Road which now runs through Bracken Hill Business Park, Shotton Colliery

In the sleepy town of Shotton Colliery, nestled in County Durham, there's a stretch of road that runs through Bracken Hill Business Park, where a rather bizarre and intriguing haunting has been reported. Back in the early 1970s, two witnesses were driving along this minor road when they spotted a man and a woman walking towards them, bathed in a white glow, as if illuminated by an oncoming car's headlights. The road being narrow, the driver slowed down to a safe speed, but as the car drew level to the couple, they suddenly vanished into thin air. The man's attire was notably vintage, sporting a 1930s-style trench coat, while the woman wore a more ordinary winter coat.

Area around the Old Rectory, Durham

In the quaint town of Durham, near the Old Rectory, a spine-tingling encounter took place in the late nineteenth century. A postman, going about his daily rounds, caught sight of a ghostly shrouded child as he walked past the graveyard. Panicked, he took off in a sprint, the phantom hot on his heels. He dashed into his home, barricading himself and his wife in their bedroom. The sounds of the ghost smashing up the room next door must have been terrifying, and the couple seized the opportunity to make a run for it. They were lucky to have had a local wise woman on hand, who managed to calm the spirit and convince it to return to its grave.
