The Running Boy of A37
Heading towards Glastonbury, A37
On a straight stretch of the A37, just heading towards Glastonbury, a most unsettling encounter took place on a summer's day in 2001. A driver, accompanied by his wife and child, was cruising along when they spotted a young boy, frantically holding a goldfish bowl, sprinting up an embankment at an incredible speed. The boy then darted into the road, prompting the driver to slam on the brakes, anticipating a horrific collision. But, to their utter shock, there was nothing - no impact, no boy, just an eerie silence.
