The terrifying tale of the Blue Bell Hill Bride and how she The terrifying tale of the Blue Bell Hill Bride and how she

The B3212 is home to the ‘hairy hands of Dartmoor’ myth - in which motorists describe how a disembodied pair of mitts grabs their steering wheel and tries to run them off the road.

In 1934 a young woman called Renee was riding home along Blue Bell Hill on a gloomy autumn's evening. The A229 dual carriageway follows the route of a former Roman road and climbs the hill, today linking the M2 and M20 motorways. High Speed 1 runs beneath the hill, via the North Downs Tunnel, and archaeological work in advance of it uncovered a Neolithic long house on its slopes. The Bluebell Hill transmitting station is on the hill, [6] as is the Lower Bell pub. [7] The Upper Bell pub was closed around March 2005 due to the reduced demand caused by the closure of a slip-lane onto the southbound A229, and then demolished in 2013.

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. Nevertheless, the police returned with him to the scene, and sure enough, the search proved fruitless. Ian Sharpe later described it as the most terrifying experience of his life.

But perhaps most notoriously, Blue Bell Hill, a main road which runs between Maidstone and Medway, is one of Kent's spookiest locations. The gruesome discovery led to speculation that the ghostly sighting had been a reenactment to the crash which killed him. The Press jumped to the assumption that the girl must have been a ghost. Their research about the incident in 1965 and the legend of the hitch-hiking ghost resulted in the conclusion that the girl must have been a ghost. The fact that it was a girl, her appearance in the vicinity of the 1965 crash, her vanishing after the incident, and the fact Goodenough’s car wasn’t damaged, all point to this conclusion. “Ghost Girl Seen Again”– A Headline from 1992 The road itself has been surrounded by mystery for decades, with more than 50 reported supernatural sightings in the area. Real life wolves roamed the wooded farmland of the East Riding of Yorkshire up until the 15th century, when they were hunted to extinction, but werewolf sightings have since been reported in the area.I can always tell when someone's pulling your leg, but from looking at that footage they were absolutely terrified, the person was genuinely scared.

Phil Sinclair went in search of spirits at the Bypass and claims he saw a spooky figure that may have been the monk Credit: Phil Sinclair's Paranormal Investigations/Youtube On the 50th anniversary of the crash, a number of spiritual believers gathered at the nearby Lower Bell pub in the hope of seeing the Bride of Blue Bell Hill but she failed to appear. Ratcliffe, Derek, ed. (1977). A Nature Conservation Review. Vol.2. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press. p.118. ISBN 0521 21403 3. With all this history, it is hardly surprising that there has been paranormal activity within the pub. Some of the spirits are that are claimed to haunt the pub include mischievous children moving toys and objects; an elderly couple that sit in the corner of the bar, make friends with living customers but disappear in an instant and a ghostly man in boots that stops up the cellar stairs, just to name a few. A famous feature of the hill is the eastern group of the prehistoric tombs called the Medway megaliths including Kit's Coty House and Countless Stones.It should be noted that, while car accidents have happened on this stretch...none has ever *quite* matched up with the story. Although some proposed victims have arisen, like our Resurrection Mary, the Blue Bell Hill Ghost’s true personhood remains a mystery. Ghosts have often been spotted on the road but hadn't been for quite some time - more than 20 years ago in fact.
