A6 Murder

James Hanratty was a professional car thief, convicted of the murder of Michael Gregsten at Deadman's Hill on the A6, near the village of Clophill[1], Bedfordshire, England, on August 22, 1961. Gregsten's companion Valerie Storie was also raped and shot non-fatally during the incident. Charges on these additional crimes were "kept in reserve", but did not form part of the charges on which James Hanratty was tried and convicted

Clophill Church

St Marys Church, Clophill, now abandoned Church, is estimated to be up to 400 years old, but was replaced by a Victorian church built in 1848 in the center of the Village.

The Clophill church has got a long mud track leading up to it, and on numerous occassions when people have been walking and driving up there, they have "supposedly" seen a faint light of some sort following them up the hill, but as soon as they have reached the ruins of the church it disapears.

It is also known that on the night of hallowen many people gather at the church ruins, most of the people thought to be ghost hunters hopeing to catch sight of a ghost. A manufactured image of a ghostly woman ascending a staircase. ...
