Ghostly Female Passenger

Dunsfold Aerodrome, Cranleigh, Surrey Apparition Late 20th Century

Dunsfold Aerodrome, a former Royal Air Force base, is where a rather unusual ghostly encounter took place back in 2006. During the filming of the James Bond movie Casino Royale, workers on set reported seeing the ghost of a woman moving along the aisles of a 747 aircraft they were using as a set. The phantom woman is believed to be a female passenger who died from a heart attack at least thirty years prior to the filming. Her presence was noted by multiple crew members, adding some weight to the claim that something unusual was indeed observed.

Interestingly, the 747 aircraft used in the film was not just any ordinary set piece. It was a real plane, and one can only speculate that the residual energy of the passenger's untimely death has lingered on. Although there's no concrete evidence to pinpoint the exact identity of the ghostly passenger, her apparition has been documented as a visual manifestation. The incident occurred during a period when the aerodrome was being utilised for film production, which might suggest that the location's history as a former RAF base and its temporary repurposing for filmmaking could be contributing factors to the reported haunting.

The Vanishing Maid of River Crane

River Crane, Cranford

River Crane in Cranford, Surrey, is a tranquil spot, but one that has been associated with a rather curious ghostly encounter. A mother and son strolling along the riverbank were startled to see a maid dressed in white sitting on a stone seat by the water's edge. The pair must have been quite taken aback by the sight, as they didn't approach or interact with the apparition. On their return journey, however, they noticed that the maid had vanished into thin air, but that wasn't the only strange thing - the stone seat she was sitting on had also disappeared without a trace.
