The A38 - Haunted History

Bristol, Bristol

Ghostly hitchhikers have been well documented over the years and Bristol too has its own spooky roadside ghost. The woman in white haunts a stretch of the A38 south-west of Bristol near the reservoir at Barrow Gurney.

Many drivers have reported having to slam on their brakes or swerve to avoid the figure who suddenly appears in the middle of the road in front of them before vanishing again.

The road in this area is now scared with many skid marks which show where other drivers have also stopped suddenly braked to avoid hitting a phantom woman dressed in a white coat.
