Product Information

Four years after the accident, a man on his way home to Rochester late at night saw two pedestrians walking towards him when they suddenly disappeared. They had this device that meant you could hear the ghosts and it picked up some voices, screaming and shouting for help. There is another nearby road where another unexplained happening has been reported, this time a little less worrying as people are not slamming on their brakes but there is a phantom hitch-hiker near the Lower Bell public house on the same road, the mysterious entity spends a ride towards Maidstone putting the worlds to right with their drive before vanishing right out of the seat. He said: “I do believe ghosts exist due to some deep inner level of the human psyche, rather than mere spirits of the dead. The story often extends to account that the driver continued to their ghostly passenger’s destination out of curiosity and are greeted by the spectre’s family members, who tearfully state that their child was killed in a car accident on the very same stretch of road the driver was traversing when he was greeted by the tragic spirit and that they have had people misled by their child’s shadow for decades.

The spooky spot had people speculating that it could be the A229's famous ghost, which has been known to fling itself in front of vehicles. A stretch of dual carriageway between Maidstone and Rochester, in Kent, has been the site of numerous ghostly sightings over the years. There were a lot of people who didn't want me to make the film because they were worried something would happen to me.

The stretch between Carrutherstown and Annan has been the site of plenty of paranormal activity and ghost hunting. Other motorists have reported hitting a woman wearing a red scarf near the Robin Hood junction, who stares intently at the driver before disappearing under the bonnet. Coach driver Ian Sharpe, 56, saw the ghost only just over a week before the anniversary of the car crash. In December 2002, Surrey Police investigated reports of a car seen swerving off the A3 near Burpham. I used to live in Kits Coty, was heading into Maidstone one night, so driving down the slip road from the footbridge down to rejoin bluebell hill Maidstone bound.

Later the driver decides to go to the address given to him and inquire about the strange girl, but after giving a description of his passenger he learns that although she did indeed once live at the house, the girl had died in a car crash months or even years before.

The section of the A229 you mention, near the petrol station, is indeed at the centre of things as far as reported sightings are concerned.
