    Hello Max and MissInformed

    Such hoofprints have been associated with Spring-Heeled Jack. Maybe Mr Slemen was talking about Spring-Heeled Jack when he mentioned hoofprints in Liverpool? A site on the topic of Spring-Heeled Jack mentions such prints seen in Devon in February 1855:

    "The hoof like prints were attributed by some to have been made by the devil himself while others thought it was the work of Spring Heeled Jack."

    just a boring job where i sneak online alot philip!!

    As for the promised info to Max about these hooves in Liverpool....

    on 12th jan 1866, there was a great snow storm in Liverpool.at 6am the following day, a policeman noticed some animal track prints on Great George Street. He examined them more closely and noticed that the tracks were as if an animal had put one front directly in front of the other and walked in a precise straight line. the distance between each print was 8 inches. The tracks went right up Great George St and on each side of a factory wall. And they also went across the roof of a house in Oldham St. The trail ended in Scotland Road.

    Superstitious people in the city put the tracks down to the Devils footprints.


    That is a summarised account taken from Haunted Liverpool 3 page 51-52 by Tom Slemen.
