‘Ghost girl’ is blamed for spate of crashes

The ghostly apparition of a girl is being blamed for a series of crashes on a stretch of country road. Spooky sightings of a girl aged about five, in Victorian dress, on a road in the West Midlands are now being investigated by paranormal researchers. The late-night 'visions' are occurring along Oldnall Road in Halesowen, near Birmingham, and are believed to have been responsible for a number of crashes and near-misses in the area in recent years. David Taylor, chairman of the 'Parasearch' group which has been investigating the claims, said he had not found a rational explanation so far. He added: 'Although the people who have reported the sightings didn't actually crash, they were close to it because they had to swerve around the apparition and up on to the pavement. 'It could be an optical illusion of some sort. 'The area around there is an accident blackspot and there have been some serious incidents, so maybe they had all seen the same thing.' Mr Taylor has been investigating claims of paranormal activity for 22 years. He said: 'Most of the time there is a logical explanation but, so far, I haven't found one for this case.' Resident Jimmy Lahn, 54, said: 'We've had quite a few accidents on that road.

I wouldn't be surprised if this ghostly figure has something to do with it. It is seen as a bit of an accident blackspot around these parts – and maybe now we know why.' A West Midlands Police spokesman said the most recent incidents included a crash involving a motorbike and a car in November while last July a woman was taken to hospital after a collision on the same stretch.

For more than 25 years he has been investigating reported paranormal phenomena and parapsychology. In an interesting example of a documented apparition he talks about a woman associated with a restaurant who has appeared thousands of miles away at activities related to the restaurant.

it worrys me the growing number of people that believe this shit! how can he say at 1:08 that everyone of these psychics are speaking the truth!? no psychic has ever proved what theyve done is true! every study ever done shows theyre no more accurate than cold reading(if you dont know what this is look for derren brown) in the 70's very few people believed in this stuff compared to now. i cant help thinking this is a step back for the human species.


Leo- No studies eh? how about cross correspondences, the proxy sittings, the book tests and the newspaper tests. He does not mention them because he has done no research.
