The Road Crosser of Great Milton
In the sleepy Oxfordshire village of Great Milton, a strange encounter took place on a country road on April 30, 2008. A woman, who had stopped her car to answer her mobile phone, was startled by a large black cat that crossed the road in front of her. The cat stood an astonishing three feet high and had a long black tail that drooped downwards. The whole sighting lasted for around five seconds, leaving the witness to wonder if she had really seen what she thought she had.
Further investigation into this sighting reveals that the witness was alone at the time and there were no other reported incidents in the area on that day. The description of the cat as being unusually large and with a distinctive tail suggests that this may not have been a ordinary animal. While there is no historical context to suggest that this road is haunted, the fact that the witness was so startled by the encounter suggests that it was an unusual and perhaps unexplained event.

Souldern's Spectral Visitor
Rector's Cottage library, Souldern
In the sleepy Oxfordshire village of Souldern, a remarkable encounter took place within the walls of Rector's Cottage. It's here, in the library, that a very unexpected visitor appeared to the rector. Mr Naylor, a gentleman who had been dead for five years, materialised and spent a most unusual ninety minutes chatting with the rector. Their conversation was apparently quite normal, until Mr Naylor dropped a bombshell: he told the rector that his own time was drawing to a close. And remarkably, just a few days later, the rector met his maker, passing away mid-sermon.
The Vanishing Cyclist of Little Milton

A driver heading towards the village spotted a cyclist who suddenly vanished into thin air. The driver stopped to see if the cyclist had fallen off their bike but could find no one. This bizarre incident was not a one-off, as nine years later, the same driver was travelling with their son when they both witnessed a cyclist disappear in the same neighbourhood. Despite a thorough search, no trace of the cyclist was found.

The Archibald Ghost
Brook Cottage, Moreton
Brook Cottage in Moreton, Oxfordshire, is home to a rather charming ghost known as Archibald. The occupier of the cottage reported seeing the figure of a man wearing a black cape and top hat in the 1960s. Initially startling, the occupier soon grew accustomed to Archibald's presence and even learned to live with his knocking. Over time, the ghost earned his nickname and became a familiar, if somewhat unexpected, housemate.
Shotover Park Breathing Entity
Carpark of Shotover Park, Headington
Shotover Park carpark in Headington, Oxfordshire, is a spot where a rather unusual and unexplained incident took place back in December 2008. 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.
