Our latest spooky tale by Tom Slemen for Christmas, focuses on a young girl who helped her older sister....
In December 2011, just a few days before Christmas, 22-year-old Jack Davies was walking up Linacre Lane, Bootle in a fog on his way to his mum's house, and as he was passing Bootle Cemetery he saw the faint outline of a little girl at the cemetery gates. She waved at him and shouted, "Help! My sister has fallen over! Please help her!"
And Jack ran to the little girl, and she led him to a grave, sobbing, "she fell!" And when Jack got there he saw a woman in her fifties lying face down at a grave. Jack vaguely remembered the recovery position he had learned in a first aid class in school some years ago, and wasn’t sure what to do.
