The Handcross Road Ghost. (B2114)

My father and Mother had completed a shopping trip to County Mall in Crawley and were returning late about 5-30pm on a Thursday Night. They had enjoyed the day, and the Car Boat, was filled with Clothes and various parcels. They took the M23, and had joined the A23, before finally coming off the Motorway at Handcross. By then it was a cold Crisp November evening and there was no Clouds in the sky, and The Country Road the B2114 went through the village of Handcross and travelled to Staplefield.
They were driving fast, and there was not much Traffic on the Road. They had followed the twisty narrow bending Road, and there Car was the only one on it, as they headed of the Village of Staplefield travelling onwards to Cuckfield. My Mother said she wasn’t thinking much about anything at the time, and my father concentrated on the Road, always remained a careful driver.
According to my mother’s testimony, my father had to suddenly slam on The breaks, as out of Gap between the Hedgerow on the Left, and a low wall, they both saw the shadow of what my mother claims was the Ghost of a young Victorian woman, in A Black Victorian Dress, and Long Boots, with Laces shoot out and cross in front of the Car, gliding above the Road surface. She knows that she was from the Victorian era, has her Head, was covered by a Black large Cloak which was lined Red and descended to form a Coat. If any of you have seen the advert it would be similar to the one the Model wears in The Scottish Widows Advert which edged with White Lace, which was running down the sides.
It was over in incident as the Ghost disappeared through a low Hedge on the other side, and presumably dematerialised. When they both collected their wits together they resumed the Journey and they looked into the Hedge and surrounding fields, and of no one was there that they could have mistaken for the Ghost.
