"'I have never met anybody who has seen the bus, but the version I heard was that on certain nights, long after the regular bus service has stopped, people have been awakened by the roar of a bus coming down the street.'

When they have gone to their windows, they have seen a brilliantly lighted double-decker bus approaching with neither driver nor passengers.

According to this story, the bus goes careening to the corner of Cambridge Gardens and St.

Mark's Road and then vanishes.

A number of accidents have happened at this corner, and it has been suggested that the phantom bus has been the cause.

By the time the inquest ended, countless people had come forward with their own stories about the phantom bus.

And Mr. Pink?

Well, he was found innocent.

So what exactly was going on here?

Was there really an evil ghost bus cannonballing through the streets of London, mowing people down?

Or was something else at play?

Perhaps a clue can be found in a tiny 13-line article published just a few months later, in December of 1934.

Well, it's less of an article and more of a complaint sent in by Councillor W. Jarrett.

Ladbroke Grove is a very busy road with two bus services, he wrote, yet the committee have selected the very worst lighting for this thoroughfare.

Other roads with no buses are to have much better illumination.

At the end of the day, I'll let you be the judge.

Otherworldly automobile or simply a case of poor city planning resulting in too many fatal accidents.

Accidents that left a grieving community begging for an answer grand enough to fit the loved ones they lost.

Just a stone's throw from our nation's capital.

In Fairfax, Virginia, there is a small, nondescript one-lane tunnel on Colchester Road.
