Did they see ghost on Saints’ bridge?

Did they see ghost on Saints’ bridge? Did they see ghost on Saints’ bridge?

I WAS wondering if your Star readers could help me with a query over what was on the site of the now Tesco superstore in St Helens... the one next to Langtree Park.

Only last weekend my mum and dad were up there shopping when they crossed the bridge over the road towards Tesco when my dad noticed a young lad of about 13/14 coming towards him.

What made him look at this kid was the fact that the kid had grey hair! As he passed, my dad said to my mum "did you see that kid’s hair?"

To which my mum replied "what kid?"

When they both turned round there was nobody on the bridge.

My dad was shocked, he said there was nowhere this kid could have disappeared so quick.

He even checked over the sides of the bridge nobody there.

My mum had said she felt a cold breeze down one side as this kid passed but put it down to the weather. But she didn't see a thing.

As you can imagine my dad was a little shook up by this.

My parents are quite young so I know it's not senility setting in and my dad doesn’t believe in ghosts and the supernatural but he is adamant he saw a ghost.

Are there any accounts of anybody seeing anything or if there is any history surrounding this area!

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

plenty of sightings of ghost all around the town centre,when they knocked the church down and dug up the grave yard to build the tech college extension staff refused to go in the theatre because of sightings and had it exorcised,did that site not back onto the plague pits were a large number were buried? CHRIS COFFEE is the man to find out.

As ghosts don't exist one can only presume there was a kid who has vanishing skills or that the witness was hallucinating (possibly as a result of an undiagnosed kidney infection) and should be taken to hospital immediately.
Either that or the kids imaginary friends was in fancy dress and the kid didnt recognise it.
I had an imaginary friend once. He was a chair called Ethel.
Never saw him on a bridge. What, with him being a chair. Called Ethel.

Your mind is like an umbrella - it works best when it is open.

A more shocking experience - driving along the link road one night in April I saw a lad urinating over the side of the Saints bridge - boy did I whip my windows up quick!!!

Chunkymunky your an obvious balloon, who has the mind of a chimp never mind a fat monkey. And I could think of another use for an umbrella, involving a lubricant.
