Beyond the famous Aintree racecourse lies a darker mystery. For decades, silent processions of hooded, torch-bearing figures haunted a local field.
Witnesses, terrified by the Klan-like apparitions, reported sightings stretching from World War II into the 1970s.

Join us as we delve into the eyewitness accounts and investigate the chilling possibility of an ancient pagan cult, the mysterious Lily White Boys, to uncover the truth behind one of Britain's strangest unsolved cases.
