Jack Lexington
Hello, My name is Jack Lexington...well my real name is Craig but my pen name is Jack Lexington. I chose the name because Jack from 'Jack of all Trades' and Lexington which is just a name I made using my daughters name Lexi. I am from Liverpool in the UK and was born on the 5th of May 1988. I have one daughter named Lexi-Mai and have interests in sports, history, Reading and Writing. I am also an online retailer where I run a store called TDS Gifts & Homeware. I also have a small Youtube Channel I post things for fun now and again. called TDOS The Department Of Shorts I have a good however somewhat dark at times sense of humour and try not to take things to heart. I first tried writing when I was 28 and my grammar was appalling. I decided to actually try to improve this after writing a couple of fact books and a series called 'Unsolved Murders In The United Kingdom' I am hoping that with every book I am improving but it is not for me to be the judge of that. It may also be obvious but I am not really good at selling or advertising myself I do not like to push advertisements on people but I am just an ordinary down to earth person. Maybe if you like you can subscribe to my Youtube Channel or even follow me on Twitter. Perhaps even buy a book most of my back catalogue is on Amazon only at the minute but I will try to make them more widely available to people.

The Beatles' Ghost
At The Cavern Club
Liverpool's Cavern Club is an iconic music venue that has hosted some of the most famous musicians in history. The Beatles, arguably the most famous of them all, performed at the club many times in the early 1960s, establishing their reputation as one of the most exciting and innovative bands of the era. But their appearances at the Cavern, as well as their legacy, seem to have left a mark on the club that some believe is supernatural.
According to legend, a ghostly figure of John Lennon, one of the band's members, has been seen wandering the dark corridors and hidden passages of the club. Some people have claimed to have encountered his apparition, which appears to be translucent and slightly glowing. But why would John Lennon's ghost be haunting the Cavern Club?
One theory is that the club was a very important place for The Beatles as it was where the band played some of their first gigs and got their big break. The Cavern Club was also the place where they developed their unique sound, which is still celebrated and emulated today. So it's possible that John Lennon's spirit remains attached to the place where he and his fellow band members first found their voice.
Moreover, the club has a long history of strange occurrences that some believe are connected to Lennon's ghost. There have been reports of unexplained noises, objects moving on their own, and even sightings of phantom figures that resemble the band members. These sightings have been reported by visitors, staff and musicians who have played at the venue.
So is John Lennon's ghost really haunting the Cavern Club? While there is no scientific proof that ghosts exist, it's clear that the club has a strong connection to The Beatles and their music. Whether Lennon's ghost is actually present, or if it's just a product of people's imaginations, is up for debate. But one thing is for certain, the legend of the Beatles' ghost at the Cavern Club is likely to persist for many years to come.
The Devil's Chair At
St James Cemetery
ST JAMES CEMETERY IN Liverpool is known for its unique architecture, stunning monuments, and fascinating history. One of its most mysterious attractions is the so-called Devil's Chair, an old stone seat that has become a notorious location for dark rituals and paranormal activity.
The exact origin of the Devil's Chair is unclear, but it is believed to be part of an old tomb or mausoleum that was once located in the cemetery. The chair is made out of stone and is shaped like a throne, with two stone hands resting on the armrests. Legend has it that anyone who sits in the chair will be cursed by the devil himself.
Over the years, many visitors to the cemetery have attempted to sit on the Devil's Chair, despite the warnings and stories. Some have reported feeling a chill go down their spine, hearing strange noises, or seeing shadows moving around them. Others have claimed to have been physically pushed or pulled out of the chair by an unseen force.
Despite the stories and warnings, the Devil's Chair has become a location for dark rituals and occult practices. It is said that some people use the chair to summon spirits or communicate with the dead.
Others claim that the chair is a gateway to the underworld or a portal to another realm.
While there is no concrete evidence to support
these claims, the Devil's Chair continues to be a source of fascination and fear for many people. Some believe that the chair is cursed or haunted by an evil entity, while others view it as a harmless curiosity that has become the stuff of legend.
Visitors to St James Cemetery are advised to exercise caution around the Devil's Chair and to show respect for the dead and for the history of the cemetery. Whether you believe in the legends and stories surrounding the chair or not, one thing is certain: the Devil's Chair remains one of Liverpool's most enigmatic and enduring mysteries.
The Green-Eyed Woman
Of Speke Hall
Speke Hall, a historic manor house located in south Liverpool, is widely considered to be one of the most haunted locations in the city. Amid the many ghostly apparitions reported in and around the manor, one particular spirit has become the subject of many chilling tales: the Green-Eyed Woman of Speke Hall.
Legend has it that this woman was once the mistress of the estate, a woman with piercing green eyes who was said to be obsessed with her appearance and with retaining her youthful beauty. She was rumoured to dabble in dark magic and the occult, and was feared by the townsfolk for her mysterious nature and strange powers.
Despite her reputation, the Green-Eyed Woman was known to be very beautiful, and many men were attracted to her. But it was rumoured that behind her alluring gaze lay an evil and manipulative spirit that had the power to control men and bend them to her will.
Over the years, many visitors to Speke Hall have claimed to have seen the Green-Eyed Woman wandering through the estate's many rooms and passageways. Some have reported feeling a cold
chill pass through them as she passed by, while others have claimed that they felt her green eyes piercing through their very soul.
Others have claimed to have experienced more terrifying encounters - waking up suddenly in the middle of the night to find her staring at them, for example, or hearing her moans and footsteps echoing through the dark halls.
While there is no conclusive proof that the Green-Eyed Woman ever actually existed, her legend has endured for centuries as one of the most haunting
