Macclesfield Canal, Bosley

Along the serene Macclesfield Canal in Bosley, Cheshire, a strange sighting has been reported. In July 2007, a ten year old girl and her mother were enjoying a boat trip when they spotted a figure running across a nearby field. The girl excitedly pointed out the 'jogger' to her mother, who also caught a glimpse of the person in black moving towards them. But as the figure approached, the mother realised that this was no ordinary jogger - the person was wearing a monk's habit and had no face under his hood. The figure stopped abruptly, as if paused in mid-sprint, and then vanished into thin air when the mother turned to check on her daughter.

South of railway station, Macclesfield

Macclesfield Railway Station is usually a hub of activity, but on one November evening in 2011, a train driver witnessed something truly unusual. As he was departing the station at around 21:45, he caught a glimpse of a white, misty dog moving quickly across the track from left to right. What's particularly striking about this sighting is that the dog seemed to appear out of nowhere, and there were no obvious entry or exit points nearby. One side of the railway is bordered by a six metre high wall, while the other side has a 3.5 metre high mesh fence - it's a puzzle how the dog could have materialised or vanished so suddenly.
