STATUSActive
Merseyside is a metropolitan county in North West England, centred on the River Mersey and taking in the city of Liverpool alongside the Metropolitan Borough of Sefton, home to Bootle. The county's dense docklands history and heavy wartime bombing during the Liverpool Blitz have shaped much of its documented ghostlore.
Bootle
Bootle holds the bulk of Merseyside's currently documented reports, including the annual sighting of "Bibby" on Peel Road and Bibby's Lane, hauntings tied to Gladstone Dock, the Old Linacre pub, and the wartime tragedy at the Marsh Lane Slipper Baths — see the Bootle page for the full set of case details.
Notable people
Spiritual medium Derek Acorah was born in Bootle in 1950.
