Forget beautiful scenery and fresh country air, there’s now another reason to visit the Peak District – the supernatural.
Tourists and locals have claimed to have spotted a mysterious ghost plane flying around the Derbyshire countryside in the United Kingdom.
According to reports, there have been several sightings of a Douglas Dakota aircraft that used to be flown by the RAF in the mid 20th century, one of which was reported to have crashed in the area in the 1940s.
Recently, a woman revealed that she was enjoying a country walk when she spotted a silent plane flying towards her, which then disappeared.
She isn’t alone – local Pam Orridge also saw a similar apparition while driving with her son nearly the village of Rowsley a few years ago.
She told the Derbyshire Times: “Suddenly in front of us was an aircraft flying very low towards us, so low we thought it would crash into us, but then it banked sideways and disappeared.”
She added: “We could not identify the aircraft other than it was old because it happened so quickly and left us quite shocked.”
Since then, others also have come forward to report sightings of a silent old aircraft.
The Peak District is known locally as the UK’s Bermuda Triangle because of the high number of plane crashes it experiences.
In the 1930s, 40s and 50s, it was the scene of more than 130 deaths from plane crashes.
