Two schoolfriend ghost-hunters say they spotted apparitions while visiting a north west former hospital building.
Alan Rogers and John Wharton, paranormal investigators known as C.O.R.P.S.E. Incorporated, searched the former Newsham Park hospital in Liverpool, a popular destination for ghost-hunting. They say they saw a number of suspicious sights on their visit, with at least two spirits spotted, the ECHO reports.
In different parts of the building they said they saw a man wearing a straitjacket and a little girl. "Newsham Park was an orphanage, then it was a hospital, and then it was a mental asylum," Alan said.

"So, I think we’ve captured two different apparitions from two different times." There have been plenty of reports of ghost-sightings at this former hospital in the past, including an old woman seen staring out of an upstairs window, and accounts of young children spotted in what was called the ‘Naughty Boy’s Corridor’.
Ghostly children spotted in this corridor are believed to have died during the hospital's time as an orphanage in the Victorian era. They subsequently sent the pictures to paranormal expert Tom Slemen, author of the Haunted Liverpool series, who confirmed their suspicions.
The team say that while they do some research on a location before they visit it, they avoid looking at other investigators’ evidence.
C.O.R.P.S.E. Inc. said: “That’s why we’re different from other paranormal groups, because we don’t go looking, we just go to investigate them, to investigate properties." Alan said: “Sometimes we do get scared, but it’s natural to us now.”
