Summary

Zelia Edgar brings us to England in the 1970s. At 2:30 AM, long-haul truck driver, Len Delman, was navigating his lorry into Banbury, Oxfordshire, when something terrifying appeared. A figure dressed in white stood motionless in the road. Slamming the brakes to avoid disaster, Len rushed out—only to find no one there. Moments later, his headlights revealed a tall, otherworldly being staring back at him. In this chilling episode, Zelia explores the Banbury Ballyhoo—one of Oxfordshire’s most mysterious and unnerving encounters. Was it a ghostly apparition, an alien entity, or something far stranger? Join us as we dive into witness testimony, the folklore of Banbury, and the unsettling possibilities behind this late-night roadside encounter.
