Were you in pain were you aware?
Did you sense, I was not there?
I’ve relived that day so many time’s
Playing it over and over again in my mind
Just hoping I could change the ending
Praying that you felt the love I was sending
Begging I could have told you once more,
I sometimes help in clearing a disused cemetery of its over growth of weeds etc. Before it was a cemetery it was a quarry dating from 1775,the stone that was quarried was used to build the old docks and the town hall in Liverpool. After the quarry was exhausted of its stone the council decided to turn it into a cemetery. This sunken 10 acres of land holds over 57,577 graves, some of these graves belong to people who worked at the local work house, also children from the local Orphanage’s around Liverpool .Some notable people also lay there in their catacombs.The rich had their catacombs and vaults, while the poor were buried in pits, with a thin layer of soil on top at the end of the day, ready for the next days poor! I have seen things that I can’t explain. Today it is an urban park behind the Liverpool Cathedral that is below ground level. I also help people who contact us regarding people who are buried there. I often get emails from People doing family trees or simply people looking for lost relations ,I will search the data base for them. Many of the graves were moved in the late 70s to make way for the urban park it is today. I was sent this photo via the cemetery website. See if any of you lot can spot the spooky apparition of a man in 18th century clothing or simply a double exposure of the camera. You judge for yourselves.
