The Phantom Number 7 Bus: London’s Haunted Highway Mystery | True Paranormal Stories

from The Whispering Woods : Real Life Ghost & Paranormal Stories

In 1930s North Kensington, a deadly crash at “Death Corner” sparks tales of a ghostly Number 7 double-decker bus that appears out of nowhere on foggy nights. Witnesses describe a driverless red bus with blinding lights forcing cars off the road – and vanishing without a trace. This narrative follows the true legend of London’s phantom bus, from its first reported sightings and the ensuing panic, through the efforts to debunk and explain it, and its lasting status as one of the capital’s eeriest urban legends.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESources:https://londonist.com/2016/10/londons-phantom-double-decker-bushttps://www.spookyisles.com/the-ghost-bus-of-ladbroke-grove/https://www.indyrs.co.uk/2007/06/the-phantom-bus-of-ladbroke-grove/https://archive.org/stream/GraphicHorror/MammothBookOfTrueHauntings_djvu.txthttps://www.spookyisles.com/the-phantom-london-bus-unravelling-an-urban-legend/Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/;;;SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
