Ghostly Figure of Hinton

Aging chapel along Church Lane, Hinton, Gloucestershire Apparition Unknown

Church Lane in Hinton is home to a rather intriguing haunting. A ghostly figure is said to roam this stretch of road, although details about the apparition are scarce. The lane itself is a charming, if somewhat eerie, place to take a stroll, especially in the evenings when the sun dips below the horizon. As you walk, you can't help but wonder if you'll catch a glimpse of the elusive spectre.

Unfortunately, there's limited information available about the ghostly figure, and no specific dates or times have been recorded for the sightings. It's possible that the haunting has been observed over a long period, perhaps even centuries. The chapel along Church Lane, which is likely the focal point of the haunting, has stood for many years, and it's not uncommon for places of worship to have associated ghost stories. While there's no concrete evidence to support the claims, the persistence of the rumour suggests that something unusual has been experienced by locals or visitors.

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.
