Most haunted highways in UK : Part 3: Platt Lane, Sally in the Woods, B1249

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"
8. The A636, Wiltshire
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.

Book Review I Like 5 of 5 Stars: Pets and the Afterlife- Great book for the grief stricken

Book reviews mean a lot to authors on AmazonCom and it's encouraging to find people who are moved by your writings, inspired or have learned something. Here's a book review that was just posted on my books "Pets and the Afterlife" and "Pets and the Afterlife 2.."

 Great book for the grief stricken January 13, 2020
I liked this book a lot. It really helped me think of my kitty who passed in a more positive way, knowing she is in the afterlife veil and is still with me. It brings great comfort. I know she will return to me one day in a new kitty body!

Watch for something BIG coming... in a ghostly way

A Hauntingly good announcement is coming up over the next week or two... and here's clue!
www.robgutro.com


FYI - COVID19 Info: Caring for Someone at Home, Prevention, Symptoms

In today's blog you'll see the CDC's guidelines for caring for someone at home (and when they can finally leave isolation-it's quite a while). Also, BBC News provided a great visual checklist about what you should do to prevent getting COVID19 and the SYMPTOMS. Finally, there is an idea of how long social distancing and sheltering should last in the U.S.  Read on.

SIDE NOTE- Answer to your Question - "HOW LONG WILL THE SHELTERING ACTIONS LAST? - As of March 24, 2020: It lasted a MONTH in This area of China: CHINA TO END MONTHS-LONG HUBEI LOCKDOWN Chinese authorities announced they would end a two-month lockdown of most of virus-hit Hubei province at midnight. People with a clean bill of health will be allowed to leave. The city of Wuhan, where the outbreak started in late December, will remain locked down until April 8. Hubei has seen almost no new infections for more than a week.

  STOP MEETING OTHERS, ASAP. Young and old have died!  Stay at least 6 ft away from others. Don't ride crowded buses, subways, etc. Don't crowd in grocery stores, and certainly don't hoard. We need to be respectful of others. 
**************************************************
Caring for someone at home

Most people who get sick with COVID-19 will have only mild illness and should recover at home.* Care at home can help stop the spread of COVID-19 and help protect people who are at risk for getting seriously ill from COVID-19. If you are caring for someone at home, monitor for emergency signsprevent the spread of germstreat symptoms, and carefully consider when to end home isolation.
*Note: Older adults and people of any age with certain serious underlying medical conditions like lung disease, heart disease, or diabetes are at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness and should seek care as soon as symptoms start.

Monitor the person for worsening symptoms. Know the emergency warning signs.

  • Have their healthcare provider’s contact information on hand.
  • If they are getting sicker, call their healthcare provider. For medical emergencies, call 911 and notify the dispatch personnel that they have or are suspected to have COVID-19.
If you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19 get medical attention immediately. Emergency warning signs include*:
Trouble breathing Persistent pain or pressure in the chest New confusion or inability to arouse Bluish lips or face *This list is not all inclusive. Please consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning.

Prevent the spread of germs when caring for someone who is sick

  • Have the person stay in one room, away from other people, including yourself, as much as possible.
    • If possible, have them use a separate bathroom.
    • Avoid sharing personal household items, like dishes, towels, and bedding
    • If facemasks are available, have them wear a facemask when they are around people, including you.
    • It the sick person can’t wear a facemask, you should wear one while in the same room with them, if facemasks are available.
    • If the sick person needs to be around others (within the home, in a vehicle, or doctor’s office), they should wear a facemask.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after interacting with the sick person. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Every day, clean all surfaces that are touched often, like counters, tabletops, and doorknobs
    • Use household cleaning sprays or wipes according to the label instructions.
  • Wash laundry thoroughly.
    • If laundry is soiled, wear disposable gloves and keep the soiled items away from your body while laundering. Wash your hands immediately after removing gloves.
  • Avoid having any unnecessary visitors.
  • For any additional questions about their care, contact their healthcare provider or state or local health department.

Provide symptom treatment

  • Make sure the sick person drinks a lot of fluids to stay hydrated and rests at home.
  • Over-the-counter medicines may help with symptoms.
  • For most people, symptoms last a few days and get better after a week.

