Blue Bell Hill

This well_researched story is taken from The Evidence for Phantom Hitchhikers. In the early hours of 13 July 1974, Maurice Goodenough was driving home to Chatham when a figure suddenly appeared in front of his car. She appeared to be a young girl, about ten years old, wearing a white blouse, skirt and white ankle socks. Mr Goodenough stamped on the brakes but he could not avoid hitting her, and the car struck her with sickening force. Mr Goodenough brought the car to a skidding halt and rushed back to the small girl. He found her bat tered and bleeding at the side of the road. She looked a lot better than he had feared, but aware that in such a state it might be dangerous to move her, he grabbed a blanket from his car and tenderly wrapped her in it before going to get help.

He went to the police station in nearby Rochester, and police offi— cers came back with him to the spot where he had left the girl. They found the spot, marked by a now empty blanket, but although they searched long and hard they could find no sign of her. A tracker dog was called in but could not get a scent. Maybe another motorist had picked her up, but if he did so, he did not take her to one of the local hospitals as there were no matching accident admissions that night The police were obviously convinced of Mr Goodenough’S sincerity but apparently got a little suspicious at that point because they in spected Mr Goodenough’s car, only to find no sign of damage. Had the whole thing been the product of a tired mind playing tricks on a lonely road in the middle of the night? One fact is not in dispute: Mr Goodenough is not the only one to have experienced strange appearances of young women on Blue Bell Hill, although his is the most well_documented case.
