Parish Church, Croydon

Croydon Parish Church is home to a mysterious grey figure that's been causing a stir for years. This ghostly presence has been identified as either Archbishop Sheldon or a grey nun - the truth remains unclear. According to local legend, the ghost's visitations stopped once Sheldon's tomb was repaired, but that doesn't explain the continued sightings of a wailing woman named Elizabeth Finch. The church's long history and possible connections to these individuals only add to the intrigue.

Roundshaw Housing Estate, Waddon

The Roundshaw Housing Estate in Waddon, Surrey, is home to a rather eerie apparition known as the Faceless Motorcyclist. This ghostly figure has been spotted early in the morning, clad in old-fashioned clothing, giving the impression that he might have been stationed at this very site during World War II when it served as a RAF base. The estate's history as a military base could certainly provide a plausible explanation for the motorcyclist's presence, but it's his facelessness that truly sets him apart and adds to the enigma.

Addiscombe railway yard, Croydon

Addiscombe railway yard in Croydon has a reputation for being haunted by a mysterious figure. A worker once reported seeing a grey figure walking from the sheds, its face blurred and distorted.

Former cafe in Brighton Road, Croydon

This former cafe on Brighton Road in Croydon is said to be haunted by the ghost of John Carver, a man who was acquitted of murdering his wife back in the day. Sixty years after the crime, the cafe's owner reported seeing a tall, grey-clad figure without a head or legs climb the stairs and hover on the landing. It's a pretty strange sighting, and one that's been linked to Carver's troubled past. Apparently, he was hounded by a crowd who wanted him dead after leaving court, and he eventually moved away to escape. The cafe is thought to be one of the places he tried to hide out before leaving the area.

Purley Way, Croydon

On a typical morning in the 1970s, a pedestrian was walking along Purley Way in Croydon when he noticed something strange - the roads were eerily empty of traffic. As he looked up, he was startled to see a large, heptagonal-shaped craft hovering silently in the sky. The craft had a distinctive red underbelly and bright silver sides, and it moved slowly from left to right. The witness was so taken aback that he briefly looked down, and when he looked up again, the craft had vanished, having apparently moved away at incredible speed. What's more, the witness later discovered that he had lost an entire hour of time, leaving him with more questions than answers.
