Haunting Bromley - Chatterton Road Ghosts Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Southerntrekker: Hi There

As the owner has not responded to either my log or my colleague's previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Please note that once the cache has been archived, this can not be undone. This is explained in the Help Center - http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

You will need to create a new listing, put it back in for review and as long as it meets today's guidelines and no other caches have been published in the area causing a proximity problem, then it will be published.

Regards

Chatterton Roads Ghosts in Uniform


Could the reason for the number of reported apparitions on Chatterton Road have to do with its relative close proximity to Biggin Hill Airport which was used as a military base in WWII. Were there men stationed here that served at Biggin Hill? Regardless of the reason, the number of reports soon start to stack up and almost demand attention.

A local website featured the following reports linked to Chatterton Road;

"In the late 1980's I lived on Chatterton Road and saw a man dressed in a blue military uniform from my rented room that overlooked the street. His shoes made no sound on the pavement. Some weeks later I overheard a patron of the Chatterton Arms talking about the ghost of a serviceman often seen in the street. The description matched the man I saw exactly. Peter from Malaga"

"I was shop fitting in Chatterton Road about six years ago, one of the lads I was working with was certain he saw a ghost in a RAF uniform very late on a Thursday evening. We did rip it out of him but he stuck to his story. John W, Battle

"I saw something in Bromley in 1996, I was walking in Chatterton Road. I had been out for a meal with two friends, I had very little to drink and it was a clear March night. I saw a man dressed in a Navy Blue uniform walk towards us on the street, the person didn't seem to look at us at all and when he passed by but I felt very uncomfortable. I was so uneasy I turned my head around as soon as we had passed but he had gone, I was spooked and made my friends stop and look around, they were in conversation and took no notice when he passed us by but they had seen him. I got my leg pulled and I dropped the subject. I know what I saw and the man disappeared into thin air, I wonder could this be linked to The Biggin Hill ghosts, it must only be a few miles from Chatterton Road to Biggin Hill. I never saw anything like this again."

Cache is magnetic, please replace as found.
