started his paranormal group in 2002 after he was asked by a friend to help his daughter with a school project. The group - "The History of Ghosts Myths & Legends of Merseyside & Beyond" - now has almost 9,000 followers on Facebook and carries out ghost walks, covering the likes of Rodney Street, St James Gardens and the abandoned tunnels and vaults under Castle Street .

Keith told the ECHO: "They're not really scary, it's more historical. We want to teach people what's gone on in the city." He shared his most uncanny experience with the ECHO, when he was called out to Rodney Street. The Georgian houses there are the setting of a number of famous local ghost stories.
