Belfast road named most haunted in UK ‒ numerous ghostly sightings
The capital of Northern Ireland took the title as the home of the most haunted road in the UK, with numerous paranormal sightings recorded in the area.
The road in question is the Old Malone Road in County Antrim, just on the outskirts of Belfast. The entrance to Lady Dixon Park, one of the most popular parks in the city, is here. So, many visitors have reported unexplained sightings of a mother and baby who quickly disappear.
QuoteZone writes, “At the entrance to Lady Dixon Park, there have been many reports of a woman holding a baby jumping out in front of cars. “But when the drivers stop and get out, there is no one to be seen.
“Legend has it that the woman drowned herself and her baby in the nearby lake. She now haunts the park entrance, still carrying her baby in her arms.” Creepy stuff!