When to end home isolation (staying home)

  • People with COVID-19 who have stayed home (are home isolated) can stop home isolation under the following conditions:
    • If they will not have a test to determine if they are still contagious, they can leave home after these three things have happened:
      • They have had no fever for at least 72 hours (that is three full days of no fever without the use medicine that reduces fevers)
        AND  other symptoms have improved (for example, when their cough or shortness of breath have improved)
      • AND at least 7 days have passed since their symptoms first appeared
    • If they will be tested to determine if they are still contagious, they can leave home after these three things have happened: 
      • They no longer have a fever (without the use medicine that reduces fevers)
        AND other symptoms have improved (for example, when their cough or shortness of breath have improved)
      • ANDThey received two negative tests in a row, 24 hours apart. Their doctor will follow CDC guidelines.
      • BBC News 18 March 2020
    • Related Topi
      Three images giving government advice: Wash your hands, Use a tissue for coughs, avoid touching your face

      How can I try to stay well?
        **WASH HANDS WITH HOT WATER, OR USE A GEL SANTIZER FOR 20 SECONDS
        **EVEN WITHOUT SYMPTOMS - WORK AT HOME, AVOID SOCIAL VENUES
        **USE A TISSUE FOR COUGHS
        **IF NO TISSUE- COUGH IN YOUR SLEEVE/ELBOW
        *AVOID TOUCHING EYES, NOSE AND MOUTH WITH UNWASHED HANDS 
        **AVOID CLOSE CONTACT WITH SICK PEOPLE 
        What are the symptoms - and what should I do if I feel unwell?


        If you live with someone who has a new continuous cough or high temperature you should stay at home for 14 days in case symptoms develop


        REMINDER FROM THE CDC:  SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
        The following symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure.Fever • Cough • Shortness of breath
        Seek medical advice if you • Develop symptoms AND Have been in close contact with a person known to have COVID-19 or if you live in or have recently been in an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19
        If you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19 get medical attention immediately. Emergency warning signs include*:
        • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
        • Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
        • New confusion or inability to arouse
        • Bluish lips or face
        DURATION: The effects last about 3 weeks. At 1.5 weeks you will likely experience peak symptoms and then gradually improve until week 3. 
        **STAY AT LEAST 3 TO 6 FEET FROM PEOPLE IN YOUR HOME***
        Presentational white space
        If your symptoms get worse or are no better after seven days seek medical advice
        WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE SICK If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19 and develop a fever and symptoms of respiratory illness, such as cough or difficulty breathing.  THEN ASK THEM WHERE TO GET TESTED

    Most haunted highways in UK : Part 2: The B519, The A666, Old Tay Bridge

    B519 by The Spaniard’s Inn
    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 2nd of several blogs about the UK Highways (By Will Kilner)

    4. The B519 by The Spaniard’s Inn, Hampstead
    A sharp turn in the B519 just before The Spaniard's Inn in Hampstead is said to be haunted by an eighteenth-century highway man.
    The ghost's father allegedly owned the pub for a time, and his ghoulish son still paces the road looking to target passing motorists. 
     
    Devil's Highway

    5. A666, ‘The Devil’s Highway’, Bolton
    If any road was going to be haunted, it was always going to be the A666, which shares its name with The Number of the Beast.
    Several accidents have been caused by sightings of a hunched-over figure limping at the side of the road along the Devil’s Highway. Known simply as the A666 ghost, dashcam footage from 2015 revealed a white creature appear out of nowhere on the deserted road. The video shows the figure slowly approaching a terrified driver while the passenger cries for help. 
     
    The collapse of the Old Tay Railroad bridge

    6. The Old Tay Bridge, Dundee
     A violent storm during the winter of 1879 caused the Old Tay Bridge to collapse while a train was passing over it. The six-carriage train plummeted into the ice-cold waters of the Tay and all 75 passengers on board were tragically killed.
    According to an old legend, on the anniversary of the disaster each year, a phantom train can be seen crossing the old bridge and locals report hearing the screaming cries of the victims.
