Ghostly Apparition on A28

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.

Biddenden White Figure Haunting

Small wood in area, Biddenden

Deep in the Kentish countryside, a small wood near Biddenden has been home to a rather unusual ghostly presence. This rural spot became notorious for sightings of a white figure, particularly during the winter months, between Christmas and Twelfth Night. The spirit was said to be most active during this festive period, pre-1930s. A local farmer, understandably spooked by the apparition, sought help from none other than Jasper Maskelyne, a well-known magician and paranormal investigator. Maskelyne, determined to get to the bottom of the haunting, ventured into the wood at night, shotgun in hand, loaded with salt. As the white figure drew near, Maskelyne fired the shotgun, and in a surprising turn of events, the ghost was revealed to be the spirit of a farm labourer.
