The congested M6 has topped the list of haunted highways, a survey has found.
Roman soldiers, a ghostly woman and a phantom lorry driving the wrong way are included in strange sights reported on the M6.
The second-most haunted road was the A9 in the Highlands of Scotland, where a family said they saw an ornate coach and horses complete with bewigged footmen that no other road users appeared to spot.
Other incidents reported in the survey, compiled by Tarmac, included: eyes looking out from bushes in Platt Lane, Leigh, Manchester - the scene of a mining disaster years ago; a phantom dog on Great Yarmouth High Street; and ghostly children playing in Gloucester Road, Finsbury Park, north London.
Elsewhere, there was a 'guardian angel' voice alerting a woman driver of an out-of-control car on the B4293 in Devauden in Wales, and a lady in Victorian dress on the B3314 near Tintagel in Cornwall.
The Roman soldiers incident on the M6 Toll near Lichfield, Staffordshire, was related by Sue Cowley, from Coleshill, Warwickshire, who spoke of seeing about 20 figures "more like upright shadows than men'' who had no legs but appeared to be "walking through the tarmac as you would walk through water''.
Tony Simmons, sightings co-ordinator for Tarmac, said: "We've had more sightings of clarity reported from the M6 than any other road in Britain.
