There can be few hauntings that are as bizarre and dramatic as that which afflicts Cambridge Gardens in the early hours of some mornings.
The phantom in question is that of a number 7 double decker London bus, last seen in May 1990.
However, it first came to public attention when, in early one morning in 1934, a motorist driving along Cambridge Gardens, suddenly swerved, for no apparent reason, and was killed when his car hit a wall and burst into flames.
At the subsequent inquest into his death, witnesses came forward to testify to the existence of a phantom bus that many of them had been seen, more or less at the exact spot where the fatal crash had occurred. They told how it would always appear at round about 1.15am, the time that the crash had occurred, and spoke of their terror as it came racing along the centre of the road towards them. No driver was ever visible, and no lights were ever on.

After its
quick industrial growth, Italy took a long time to confront its environmental
problems. After several improvements, it now ranks 84th in the world for
ecological sustainability. National parks cover about five percent of the
country. In the last decade, Italy has become one of the world's leading
producers of renewable energy, ranking as the world’s fourth largest holder of
installed solar energy capacity and the sixth largest holder of wind power
capacity in 2010. Renewable energies now make up about 12% of the total primary
and final energy consumption in Italy, with a future target share set at 17%
for the year 2020.
