My First Ghost Story | Gateacre - Liverpool | Paranormal Investigation | Episode 1

[@sophiew1967]

Really lovely to discover your channel ,I myself grew up in Childwall ( Bowring Park) right next to this old railway line and shamefully never walked down it after a flasher jumped out on us as kids in the 1970's.lol. It's so wonderful to see so many families walking and on bikes and the bird song too crowing out the incessant noise of traffic .That whole area is steeped in ancient history and in ritual too ..hence Bloody Acre the field right next to All.Saints church in Score Lane..a church so old it's in the Doomsday Book.I remember ( I' m 54 ) being a young hippie/ pothead 😂in the 80' s regular walking round Childwall Woods & The Black Woods in Woolton and finding evidence that someone had been ' practising' some sort of rituals ...a circle of burnt candles in the middle of woodland is a bit of a giveaway.lol..Have you ever read anything about a bizarre sect called ' The Lillywhite Boys'

[@jrspiritcommunicator7611]

Great story chris 👍, the unexplained noises in the woods were like a kid playing hide and seek and every time you turned round they were behind a tree! eerie

[@GhostQuestTV]

Thanks JR. Chris here. I grew up literally across the road from here and didn't realise the richness of the history. It's certainly got a 'feeling' around there. It was great to read so many comments from others experiencing similar things. It was mine and Adams first ever investigation so it made it all the more 'raw'. haha

[@mrsmagssmyth9220]

My ex partner, grew up on Lee Park estate. He hung around the ‘Nook’ and ‘ralla’ when young. One night his friend met them, running from the Nook, white as a sheet, they followed him all the way home. He was that scared, he couldn’t tell them what he saw. They also saw faces in the ponds on the golf course. Reflecting them standing behind them, but on turning, nobody was there.

[@GhostQuestTV]

Thank you for sharing that with us Mags. It has been amazing how many personal stories people have shared with us. We have certainly offered an opportunity to show how active the Ralla is.:-)

[@Stiffd1]

Further back on that rail and time line ( ..ahah!) on Childwall Valley Road Bridge. The houses opp. Barnham side. There is a house where a knife murder of a babysitter took place in the late 60s and haunts the left side cuttings next to the bridge supposedly...

[@markchester9353]

The ralla looks a spooky place.thanks for sharing this Chris.

[@leegandy2956]

Brilliant that cris , was it Ricky Harris you was with mate .ill have to listen out when I’m on there on me bike 👍🏻

[@GhostQuestTV]

Thanks Lee. Yes mate. It was Ricky Harris. From that point down towards Halewood is VERY active mate. :-)

This was really good I enjoyed this Chris ❤

[@JeffLloydsouthport]

Used to go to the Gateacre Hall Hotel using the nook tunnel lots of regulars came into the pub in the seventies white as a sheet having seen a ghost. We used to have campfires in the wood just beside the tunnel. Its there several of us witnessed a strange white ghostly figure gliding through the trees as mentioned in my book The Sat Nav Guide To Your soul

[@GhostQuestTV]

Hi Jeff. Thanks for taking the tie to comment. Glad our episode could bring back some memories for you.

[@alisonbongo3287]

I used to work at the gateacre hall and the nook pub was definitely haunted! Plus I can’t find one picture online about this pub?

[@ste2442]

Lots of memories of the ralla and the nook . Used to live on Dee Court so practically next to the ralla . Early memories of sitting outside gatacre hall with a glass of lemonade (early 80s with me ma and step da) still live near the ralla now further along mackets . Great vid this mate really interesting . I think one of the houses in the nook was something to do with a vicarage .

Just heard you on Talk Radio so thought I would watch the video, and as I'm a red supporter I was even more interested in you guys being in Liverpool. I live in Cornwall and we have lots of haunted places down here, if you're ever down this way let me know and I'll tag along.

Hi Gareth. Thank you for giving the episode a watch off the back of the radio appearance. It's great to know it got us some views. :-) Hope you enjoyed the episode and, once we are fully up and running again, we will be looking to spread our wings a lot more as locations hopefully invite us in to investigate their places.

You sir name Cummings (its mine too) is not very common ... our family lived not far from the ralla Wellgreen Road on The Childwall Valley Estate opposite the now gone Coronation Pub (now The Lidl) we lived there from 1962 to 1992.

Am Alwsys on the bike path.. Never seen tha brick wall.. Never seen the tight path with trimmed grass exit either.... Av walked that path everyday... Gatacre especially

[@GhostQuestTV]

Hi Ben. The area we investigated and filmed on was further down towards Lee Park. The bridge we were on and under is there and offers a walk through from Lee Park to Gateacre. Hope that helps.

[@jameswatsonatheistgamer]

I'vs rode along it many times over and nothing.

