Product Information

From the famed Pluckley - which has been known as the most haunted village in England - to the ghost of Rochester Castle, there's many a tale to tell. It has made a name for itself as one of the most famous haunted spots in Kent, with many motorists claiming they have seen a young bride waiting by the roadside. She just ran straight in front of the car and I hit her on her left side…she was looking at me all the time. As pictures emerged of the carnage that had erupted during a sudden downpour of snow at around 5pm, one in particular caught the eye of drivers and readers alike.

Hinks claimed Emily was choked to death because a piece torn from an undergarment was found in the mouth of the skull. An enquiry found that the bridge, opened just a year before, had construction flaws and was unable to cope with high winds. Even though Blue Bell Hill when viewed from the correct perspective is very picturesque it does lie next to the busy M2 motorway and the A229 dual carriage way. It’s a far cry from the lush landscapes of Wiltshire and its camera-friendly ancient sites; more JG Ballard than Arthur Machen. The 22-year-old was killed with two friends in a road traffic accident near the bridge over the Old Chatham Road the day before she was due to get married on on November 19 of that year.The group suddenly lost control of their Ford Focus, which swerved and was rammed into by an incoming Jaguar. The area has an immense feeling of tragedy and pain and there is obviously the numerous occurrences of drivers picking up a young woman only for them to disappear in the car.

Mostly, however, the ghosts of Bluebell Hill have provided a timely lifeline for generations of local journalists on a slow news day. He also speculated that we may anticipate more activity with the construction of the Channel Tunnel rail link in the area.Goodenough was interviewed by the News of the World that Saturday night and was still shaken and adamant that he had hit a girl. One Sunday evening in November, it was late when Ian Sharpe, a 54-year-old coach driver, was on his way home to Maidstone when a young woman appeared directly in front of his vehicle near the Aylesford southbound turn-off of the A229 at Blue Bell Hill. The reports began in 1968, and usually involved a young girl (possibly a bride to be or a bridesmaid who was killed at the foot of the hill in 1965), flagging down cars and asking for a lift. You never know, you may just be one of those drivers who encounters the chilling spectre, who over the years, has become known as the Ghost of Blue Bell Hill. It’s no secret that England is considered an old historical place and has a fair share of ghost stories, from headless horsemen to the ghosts of animals on the moors and Sussex, England may be subject to a road with an interesting haunting but also a potentially dangerous one.
