Wendover's Barefoot Phantom Girl

Antiques At . . Wendover, Wendover, Buckinghamshire Apparition Unknown

Antiques At Wendover in Buckinghamshire is home to not one but two ghostly residents. The first, a young girl named Victoria, is said to roam the shop's aisles in a white gown and bare feet. Her presence is a gentle one, and she is often seen walking quietly around the store. The second phantom is a grumpy older man, possibly a farmer, who also haunts the premises. His gruff demeanor provides an interesting contrast to Victoria's ethereal nature.

Historically, the building that houses Antiques At Wendover has been a part of the community for many years, and it's possible that the phantoms have been present for just as long. While there are no specific dates or times associated with the hauntings, the fact that multiple people have reported seeing Victoria and the older man suggests that their presence is more than just a fleeting apparition. The shop's current use as an antique store may be a catalyst for the ghosts' appearances, but without further research, it's impossible to say for certain.

Historical Context

The building has been a part of the Wendover community for many years.

Chiltern Puma Sighting

RAF Halton housing estate, Wendover

RAF Halton, a former Royal Air Force base in Wendover, Buckinghamshire, is home to a rather unusual paranormal sighting - the Chiltern Puma. In May 1983, four women walking through the estate came face to face with a large, unidentifiable cat-like creature. It passed within three metres of the group, leaving them shaken. Over the next three weeks, the creature was spotted a half dozen times, all within a thirteen mile radius. The encounters were limited to that year, but the legend lived on.

Woodland close to Coombe Hill Monument, Butler's Cross

Deep in the Buckinghamshire woods, near the historic Coombe Hill Monument, a strange sighting has left one dog walker with a lasting impression. On a September evening in 2020, the witness was strolling with their canine companion when they spotted a young woman in Edwardian attire glide effortlessly across a path, vanishing into thin air. This eerie encounter wasn't an isolated incident; a few weeks prior, the same witness had seen a similar woman, this time accompanied by a child, both dressed in white, walking along a parallel path. They too had disappeared before the paths crossed.

The Driverless Stagecoach of Stone

Road towards Thame, Stone

On a warm summer evening in 1994, a motorist driving along the road towards Thame in Stone, Buckinghamshire, was startled to see a stagecoach making its way in the opposite direction.

The witness, who was travelling in a car, was understandably shocked by what they saw, and it's little wonder that this encounter has become a well-known ghost story in the area.
