Phantom Cyclist of A12
Junction between Jay Lane and Rackham's Corner, A12
On a winter's late afternoon in 1988, a driver and his wife were travelling back to Great Yarmouth on the A12 when they witnessed a bizarre incident. As they approached the junction of Jay Lane and Rackham's Corner, a cyclist suddenly pulled out in front of their car, which was travelling at 70 mph. The couple hit the cyclist but felt no bump, and upon stopping, they could find no evidence that the cyclist had ever existed. This strange event was not a one-off; it was repeated in August 2001 under similar circumstances.
