Haunted Hosts

On a dark stretch of the A1067 road between Fakenham and Norwich, a lone driver had a hair-raising encounter in 2006. As they were driving back from the cinema in Norwich, they spotted a large black wolf devouring a carcass by the side of the road. The creature stood about a metre tall at the withers, its yellow eyes gleaming in the dark, and its black hair matted and unkempt. For a brief moment, the wolf looked up as the driver slowed down, before returning to its gruesome meal. The shaken driver quickly continued home, not soon forgetting the terrifying sight of the foaming wolf.

On a quiet stretch of the A1075, halfway between Thetford and East Wretham, a most unusual creature was spotted in June 1986. A driver travelling towards Thetford from Watton caught a glimpse of a large, long-haired being with a greyish-white coat, small ears, and a long snout. As the witness drove past the creature three times, they got a good look at it, noting its large eyes and four legs. But what really caught their attention was when the creature stood up on its hind legs, taking on an almost human form, towering between six to eight feet tall.

On the misty and snowy stretches of the A11 road from Norwich, heading towards London, a peculiar phenomenon has been reported. A DJ, commuting back to the capital, encountered a lone figure not once but twice, in two consecutive months. The first time, during a light snow shower, the driver swerved to avoid what appeared to be the silhouette of a man in a hat. As the driver neared, the figure vanished into thin air. The following month, under a veil of mist, a similar event unfolded, leaving the witness with more questions than answers about this ghostly presence.

The old bridge in Acle, Norfolk, is said to be haunted by the vengeful spirit of Josiah Burge, a man who was brutally murdered on April 7th. Locals claim that on this day every year, Josiah's blood seemingly pools on the bridge, a grim reminder of his untimely death. The story goes that Josiah was killed by a man seeking revenge for the death of his sister, and what's even more chilling is that Josiah's ghost is said to have appeared only once, to exact his own revenge on his murderer.

On the A47 in Acle, Norfolk, a chilling sighting has been reported by multiple motorists. A figure clad in green, with no face to speak of, has been seen standing on the side of the road. Drivers have had to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting the apparition, only to have it vanish into thin air. This unsettling phenomenon has become known as the Faceless Man of Acle, or alternatively, the Acle Straight haunting.

On a quiet stretch of road heading west into Acle from Halvergate, a driver had a startling encounter on 30 March 2009. As they approached the turn off to Halvergate, a middle aged man suddenly walked out into the middle of the road from the right hand side, right in the path of their car. The figure then turned to look at the driver, and in a bizarre and unsettling moment, the car passed straight through him. This area has long been associated with paranormal activity, traditionally known for sightings of a horse and cart, but this particular incident stands out for its clarity and the direct interaction with the driver.
