About this episode
In this episode, Nat explores ghostly encounters on UK roads, focusing on listener-shared stories linked to foggy weather and a Victorian asylum.
The UK's roads seem to be filled with ghostly encounters and urban legends from phantom hitchhikers to timeslips. In this episode Nat examines two road ghost encounters shared by listeners. These two road ghosts have a link with foggy weather. Is fog the most paranormal of all weather conditions? Nat also explores a miraculous healing which was said to have been performed by a ghost who manifested in a cloud of steam like mist. The village of Arlesey links two of these ghosts and the other was encountered near Biggleswade. Why are there so many ghostly encounters on our roads? Nat explores this along with the history of the Three Counties Asylum, a Victorian mental health facility which is linked with one of the road ghost encounters. Thanks to listeners Ann and Julie for sharing their experiences.
