On a autumn day in 2009 me and a team mate decided to go and take a look around the most haunted graveyard in Liverpool. It was bright and the air was cool until we passed through the tunnel that led us to death. Either side of us reminded us that where we were was not a place to come alone especially at night. The walls are lined with tombstones as you walk down into the place of not so much rest. On a very cold and dark night, me and my team decided to venture beneath the streets of Liverpool at the foot of the towering Cathedral. As 3 members entered the grounds at gate entrance I headed round to the other side to enter through the tunnel alone. As I stood looking at the Cathedral I knew it was my last chance to ask for protection against what could be in there. As I started to walk into the tunnel with tombstones either side, no light to guide my way I could feel the air getting colder my sight was being restricted by the darkness and at that moment I knew I was not alone.
I had 2 choices I could either turn back or carry on.... I decided to carry on as I needed to know what awaited me in the 10 acres of cemetery. As I got through the tunnel and into the depths of the cemetery I could see the rendezvous in sight. All the time looking around to see what I could see, listening to movement behind me knowing that there was only me. As I got to the rendezvous I asked if the team had any experiences. I then started to inform them of the nights proceedings which consisted of telling them a bit of history and why so many gravestones are there. I informed the team that there is allegedly 57,000 bodies buried in the grounds many never named or their name engraved in the concrete floor. We explored the grounds, catacombs and large monument erected for Victorian MP William Huskisson. We left a digital recording device in the monument which when we listened back later on you could distinctively hear coughing and banging of metal. Whilst investigating the grounds we also caught a picture of a face but no body. As we left the team decided to leave one by on through the tunnel, as we paid our respect at the foot of the Cathedral we looked over the Cemetery and knew that it was a very scary place!
