It is not surprising that somethings are 'best seen - soonest forgotten' Running from Maidstone towards Rochester and the Medway towns is the A229, a road better known as Bluebell Hill. It passes very close to Kit's Coty, and is noted for its fogs and mists. On winter's, or late autumn evenings, cars travelling northwards along the road often stop to give a young woman, waiting at the side of the road, a lift. Stories from here in vary. Sometimes the driver takes his passenger to her home, only to find she has disappeared, other times the driver turns to speak to his passenger - who has suddenly vanished.
More recent sightings are different still.
Last autumn a driver was discovered suffering from shock. A week later a white-faced lorry driver called in at the poice station to report a similar occurance. The local police are used to these stories, the drivers are not. There once was a party of young women who had been at a pre-wedding celebration in Maidstone and were travelling home to Rochester when their car broke down. Hoping to thumb a lift they got out.
