The Phantom Hearse | Death Coaches, Corpse Roads and Funerals from the Future

from The Whispering Woods : Real Life Ghost & Paranormal Stories

Across Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany and beyond, people have long told stories of ghostly hearses, black coaches and funeral processions seen before a death has happened. Sometimes the sound of wheels is heard on an empty road, sometimes mourners pass silently along an old church path, and sometimes a hearse appears in a mirror before vanishing without trace.
