Top ten most haunted roads in the UK

25 July 2018


Electric Brae, Ayrshire, Scotland

Electric Brae in Ayrshire, Scotland is a road that is said to have been haunted by witches hundreds of years old.

The road is also known for the strange phenomenon that takes place if you place your vehicle in neutral facing down the hill it will begin to eerily roll backwards uphill as if being pushed by a supernatural and unseen force. Spooky.

Blue Bell Hill, A229, Kent

The A229 is a large stretch of road that runs straight through Kent and has been known for its mysterious paranormal sightings of a woman in a bridal gown.

In 1965, on the very same stretch of road, Judith Langham was knocked down and killed tragically... on her wedding day.

Mersey Square, A6, Bedford

The A6 is a historic north-south road from Luton in Bedfordshire to Carlisle in Cumbria and runs through Mersey Square in
Manchester. It has been said that on this strech of road in Mersey Square that a woman dressed in dark biker gear, who is expressionless, holding nothing but a helmet will attempt to hitchike and should anyone be kind enough to stop she would
simply disappear...

The Devils Highway, A666, Bolton

The A666 also dubbed the ever so approriately named Devils Highway is a road from Manchester through to Langho.

This road is known for its dark and mysterious phantoms that roam the road near Bolton, there is even footage that  emerged in 2015 showing a ghostly figure crossing the road and then vanishing.

Kinmount Straight, A75, Scotland

The A75 also known as The Ghost Road is a primary trunk road in Scotland, linking Stranraer to the Cairnryan ferry ports.

A 15 mile strech of the A75 is said to be haunted due to the number of odd occurences that have taken place. In 1957 a haulage driver saw a couple run in front of his truck - convinced he had just hit them he stopped to investigate.. nothing was under or smeared on the side of his lorry.

Gracious Lane, A21, South London

The A21 is a trunk road in the south of England and one of several that connects directly to London. 

Many reports have been made on this road by drivers who have been driving down the A21 and have seen the road in front of them dissapear completely, upon panicking and braking hard, the road re-appears as if nothing happened..

Dartmoor Dunsford, B3212

Dartmoor has been described as one of - if not - the most remote location in all of England and is home to the “Hairy Hands myth.

In 1962, Florence Warwick was driving down the remote road, she pulled over to check a map and when she looked up she saw a huge pair of hairy hands pressed against the windscreen, she tried to scream but before she had the chance, the hands disappeared...

The M6 motorway, England

The M6 is a major motorway in England that stretches over 200 miles long and is the longest road in the UK.

The M6 has the most reported paranormal sightings than any other road in the country. One of the most prolific is what
appears to be Roman Soliders walking down the road at night along with transparent horsemen that run across the anes...

Victorian Sally, A636, Wiltshire

The A636 is a main road in West Yorkshire that starts at Wakefield and connects with the M1 motorway.

This strech of road is said to be the site of the death of a young girl called Sally, and, when driving down this road, people have seen an apparition of what seems to be a young girl in a Victorian-like dress that jumps out in front of passing vehicles - this has caused many fatal accidents...

RAF Ghost, A696, Northumberland

The A696 is a major road in the north of England that runs from Northumberland to Newcastle. 

In 2015, two men travelling had spotted a figure standing at the side of the road, he looked gaunt, pale and like he had a
helmet under his arm. At first the two thought they where seeing things and decided to turn around at which point the figure was now sticking out his thumb, attempting to hitchike. The men, nervous, stopped to give the man a lift but upon stopping, the figure had disappeared without trace.
