Does anyone have any Ghost stories that have been passed down?
When my grandmother Agnes GANNON was around 5 (1896-ish) she and her mother where going home from shopping when she looked back down the street and saw a "funny man dancing in the air".
She asked her mother about it & her mother just picked her up and hurried home.
Years later, her mother told her that what she had seen was the ghost of a hanging.
The place name has come down to us as Markey's Gate (Marquis Gate, perhaps?)
Has anyone ever heard of anything similar?
They lived in Kirkdale not far from Great Mersy Street.
