The Caped Phantom of Hemel
Redbourn Road, Hemel Hempstead
On a dark and deserted stretch of Redbourn Road in Hemel Hempstead, a chilling sighting has left witnesses shaken. It's here that a caped figure, clad in a wide-brimmed hat, has been seen crossing the road in front of unsuspecting drivers. One witness, driving home on 19 April 2009 at 00:30h, was the first to report this bizarre apparition. The figure vanished from their rear-view mirror, leaving the driver with a lasting sense of unease. A second witness, three years later, described the figure as feeling utterly 'wrong', so much so that the police were called to the scene.
