Church of St Edward King and Martyr, Castle Donington

In the quaint village of Castle Donington, the Church of St Edward King and Martyr stands tall, its stone walls bearing witness to centuries of history. It's here that a remarkable encounter took place in September 1950, involving a brother and sister who had popped into the church to arrange the altar flowers. As they chatted with a vicar they didn't recognise, they had no idea they were in the presence of something extraordinary. The man claimed to have been based at the church but left in 1906, a detail that would later prove chillingly accurate.

It was thought that the spectral figure might be that of the first officer who tragically lost his life in a crash.
