A GATHERING SPOT FOR GHOSTS,CROYDON AIRPORT,SURREY,ENGLAND |
| Ghosts seem to gravitate to the control tower at the Croydon Airport, just outside London in Surrey. The hauntings began in the 1930s, when a Dutch pilot was killed when his plane crashed taking off in dense fog. Now he warns pilots of approaching foggy conditions by appearing to them as they file their flight plans in the control tower. In the 1960s, after a house was built on the spot in the western portion of the airfield in which his plane crashed, the dead pilot bgan appearing to the new owners. The private residence in the Roundshaw Estate became internationally famous for its haunting and was investigated by the British Society for Psychical Research. The ghosts of three nuns who were burned alive in a plane crash at the airport during a blizzard in January 1947 have also been reported, as well as a ghostly wartime pilot on a motorcycle on nearby Foresters Drive. People at the airport also report hearing singing coming from off in the distance where a perfume factory used to stand.More than sixty people died when the factory was bombed during World war II.To allay their fears during the bombing, the workers began singing. According to psychics who have visited Croydon Airport, the facility sits on a vortex of energy that is connected to the other side.International Directory of Haunted Places,p.29. |
