I've been interested in ghosts and things that go 'Bump in the Night' but it's best to keep an open mind on these matters as a lot of unexpected things do happen between the space of 'Heaven and Earth'.
But you don't expect seeing something so Gigantic and Powerful that it could carry with ease the weight of a Jumbo Elephant.

Just a few short years ago a friend of mine who'd been a Desert Rat in Field Marshal Montgomery's Eighth Army during World War Two was having a holiday with his wife staying with his brother and Sister-in-law in Hull. His brother decided to take them all out in the car for a days shopping and sight seeing at York.

On their return journey back to Hull unknown to any of them they passed an old wartime Airodrome in North Yorkshire at a place called Elvington which had been a wartime Bomber base.

My friend along with his wife were sat in the back seats of the car, his brother was driving with his wife in the passenger seat next to him.
Flying at hedge hight along side of the car was a four engined war time bomber and as my friends wife had been in the womens section of the A.T.C. he said "Righto clever clogs what type of an Aircraft is that"?. She replied "I'd have thought everyone would have known that it's a Lancaster Bomber". With it being so close to the car it never dawned on either of them at the time that they couldn't hear any noise from it's engines.
The pilot waved to them then flew on, then crossed over the main road just ahead of the car. My friend said to his brother "Did you see that"? From the front seats came no reply.

When they arrived back home at Hull my friends sister-in-law said, "We didn't like to say anything in the car as we hadn't seen the plane but on our local radio station a number of people at different times had phoned in about this low flying W.W.II Bomber which the R.A.F. know nothing about or of it being recorded on Radar.

It was only when my friend and his wife got back to their own home did she remember that at one time in her mothers home during the war they had taken in a teeneger evaquee who when he became of age joined the Royal Air Force and became a Pilot but was killed on a bombing raid during WW2. Was it possible that the pilot in the ghost Lancaster Bomber who'd waved was him?.

This is a true story.
