Skinner's Hill towards A367 Inn, Camerton

Skinner's Hill in Camerton, Somerset, is home to a rather intriguing ghost story. A cyclist, who had travelled up this hill countless times, reported a most unusual sighting just after sunset in late spring 1984. As he cycled up the hill towards the A367 Inn, a passing car momentarily illuminated what appeared to be a man on horseback, clad in a cape or long coat and a hat, just ahead of him. The cyclist was understandably startled, but before he could process what he'd seen, the figure simply vanished into thin air. What's particularly interesting about this account is that the cyclist never saw the horseman again, despite making the same journey numerous times before and after the sighting.
