Going through the Wasthill canal tunnel:
The closer I got, the uneasier I felt - it began to take shape. Any
road up, the shape was misty, but definitely a person - all white, well
grey, but you know what I mean. She (I could see it was a she) was dressed
in a flowing dress, the type you see in old boatee photos, except this
dress was prettier and grander than those. Well, I was about 100ft away
and started to reach for the reverse lever when she faded into the darkness.
I am not ashamed to say that by this time I was crying like a baby.
I carried on at rather more revs than one should use in a tunnel and
emerged from the other end, as my friends described, like a bat out
of hell. I was white as a sheet and so badly shaken that I couldn’t
steer anymore, and had to go and lie down.
