Loch Awe road is one of Britain’s spookiest

A route which runs along the side of Loch Awe has made it onto a list of the UK’s spookiest roads.

The list has been compiled by Select Car Leasing, whose director Mark Tongue said: ‘The vast majority of UK motorists take to the road without incident. Indeed, the scariest thing you’re likely to encounter are the gaping potholes hell-bent on scuppering your suspension.

‘But, if these reports are to be believed, there really could be something lurking just around the next bend. And it’s not just ghosts that get reported, either. With eyewitness encounters involving UFOs, shape-shifting animals and even the UK’s equivalent of Sasquatch, Britain’s paranormal experiences are almost as varied as our taste in cars.’

Picturesque Loch Awe is 28 miles in length and a fisherman’s dream.

But it is also home to reports of a mysterious ghost car that terrifies motorists on the road which weaves its way around the loch.

Locals Len and Mandy Ross recently reported their encounter on the Ghost and Hauntings UK website.

Mandy said: ‘We were on our way to Oban to get some supplies when we saw a car coming towards us. We took our eyes off for five seconds … but nothing went past.

It could not have passed us in this space of time. We would have heard it. The window was open. It had nowhere to go!

‘There were no turn off from this part of the road and absolutely no way for it to pass us without us seeing it.’
