Captain Harrisons Story
Conway Park Apparition
Whilst he was working for a large grocery chain between the
years 1980 and 1981. James was promoted to manager of their Conwy grocery store. It was not long after he moved there that items started going
missing at first he believed that the staff working for him, were hiding items
alas he was soon to find out the real reason behind the
disappearances.
He had just settled in to his new role, having been there for
about two months the disappearing continued.
This was until one evening when James discovered that the
building was allegedly preoccupied by members of the spirit world, this came
about after he mentioned to a member of staff that no matter how much he
attempted to blocked the back door with draft excluders he was always very cold
in one spot near the door.
With this his benign comment he remembers saying it was so cold
on occasions that the hairs on the back of James neck would stand to attention,
as if being blown by the coldest winter wind and this is when he was told by a
female colleague that an old lady suffered a fatal heart attack may years prior
in that very spot where he felt the frostiest chill, he was told how this
unfortunate incident happened years before the premises had been converted in to
a shop.
Soon after he found out about the ill-fated old lady, happenings
took a much more active turn. He would be alone in the building all be it before
opening, lunch time or after closing, inside the atmosphere would be electric
even though she did not show herself to him at that time, she wanted to let him
know she was there.
No matter what he was doing or where in the building
he was, at least on a daily occurrence he would hear a furious nature of
a sound and then as he looked around to see what it was he would be chilled to
the bone momentarily as if this woman had just walked through
him.
These incidents increased as a large knife he used for cutting
the ropes off of the cages would frequently fly across the room and embed itself
into a door or crate in the storeroom.
This was until one eventful day she decided materializes right
next to him and she appeared as a white mist vaguely in the shape of an elderly
lady.
She gently touched him first on his hand then on to his arm and
both places she touched him became as cold as ice. At this point confused and
scared he ran out of the storeroom and into the shop and stood by the front door
until the staff came back from their lunch breaks. He then waited until he was
in company, he went into his office and phoned the area manager and
resigned.
That to me is the saddest part of this gentleman’s tale, I know
how bizarre and scared he must have felt but this old dear just wanted the touch
of human kindness maybe for one last time?

William MacKenzie
Rodney Street
William
McKenzie is without doubt one of Liverpool’s most famous enigmas, for over one
hundred and fifty years he has managed to capture the imagination for grown up’s
and children alike. If you ask any one in Merseyside who William McKenzie is? Or
indeed what is he famed for? They will come up with one story alone. A story that has been passed down through generations and is still told today by many a tour guide and author alike.
The
story goes: William McKenzie was a devil amongst men; he was a habitual gambler
and philanthropist. McKenzie was a man powered by money and would gamble on the
toss of a coin, it is said how McKenzie met a squire one evening who challenged
McKenzie to a game of cards now the story takes a far more sinister turn when
McKenzie loses all his wealth to his acquaintance and upon losing his last
shilling the stranger posed a curious question: ‘I will play you for your soul’
now McKenzie is said to have been an atheist and accepted the outlandish offer,
needless to say he lost that game as well and upon looking at the man he
suddenly morphed in a ominous character who proclaimed: ‘I will not take your
soul until you are dead and in the earth’this character was indeed the Devil
himself, now McKenzie was shaken and in a state of disbelief, he then set in to
plan that on his death he is to be entombed in a fifteen foot pyramid, sitting
up at a card table holding a winning hand of cards it is told by many how even
till this day McKenzie is walking the streets of Liverpool particularly Rodney
Street where he is said to be entombed.
I took it upon myself to delve deep into the past and see who? Or What? Has made
William McKenzie such a major part of Liverpool folklore. After much researched
I came across the true story of the man who has for so long been the talk of the
town. William McKenzie was born in 1794 in Dumfriesshire and during his 57 years on
earth he made a massive contribution to his chosen field of engineering. During
the 1820’s he worked on the Leeds-Liverpool canal before working on the
magnificent Mythe Bridge that crosses the severn, in the 1830’s he began to
tender for railway work it began with his involvement on the Edge Hill tunnel on
the Liverpool-Manchester railway (1833) and by the 1840’s he had made his mark
to become one of the country’s leading railway contractors. This was no mean
feat and during the later years of his life he worked on the Paris-Rouen line as
well as other major railways in Europe .On his death in 1851 it was decided that he would be laid to rest in St Andrews
Church, Rodney Street with his first wife Mary Dalzeil to whom he had married in
1819 only for her to pass on in 1836, after Mary’s death he remarried a lady by
the name of Sarah Dewhurst in 1839. On his death he was laid into his eternal
slumber with his first love. On his death McKenzie’s estate amounted to over
£340,000 and almost every penny was left to his youngest brother Edward. William
had been dead for over 16 years when his second wife Sarah also passed on, it
was decided that she too should be laid to rest next to her beloved husband so
plans were made and she to is laid to rest in St Andrews next to Mary and
William, now this is the part that bursts all myths and tour guided tales of the
man from Lancashire sitting bolt upright holding his winning hand to cheat Lucifer
himself.
The fifteen foot magnificent pyramid was not erected till 1868 some 17 years after
Williams passing; it was erected as an everlasting token of love by his brother
Edward. On the pyramid you will find the inscription ‘In the vault beneath lie
the remains of William McKenzie of Newbie, Dumfriesshire, esquire who died
29th October 1851 aged 57 years, also Mary, his first wife who died
19th December 1838 aged 48 years and Sarah, his second wife who died
9th December 1867 aged 60 years, this monument was erected by his
brother Edward as a token of love and affection a.d. 1868. The memory of the
just is blessed Prov 10.v.7’ William mckenzies pyramid is not uncommon in Britain, in Brightling, East Sussex, there
is a massive twenty five foot pyramid belonging to Jack Fuller or ‘Mad jack
Fuller’ as he is known in Sussex. It is said in local folklore that Fuller was
entombed in the pyramid in full dress and top hat established at a table set
with a roast chicken and a bottle of wine. This was revealed to be untrue during
renovations. Fuller is indeed buried in the conventional manner beneath the
pyramid there are also numerous other examples in Falmouth, Cornwall where an
enormous forty foot pyramid stands.
This is the link below to his Wikipedia page. Until last month it stated he was entombed inside that was till Kevin showed proof that with out doubt he is under the ground. It was a battle but he got it changed
