THE PLOT

On a cold but clear night on 2 November 1914, the unarmed Royal Navy support vessel Daniel Adamson was patrolling the waters off Liverpool. Visibility was good and First Mate Albert Johnson was on watch in the wheelhouse for possible enemy vessels. He left the wheelhouse after spotting something suspicious on deck ... Albert Johnson was never seen again!! After returning to port, his disappearance was reported and in the meantime, one of the deckhands, Pat Shaughnessy left to go ashore and disappeared. It later turned out that Shaughnessy was a German spy. It was assumed that the First Mate had seen Shaughnessy 'signalling' to an enemy boat and went to investigate. Shaughnessy fearing being exposed as a spy overpowered the First Mate and threw him overboard. To this day it is said that Albert Johnson revisits the boat to warn of any danger. Crew members have spoken of seeing a lone figure sometimes at night, standing on deck at the prow but when they have investigated, no one is there... just sometimes a lone, wet footprint! These footprints can appear all over the boat and at all times. Is this the sign that Albert Johnson's spirit is still sailing the Ralph Brocklebank? Gordon Summers, local researcher and member of the British Paranormal Association wants to find out the truth? Unfortunately, in his way will be the film crew from “Help My House Is Haunted!”, the hit TV series that takes a ‘tongue in cheek’ look at the paranormal. Gordon thinks it is cheap tacky and irresponsible television. So how will he get on with the presenter Carol Kenning and it’s eccentric psychic medium Glinka Zoborowvski Gordon wants to conduct some serious scientific investigations but could the confrontations with the HMHIH team lead to more tragedy and death?
