The body was identified from dental records as that of 21-year-old Christopher Brian Chandler, who was wanted for robbery and had been on the run from the Metropolitan Police since July 16 that year. There were two other women, Judith Lingham and Patricia Ferguson, and Patricia died at the site, but Judith died later on, which is probably where the initial rumour about the bride began. I used to live in Kits Coty, was heading into Maidstone one night, so driving down the slip road from the footbridge down to rejoin bluebell hill Maidstone bound.

When they made enquiries at the house, they were told that it was once the home of a young woman killed a few years earlier on Blue Bell Hill in a tragic car accident. Halloween is just around the corner and what could be more spine-chilling than taking a drive down one of the UK’s most haunted roads?This is a polluted, traffic clogged part of the county of Kent where the A229 dual carriageway connects the M2 and the M20. It is so named because of the difficulty in negotiating the turn, especially for horse-drawn vehicles.

It is believed to be the ghost of a woman who died in a tragic car accident in 1965, near the bridge over the Old Chatham Road. So if you’re looking for a truly bloodcurdling experience, Hangman Hill is definitely worth a visit!

The video shows the figure slowly approaching a terrified driver while the passenger cries for help. So sure he was of hitting the woman, he went to the police station at Rochester to tell them about the incident.

He says other ghosts had been spotted in the area and a taxi driver travelling between Blackburn and Bolton reported seeing the ghostly figure of an elderly woman with long hair sitting in the back seat of his taxi, when he was travelling along the same stretch of road. Goodenough wrapped the girl in a blanket (or rug in some versions), carried her to the roadside and drove off to get help.

The ghostly tale appears to be widespread throughout the world and though most published examples come from the U. Though this particular ghost story has many variants, the most well known version generally involves a young vulnerable-looking girl who stands at the edge of a lonely road late at night and hitches a ride from a passing motorist, usually a lone male. Pluckley in Kent has been named one of the most haunted places in Britain by The Telegraph but it is questionable whether this is the only haunted area. The section of the A229 you mention, near the petrol station, is indeed at the centre of things as far as reported sightings are concerned.
