'Haunted' Conington North level crossing worries staff

Staff at a level crossing where multiple people died in a single year claimed to have seen "phantom" cars and heard strange noises.

A BBC report from September 1973 featured the accounts of workers who manned the Conington North level crossing near Peterborough.

One said: "The first thing I saw was a car at the other side of the crossing and when I went to let it over, it was gone."

It was the site of two accidents in 1948 in which vehicles were hit by cars, killing a former mayor of Peterborough and six German prisoners of war.
