Castle Vale housing estate, Birmingham

Castle Vale housing estate in Birmingham is home to a rather unusual ghostly phenomenon. It all started back in 1987 when a man reported being virtually deafened by the sound of an old aircraft engine that came out of a thick fog that surrounded his house. The following evening, the fog and the engine sound returned, but this time it wasn't just one person who experienced it - a mother and her children who lived two miles away also heard it. The strange thing is that the estate was partly built over the site of the Second World War Castle Bromwich Aerodrome.
