| Platt Lane |
The UK Telegraph and Argus news ran a series about the United Kingdom's most haunted highways, and in this blog you'll learn about a few of them and their resident ghosts. This is the 3rd of several blogs about the UK Highways (By Will Kilner)!
7. Platt Lane, Lancashire
This road in Westhoughton runs close to the site of the 1910 Pretoria pit tragedy, which killed 344 miners. Many motorists have reported seeing spooky eyes peering out of the hedges by the roadside, and phantom miners plodding alongside cars or pulling coal wagons behind them.

| A636 "Sally in the Woods" |
One particular stretch of the A636 – dubbed ‘Sally in the Woods’ – is supposed to be the site of the tragic death of a young girl who was hit by a car and killed when she ran out into the road.
Motorists have reported numerous sightings, and as many as seven fatal accidents in the area have been left with no logical explanation for their cause - leading many to think they are the result of paranormal intervention.

| B1249 |
9. B1249 between Driffield and Staxton Hill, East Riding of Yorkshire
Real life wolves roamed the wooded farmland of the East Riding of Yorkshire up until the 15th century, when they were hunted to extinction, so the number of reported werewolf sightings here may not come as much of a surprise.
In the 1960s, author Charles Christian described how a lorry driver was left terrified when a red-eyed, hairy creature tried to smash its way through his windscreen as he drove along the isolated road.
Then in August 2016, a young woman described seeing a monster which looked "like a big dog, ¬probably bigger than my car, but it had a human face" in the nearby village of Halsham.
