River along Angel and Greyhound Meadow, Oxford

Carpark of Shotover Park, Headington

A driver, who had stopped to catch a quick nap in their car before continuing their journey, was startled awake in the early hours of the morning by a sound that was both unexpected and unsettling - heavy breathing coming from the backseat. The driver turned around, but as soon as they did, the sound stopped. Thinking it was just their imagination playing tricks, they closed their eyes again, hoping to drift off to sleep. However, the heavy breathing started up once more, leaving the driver with no choice but to quickly restart their journey and leave the site.

Road running through village, Iffley

In the sleepy village of Iffley, Oxfordshire, a rather restless spirit used to stir things up. Locals would be jolted awake night after night by the unmistakable sound of a peg leg scraping against the road as the ghostly Peg Legged Man made his way through the village. It was quite a racket, and the villagers, understandably, got fed up with the nightly disturbances. In an attempt to put an end to the haunting, they hired an old man to confront the ghost. However, things didnt quite go as planned. The would-be exorcist, it seems, had a few too many tots of Dutch courage before facing the ghost, and ended up getting taken away by the police for being drunk and disorderly.
