On December 11, 2002, two motorists called police to report seeing a car veering off the A3 trunk road with headlights blazing at Burpham in Surrey.
Officers were promptly dispatched to examine what seemed like an everyday mishap, but were baffled when they could discover no sign of the vehicle concerned. There were no tire marks when traveling nor existed any kind of flattened vegetation or smashed branches that might have handed out the area of an automobile's flow. When dawn came the following early morning, a much more thorough search was undertaken as well as it was then that the cops located what seemed to be the car in question, nevertheless, not all was at it needs to have been, for the police officers discovered not simply the wreckage of a crashed vehicle, but also a grisly mystery.
The search uncovered a car concealed in dense thicket and the long-dead driver nearby. It ended up that the collision had in fact happened 5 months previously when the driver, Christopher Chandler, (not the billionaire) had actually been reported a missing person by his brother David in July. he was 21 years old and identified by dental records.
It gets even more strange…..
At the time he went missing, he was wanted by police in connection with a in an alleged robbery and was last seen in Hounslow, England. A police spokesman said at the time: “We believe the car left the road and ended up in the ditch during July. It doesn’t appear that any other vehicles were involved. The car was discovered as a result of a report from members of the public who thought they saw a car’s headlights veering off the road.” It’s unclear what had brought him to Burpham.
The car was dark red Vauxhall Astra. Although the switches suggested that they had actually been left on at the time of the accident ( consistent with the eyewitness reports), the headlights were now off thanks to a drained battery. Not far from the automobile lay the unfortunate motorist-- he was quite deceased. It seemed as though he had actually made it through the crash, however after that died as he attempted to drag himself up the embankment in an effort to get help. Now the mystical part-- the motorist was almost fully decomposed. He was hardly greater than a skeletal system. Just how could this be, when the witnesses saw the accident only the evening prior to?
So, there is no other wreckage in the area. This is the only wreck. There are 2 witnesses that saw it happen the night before. But the deceased had been dead 5 months. The media speculated in must have been some sort of a ghostly replay.
Is this possible? To this day, nobody has came up with a better explanation. Feel free to comment. I have no explanation.
