Tapping Telephone Box Ghost
In the quiet village of Newton Longville, a small telephone box stands sentinel outside the historic St Faith's Church graveyard. It's here that a peculiar and unexplained phenomenon has been reported by numerous users. The sound of footsteps approaching the box, followed by someone tapping on the glass, has been heard by many, even when there's no one in sight. It's a strange and unsettling experience that has left several people wondering if they're truly alone.
The haunting of the Newton Longville telephone box is a relatively modern phenomenon, with reports emerging in the late twentieth century. While there's no clear explanation for the cause of the haunting, it's possible that it may be connected to the adjacent church graveyard, which dates back to the medieval period. Witnesses have consistently reported hearing footsteps and tapping on the glass, with some even claiming to have felt a presence nearby. Despite the lack of visual evidence, the sheer number of reports suggests that something unusual is occurring at this Buckinghamshire telephone box.