[@GhostQuestTV]

@@jameswatsonatheistgamer Hi James. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Growing up around there I can say that this was the only time I saw anything so I guess I was just lucky. :-)

[@jameswatsonatheistgamer]

@@GhostQuestTV Hello and you're welcome. I guess so. But the thing is. I require evidence and in today's modern digital world. It's easy to fake it. See modern horror films. For example. The new update of poltergeist and then there are mental health problems. I'm not saying you are faking it or that you're, not a normal human being. But you can understand my scepticism. Then you have the fact that you were out looking for a ghost and on a dark secluded towpath and by a wooded area. Your imagination and fear are already ramped up and you think normal everyday sounds that happen, in the pitch black of night creepy and spooky. Which wouldn't bother you in the daytime. When it's light. Then someone else says you hear/see that and then you start hearing and seeing things. Someone else can make you think something is happening. When it isn't. As in hysteria. You see my point. But have fun with it.

[@jameswatsonatheistgamer]

@@GhostQuestTV One other thing. Time displacement is also a thing. With time being a dimension. It's possible for people of the past to sometimes partially come from their past to our present. Either partially visible or just auditory sounds. Physics is a weird thing.

[@Rockchickliverpool]

I’ve always felt uncomfortable on the ralla over the years, whether it was walking or cycling. Always felt watched/had to hurry, through the section between Belle Vale bridge to Lydiate Lane mainly…

[@nathanhessey5649]

Hi Chris , about 25 year ago me and 2 friends were heading down the loop line (ralla) towards the lydiate lane bridge we were about 300 meters from the bridge or was 9pm and dark when we all froze when we saw about 50 meters in front of us what looked like a priest or bishop in a big white gown wearing some sort of white high hat and holding a staff or something . It just went across from one side of the ralla and into the bushes and we could sort of see through it , I’ll never forget that image 😄

[@GhostQuestTV]

Hi Nathan. There are so, so many stories of the likes and the area has such a long and rich history to it. It's as if we could go back once a week and different areas would bring different spirits. You're very lucky... most go a lifetime without seeing anything. :-) Thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@knottybogeye6387]

I was with my mate walking down the raller we were by the tunnel before the walkers playing fields, it was 2pm warm summers June afternoon he saw a monk undr the tunnel. I never seen , but he became extremely pale couldn't speak, we walk to alder hey he told me what he seen,

[@adventurtimewithste]

Am 39 years of age mate I was playing there around 8 or 9 if you walk up the raller towards merryvale just before the bridge on the left there is a pathway called the black hole that’s where I seen the little girl in white twice, this video has freaked me out you mentioning the girl in white

[@GhostQuestTV]

Hi Stephen. That's amazing that you have seen her too. To take a story from my own childhood and film an episode around it and, not only find someone on the day to back it up but others in the comments on here is amazing. Thank you for watching and commenting. :-)

[@adventurtimewithste]

[@elizabethplows8333]

Is that you enter housing estate ?

[@stuartinnes81]

From sarah .my boyfriends was murdered 2004 his partical body was found on the nook so heartbreaking .i live not far in Woolton village ..

[@sophiew1967]

Sorry that went itself..Yeah that area has associations with this sect/ cult & I distinctly remember a ' skipping song' ( sure all Liverpool ladies remember singing them as young girls) and the song was about them all dressed in green .I know in Court Hey Park which was right next to my mum's old house a bonfire was seen surrounded by dancing naked people on the first field as you walk into Court Hey Park ..I also remember heading about the police in the 1970' s chasing some guys wearing green robes actually along this loopline ! .I think Tom Slemen mentions the Lilywhite Boys in one of his books ? I lived in a house in Sefton Park where I had major poltergheist activity ,I lasted 4 yrs in that flat...3 1/2yrs longer than everyone else..still think about that experience a lot nearly 18 yrs later

[@frankblack1185]

What was the location please? Would like to investigate it myself. The growl could of been a fox or a badger. Would be good to take audio recordings and see what turns up.

[@GhostQuestTV]

Hi Frank. This is in an area of Liverpool called Gateacre. An old railway line that is now a footpath running for miles through the city. It is known locally as 'The Nook'. I know what you mean about the growl but it was literally yards from my ear on the night and you can see when I spin around there's nothing there.. :-/ It was very unsettling. I'm glad I wasn't alone. haha Thank you for watching and good luck if you go and pay the place a visit. :-)

[@frankblack1185]

@@GhostQuestTV Indeed I have heard growls on several occasions in Scotland and Wales. When you hear it you know it couldn't of been made by anything human or animal. They are VERY unsettling to experience. I just always look for alternative logical explanations in order to hopefully know if Ime having a real paranormal experience or a natural event. Good video and thank you for the information and the upload. I will have to check it out. 👻

I grew up in Gateacre. Our house backs on to the Raller. I've been on it once at night in the 90's when I was drunk with my best mate. Didn't see anything that night but the atmosphere is creepy. I've probably seen you about Chris somewhere, I'm 44 (female). Used to drink in the Bear & Staff and of course The Gateacre Hall Hotel as a local.

@@MikeWells420 We love comments like yours Michael. We ourselves have to be open to rational explanations. The last thing we want is to claim everything as paranormal.
