Experts said easily spooked drivers should avoid these roads because panicking could lead to an incident. So here are 10 most haunted UK roads.<\/p>\n

1. Mother and baby \u2013 Old Malone Road, County Antrim<\/h3>\n

At the entrance to Lady Dixon Park, there have been 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.<\/p>\n

The experts said a woman drowned herself and the baby in a nearby lake and now haunts the park entrance still carrying the tot in her arms.<\/p>\n

2. Phantom Miners \u2013 Platt Lane, Lancashire<\/h3>\n

Many motorists reported seeing spooky eyes peering out of the hedges by the roadside and phantom miners plodding alongside cars or pulling coal wagons behind them. <\/p>\n

This road in Westhoughton runs close to the site of the 1910 Pretoria pit tragedy which killed 344 miners.<\/p>\n

3. Werewolves \u2013 East Riding of Yorkshire<\/h3>\n

In the 1960s, author Charles Christian described how a lorry driver was mortified when a red-eyed, hairy creature tried to smash its way through his windscreen as he drove along the isolate road between Driffield and Staxton Hill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then in August 2016, a young woman described seeing a monster which looked "like a big dog, probably bigger than my car, but it had a human face" in the nearby village of Halsham.<\/p>\n

4. The Executed Monk \u2013 "The Devil's Highway" in Bolton <\/h3>\n

Known simply as the A666 ghost, dashcam footage from 2015 revealed a white creature appearing out of nowhere on a deserted road. <\/p>\n

The video shows the figure slowly approaching a terrified driver while the passenger cries for help. Locals speculated the figure could be a monk who was executed in a nearby tower in 1643.<\/p>\n

5. Huge hairy hands \u2013 Nine Mile Hill, Devon <\/h3>\n

The part of Nine Mile Hill near the gate of Archerton Drive first came to the public's attention in the early 1920s when a doctor riding a bike suddenly swerved to the side of the road and was tragically killed. <\/p>\n

A few weeks later a coach mounted the bank by the side of the road after swerving sharply and one woman was badly hurt. The driver told of feeling hands turning the wheel towards the verge, but nobody listened to him. <\/p>\n

Later the same year an army officer was riding a motorbike and was thrown to the verge in the same place. He survived to tell bewildered onlookers he had felt huge hairy hands over his own on the handlebars. <\/p>\n
