Investigators hear whispers in abandonded rooms of police station

An all-female team of ghost watchers claimed they heard ghostly "whispers" while in the abandoned rooms of a Liverpool police station.

The group of paranormal investigators - made up of mum and daughter Yvonne Moores and Rebecca Smith, along with friend Denise Shields - call themselves Ghost Watchers Northwest.

They made a permission visit to the old police station in Lark Lane, south Liverpool. While there, they said they captured eerie disembodied voices, footsteps/bangs and poltergeist activity on video, which they posted on their YouTube channel.

Rebecca, 35, said: "This was one of the most active places we have investigated and I think it can be a place that is sometimes overlooked. One incident involved us asking a question and myself hearing a clear response/whisper 'Yes', this was captured on camera.

"Initially, the history is what interested us in the location of Lark Lane police station. Often you find places involving a lot of emotions such as police stations can be quite active. We are from Bolton and surrounding areas but investigate areas around the northwest. We have a few more investigations in mind for the Liverpool area and have investigated Newsham Park in the past.

"We all have completed a spiritual awareness and development course with a well respected medium so feel our group is unique in the sense that we are spiritually aware and we each bring something different to the group.

"I often pick up on the disembodied voices, my mum Yvonne is a little sceptical but will sometimes pick up on things during an investigation and then there is Denise who is clairvoyant and has some mediumship abilities."

The group were given access to the former police station by DeadLive UK, who organise psychic/ghost hunting nights around Liverpool and have exclusive rights to the Lark Lane building.

The Old Police Station is now the community centre and a hub of activity on the lane, located just a two-minute walk from historic Sefton Park. It plays host to ghost tours, market stalls and monthly craft fairs.

One of the cells is still standing and is free for people to have a wander round. Among those once held there was Florence Maybrick - the young American who married Liverpool cotton-broker James Maybrick and was convicted of murdering him by arsenic poisoning in 1889.

She was sentenced to death, which was later reduced to life imprisonment, though many people believed she was innocent.
