Caterham ghost
BrianE
My police officer daughter is convinced she saw a young girl, straggly
hair, dress, wellies, on some steps by the A22 Caterham bypass at around
3am the other morning.
Anyone shed light on this, I know there's a bit to be found on Google..

Probably one of the illegal immigrants camping out in the local woods. I
had a quick look on google too but there's not much about it, although it
does seem that several people have had similar sightings of this girl in the
past.
What always cracks me up is when you get quotes like this, taken from that
article ... "On one occasion a driver was working outside his van and when
he got into his vehicle he was positive there was someone sitting beside
him. But when he looked, there was no-one there." I was half expecting the
article to go and say ... and the really spooky thing is, there was no-one
there the next day either!

I know Brian. I'm just another victim of the government's recynicaling
policy.
Nicola McCormack
caterham bypass and saw a young woman standing at the bottom of the
staircase.
ive heard stories about a ghostly lady is seen there but never actually
believed it.
it was about 1.30am, we believe she was wearing some sort of boots and maybe
a skirt or dress with blonde hair. we thought that she couldn't be a ghost
but was then trying to work out why anyone would be there by themselves at
that time of the mornong in clothes that were obviously not suitable for the
weather condition as it was freezing outside!
could it have been the ghostly lady???
can anyone shed anymore light on this??

What you saw was Chrith Hill trawling for pickups whilst on a visit to
Surrey to visit JF. It is a good job you did not stop, for hiding at the
side of the road was his paramour, Nelly Barker. These two often used to
meat up in the rolling Derby hills and I suspect they fancied a change of
scenery.

As I said before, my daughter (a PC) saw her as did a van driver who
alerted them to it!

As opposed to being a dumb fuckwit who is unable to attribute quotes
correctly. Wot I actually said was:
What you saw was Chrith Hill trawling for pickups whilst on a visit to
Surrey to visit JF. It is a good job you did not stop, for hiding at the
side of the road was his paramour, Nelly Barker. These two often used to

From your angry reply I guess Chrith must have been visiting JAF and not JF.
Don't worry, nancyboi, your sekrit is safe with me.

Blimey! This is just about the first time I've seen someone write more
than a word or two correctly in the language of the WOCABs, and, to
boot; "d'antan" is somewhat 'recherché'. Well done sir.

That made me dig a bit. I'm not into French poetry, my command of the
language isn't good enough (though come to that I'm not really into
English poetry either, and no snide comments please) but that phrase
about "the snows of yesteryear" rang a bell.
Recherché? 1461? and it's
"Mais où sont les neiges d'antan!"

It's not especially recherche' for any UK male my age, because it featured in the film The Longest
Day. "Ou sont les neiges d'antan" was a code signal broadcast by the BBC in the run-up to D Day.
Another was "The long sobs of the violins"

Goodness, the education of the WOCABs must be seriously lacking then.

Just before Christmas I stopped to get some diesel at a garage just of the
A22 at Godstone, there was a Caterham 7 there being demonstrated by one of
the salesmen. It took him about 10 minutes to teach the prospective buyer
how to climb into it, it was pouring with rain & the hood was up.
