there was a car crash on there about 14 years ago ! a single car lost contol and crashed into the bridge parapet at the botom of one of the dips and burst into flames! There were four occupants in the car, one was an Ex-Girlfriend of mine who suffered massive burns but survived, two of the others got out with minor injuries and the fourth, my best mates work mate, burned to death because he could not release his seatbelt! so there is every reason to feel spooked when you drive along Dean Head!!!

Steve hiDuring WW2 the blackout caused a few fatal traffic accidents. Bad one down Stairfoot Lane in about 1944.On the bend before the descent to bridge cottage, just down past where the car park is now.There was an article somewhere, but the occupants were killed immediately apart from little girl thrown clear with her doll who died later. I've had the misfortune to return home that route late one dark night and the bike lights picked out what looked like someone running at me. Braced ready for an impact but no one there.Couple of days later I checked the helmet webcam [att], and since then I just don't use that road. She's still there.

I was cycling in that area on sat morn (following the LCN to Alwoodley then on upto Eccup) but I've done that lane before and it is on the spooky side.I've also done Adel Woods early evening (testing new lights) and its not something I'd want to repeat in a hurry.

Re:
I have just had a play about with that image, with some image enhancement software. It looks like a young girl, with long hair, gazing down at possibly a doll. There is what might be a dolls head in the left lower corner.Jogon wrote:Steve hiDuring WW2 the blackout caused a few fatal traffic accidents.

Bit dubious about this one. posted on the fourth of Feb 2013 mentions it as a past event yet a quick search on his Flickr page says the picture was taken FIFTH of Feb 2013.....
