The Ghost of Ann at Luton

Cock and Bull Public House, Luton

The Cock and Bull Public House in Luton is home to a rather intriguing ghost story. A white figure, believed to be the spirit of Ann, has been spotted within the pub's walls. According to reports, Ann was murdered at the pub a long time ago, but the exact date of her tragic death has been lost to history. What's fascinating about Ann's ghost is that she seems to interact with visitors who are unaware they're chatting with a phantom. Her appearances are often accompanied by conversations that are as natural as they are unsettling.

Black Tom

Junction of Tavistock Street, Union Street and Clapham Road , Bedford

At the busy junction of Tavistock Street, Union Street, and Clapham Road in Bedford, a gruesome ghostly figure has been spotted numerous times over the years. This is the location where Black Tom, a notorious nineteenth-century highwayman, was executed and buried with a stake driven through his heart to prevent his return. However, it seems this ritual had little effect, as both Black Tom and another unknown ghost have been seen countless times, particularly around Christmas. One witness in the 1960s reported seeing a gruesome figure with a broken neck staggering down the road in broad daylight, vanishing into thin air seconds later.

The Blue Man of Studham

Studham Common, Studham

Studham Common in Bedfordshire is home to a rather bizarre and unexplained sighting that has left many questions unanswered. Back in 1967, seven boys were lucky enough to witness a strange apparition - a short, bearded figure clad in a tall hat. What makes this sighting all the more peculiar is that the figure seemingly vanished into a strange yellow mist. The boys must have been left scratching their heads, wondering if they had just imagined the whole thing.

Brainy Dobbs Haunting

RAF Henlow, Bedford

RAF Henlow in Bedford has a reputation for being one of the most haunted locations in the UK. It's said that a cold wind can push you back and that rooms can be trashed by a mischievous presence. One witness experienced this firsthand when he was hit by a cold wind as he returned to the barracks. His room was in disarray, but when he called the police, they didn't believe him. It wasn't until an officer shared the history of the base that the witness began to understand what had happened.

Dunstable Ghostly Apparition

White Swan Public House, Dunstable

The White Swan Public House in Dunstable has been the site of some rather puzzling paranormal activity. Staff monitoring the security cameras have reported seeing a figure walk across the bar, even though the area is empty. It seems that whatever is causing this apparition, it's not being picked up on video tape, which has failed to record these occurrences. The fact that it's been observed by multiple staff members suggests that this might be more than just a one-off anomaly.

The Ghostly Cat of The Square Public House

The Square Public House, Bedford

The Square Public House in Bedford has a rather unusual resident - a ghostly cat. Staff at the pub have reported strange sightings, including one member of staff who claimed to have seen the feline apparition in his bedroom. The cat is said to have been known as the Bullnosed Bat, although it's unclear how this nickname relates to its ghostly form. While there's no record of when the sighting occurred, it's clear that this paranormal presence has left a lasting impression on those who work at the pub.
