The phantom hitch-hiking airman of RAF Wickenby

Secret Lincolnshire

Available for over a year

RAF Wickenby was one of dozens of Lincolnshire air stations which were home to squadrons of Lancaster bombers during World War II - and like many similar sites, spooky events have been reported ever since. It's claimed a ghostly hitch-hiking airman has been seen on a nearby road, while the ghost of a Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) radio operator haunts the control tower.
