Road between Tweseldown and Aldershot, Aldershot

On a stretch of road between Tweseldown and Aldershot in Hampshire, a rather eerie sighting has been reported. This area seems to be haunted by the ghost of a homeless woman, often referred to as The Bag Lady. According to accounts from November 1990, she was allegedly hit by a car and her spirit has lingered. What's particularly chilling about this encounter is that a car full of witnesses didn't realise she was a phantom until much later. It seems they had seen her, but it wasn't until afterwards that they understood she wasn't of this world.

North Camp, Aldershot

North Camp, a part of Aldershot Garrison, was the scene of a series of bizarre and frightening incidents back in 1877. It started in March and continued through to April and then again in September of that year. Several sentries reported being attacked by a figure with cold, corpse-like hands. The really extraordinary thing about these encounters was that bullets fired at the attacker seemed to have no effect whatsoever. This led to the suggestion that the culprit might be none other than Spring Heeled Jack, a notorious figure from local legend known for his seemingly supernatural abilities and his penchant for violence.
