It was just outside Blythburgh in Suffolk, England in the 1970s where a truck driver (or lorry driver, as they are known there) had a frightening experience. He was driving north along a narrow stretch of road on route A12. Suddenly, out of nowhere, his headlights illuminated the figures of a horse-drawn cart in which a man rode and besides which a woman walked.
He swerved to avoid hitting them, but it was too late. The banks along the road were high, and there was nowhere for the truck to go. Although he slammed on the brakes, his truck hit the figures hard. The driver was in a panic, thinking he surely must have severely injured or even killed the poor travelers.
He climbed out of his truck and walked back along the road, horrified at what he might find. But there was nothing. No people, no horse, no cart. He searched the entire site, even under his truck, but there was no evidence of anything at all. Yet he was certain of what he saw and was convinced that he had struck something.
The truck driver later learned that the phantom figures with the horse-drawn cart had been seen on other occasions on that very section of road. They are believed to be the ghosts who date back to the 18th century.
