Spectere Avenue

I was traveling from Maidstone to Rye with my wife in the early hours of the morning. We had taken the back-route as it seemed to be quicker, but I hadn't noticed we were very low on petrol. Naturally all the petrol stations were closed - no such thing as a 24-hour station this far into the sticks!

We had been on a road that was deserted an straight for about five minutes, when appearing from nowhere, was a 'steamy' apparition that looked for all the world like a cartoon-style ghost. I thought my wife was asleep, so I didn't say anything. In my head I thought 'No effing way!'

As we passed it in the car, it made no natural movement that you might expect of fog or steam, but as soon as I looked int he mirror it was gone. My wife, who had been stunned into silence, asked if I had seen it. Although every instinct in my body is to be skeptical of the super-natural, I had to admit it was difficult to explain, and certainly uncanny.

We now take the main roads!
