East Carleton Road, Mulbarton

On a clear morning in January 2022, a witness travelling to work on East Carleton Road in Mulbarton caught a glimpse of something extraordinary. As they drove along the road, an extremely large, shaggy grey coloured dog darted out ahead of them. The creature was estimated to be around 1.8 metres in length, with short, pointed ears, an oversized snout, and massive feet. The witness was understandably startled by the sudden appearance of this enormous canine, which seemed to vanish as quickly as it appeared.

Outskirts of Swainsthorpe, Swainsthorpe

On the outskirts of Swainsthorpe in Norfolk, a rather unusual ghostly sighting has been reported. The phantom bicycle, said to have hard iron tyres, has been seen and heard on separate occasions. It appears to be riderless, adding to the mystique of this paranormal phenomenon. The fact that it was observed and heard in the early twentieth century suggests that this could be a residual haunting, with the bicycle's ghostly presence being a manifestation of a past event or person.

Caistor Hall Country Club, Caistor St Edmund

Caistor Hall Country Club in Norfolk is known for its beautiful grounds and rich history but on one afternoon in 1965 it played host to a rather unusual visitor. Stanley Taylor had stopped by the club to pick up a coat when he noticed something strange hovering in the sky. The object was shaped like a rugby ball and roughly the size of two double-decker buses. It had a dull silver finish and gave off a noticeable hum. The sighting was brief as the object suddenly shot off with a 'whoosh' and quickly disappeared into the clouds. Another person in the vicinity heard the sound but didn't see the object.

Rainthorpe, Tasburgh

Rainthorpe Hall in Tasburgh, Norfolk, is home to a poignant and romantic ghostly encounter. On the evening of 8 September, a ghostly pair is said to appear in the gardens of the hall. According to local legend, the pair are Amy Robsart and either her half-brother John Appleyard or her husband Robert Dudley. The date of their manifestation coincides with the day Amy died after falling down the staircase at Cumnor Place. This tragic event has led to numerous sightings of the ghostly couple over the years, with many reporting a strong sense of sadness and longing.

Road between Fakenham and Norwich, A1067

On a dark stretch of the A1067 road between Fakenham and Norwich, a lone driver had a hair-raising encounter in 2006. As they were driving back from the cinema in Norwich, they spotted a large black wolf devouring a carcass by the side of the road. The creature stood about a metre tall at the withers, its yellow eyes gleaming in the dark, and its black hair matted and unkempt. For a brief moment, the wolf looked up as the driver slowed down, before returning to its gruesome meal. The shaken driver quickly continued home, not soon forgetting the terrifying sight of the foaming wolf.

West of Norwich, Colney

Colney's rural church seems an unlikely place for a dark and frightening experience but that's exactly what two women encountered on an autumn visit in 1971. They described how the atmosphere quickly turned oppressive and one of them suspected witchcraft was at play. The sudden change in atmosphere was palpable and unsettling.
