Our latest spooky tale by Tom Slemen this Christmas focuses on an unexplained festive broadcast...
Tom told the ECHO: "I recall this case clearly from 2008, because the main witness was a dead ringer for Paul Newman; his name was Peter; he was in his 70s, lived on Durning Road, Edge Hill, and he'd been recovering from eye surgery and so he was unable to read for a while, so Peter’s grand-daughter bought him a pair of FM radio headphones.
"As Peter was tuning them, searching for a classical music station on a glacial December afternoon in 2008, he heard a child’s voice on the headphones saying, "Amy, Amy, give me your answer do, I'm half crazy, all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish wedding, we can't afford no bedding, but you'll look sweet, washin' your feet in the Manchester Ship Canal."
