Bitton Church Financial Conversation

Church, Bitton, Gloucestershire Apparition Post-War

Bitton Church stands in the picturesque village of Bitton, Gloucestershire, where a rather unusual ghostly encounter took place in 1950. A witness was standing outside the vestry door, listening in on a conversation between two men discussing financial matters. The conversation was so engrossing that it seemed completely normal to the witness - that was until he knocked on the door and walked in, only to find the room empty and the conversation abruptly ceased.

Further investigation into this strange occurrence reveals that the incident remains a puzzling and unexplained event. The witness's account is a compelling one, and it's difficult not to wonder what really happened in that vestry on that day. Although we don't have much information on the history of Bitton Church, it's clear that this event has left a lasting impression on those who have heard the story. The fact that the conversation stopped so suddenly and the room was found empty suggests that something unusual was indeed at play.

The Vanishing Butler

Manor House, Cold Ashton

Cold Ashton is home to a rather strange and intriguing haunting at Butler & House, a manor that seems to have played a trick on a lost driver back in the 1930s. The story goes that a woman, driving through the area, stopped at the house to ask for directions from the butler. He provided her with the information she needed, and she continued on her way. However, it wasn't long before she realised that something was amiss. She returned to the house, only to find it in a state of disrepair and completely empty. The building she had stopped at earlier seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving her with a most peculiar and unexplained experience.
