Conington Level Crossing is said to be the most haunted level crossing in Britain and has been called "The Crossing of Death" and with good cause.
In 1948 six German P.O.W.s were killed on the level crossing when the lorry they were travelling in was hit by an engine.
Later in the year, on 16th October 1948 Colonel Mellows and his black labrador dog were killed instantly when the black Chrysler car he was driving was hit on the level crossing by the 4pm London train.
The ghost of Colonel Mellows makes that final journey each 16th October.
Before the Conington Level crossing was automated railway signal men reported hearing a car and the gates opening but there wasn't anyone there. Locals are said to avoid the Conington level Crossing at night.
