We explored the abandoned caves 'haunted by witches and dwarves'

Crank Caverns is an abandoned quarry that has been out of use for many years.

Due to the mystery and sheer size of the eerie cave system, the site, close to Rainford, has become the subject of folktales. From an army of bearded dwarves living deep underground, to witches and other spooky paranormal experiences reported.

Surely none of this could be true? The ECHO set out to explore the caverns to see if there was any substance to these legends - or if we could understand why how rumours started.
