A28, Tenterden

Tenterden's A28 road can be a pretty ordinary place, but for one woman it became a route to a rather extraordinary encounter in February 1997. She was driving along, probably lost in thought, when suddenly a semi-transparent man dressed in black stepped out right in front of her car. She hit the figure, or at least that's what it felt like, and slammed on the brakes, but when she got out to see if the man was okay, he had vanished into thin air. Her car was undamaged, which only added to the surreal nature of the whole experience.
