Tom Slemen

[Kev]

hey, no probs. Its a busy forum

Thansk for yur support.

He's no longer on the radio as he was booted off the Pete Price show on Radio City. He's not at all happy about it either from what I understand. I believe there is a petition online to get him is own show; after a few weeks I think it was up to a mere forty-one signatures. Hardly a mandate. Hopefully, people are finally seeing through his tales and the surrounding nonsense. Many people I know are sick and tired of him - the endless promises to unveil the real Jack the Ripper in a yet-to-be-seen book don't help his credibility much either.

And his yet-to-be-seen book on John Sharpe Johnston being the real killer of Julia Wallace as well...

I must say he has a glowing Wikipedia entry. No mention of his controverseys at all .

I can't possibly imagine who wrote it....

[Mark R]

Yes. It can be found here:

I don't think he has 'proved' Wallace didn't murder Julia though...

[SteveFaragher]

I've doubted lots of stories from Tom, however he wrote more about Spring Heeled Jack in his Haunted Liverpool 12 (I think).

While I've heard of the story already, he said that SHJ also visited Childwall too - and gave exact names of the Vicar who was there at the time, plus the organists name too - even I didn't know the Organists name back in 1880 until I did some research. Whether the story is true or not, it does show that Slemen does do a good amount of research in at least this story, something he would have had to have done to make it correct.

Thanks, Cadfael. This tells me that Mr. Slemen probably checked out contemporary news stories of the event which may have mentioned the vicar and organist at Childwall Church at that time.

It's very clever to research names of people who are no longer around to verify the story though. Who passed this story to Tom? It couldn't have been the Vicar or organist themselves. I've noticed that for more up to date stories, it's always a woman called Mary or a fella called Frank and thus the story can't be substantiated.

I have to belived wvery word and if he says Im dead then Im dead

[Ernie]

Steve if your dead, give us a haunting story about Tom Slemen, cheers.

Better still, haunt him out youself Steve. I heard from someone who knew him that in private he didn't actually believe in ghosts at all.

But saying you do keeps the ££££££ flowing in.
