Main road through the village, Mitchell

In the quaint village of Mitchell, nestled in the heart of Cornwall, a chilling incident took place on the main road in 1965. A car driver, travelling through the village, was shocked to see a young girl dressed in Victorian attire run in front of an oncoming lorry.

What's more, the other pedestrians in the area didn't appear to have noticed anything out of the ordinary. A few miles down the road, the car driver narrowly avoided a serious accident, and in a bizarre coincidence, caught a glimpse of the phantom Victorian girl smiling, as if she was pleased that the accident had been prevented.
