As we approach Halloween and the spookiest time of year, you might enjoy hearing local tales of ghost sightings, haunted buildings and general spooky goings on.
Whether you’ve heard them before or the tales are new, October is always full of “spooky” stories to lead up to Halloween.
Many of us will have heard the rumours of the haunted M6, but where do they come from, and is it true?
Is the M6 haunted?
The M6 is the longest motorway in the UK, at 231 miles, most of us will have at least driven a small portion of it.
The story of the haunted M6 comes from its nickname, the Bermuda Triangle, particularly referencing junctions 16-19.
The original Bermuda Triangle is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean in which ships, planes, and people have allegedly vanished under mysterious circumstances.
According to Goodbye Car, despite sections of the M6 being fairly new, other parts have been around for nearly 2000 years.
What we now know as the M6, used to be travelled across by the Romans years before the layers of concrete were added.
Goodbye Cars says that to this day, drivers still see soldiers marching across the road…
But that’s not all.
It added: “Junctions 16-19 are particularly accident prone, leading to more tormented souls being seen, such as hitchhikers that vanish into the night and eyes that have been spotted watching passers-by from the bushes.”
Drivers throughout the years have spotted vanishing lorries, soldiers and other "paranormal" activities, but is it truly haunted? Who knows for certain...
