Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all the women who juggle everything with grace, courage, resilience, and style while I bumble, fumble, stumble, and mumble through life simply just trying not to burn the toast.

A new survey reveals that nearly 4 million UK motorists could have seen a ghost while driving. 9% of British drivers claim to have witnessed a spectre, 8% say they've spotted a UFO, and a further 8% have 'spied a big cat.' According to a major new study, this is how many motorists have reported seeing ghosts, UFOs, big cats and even Bigfoot while on the road in the UK. The data comes from an exclusive new poll of UK driving licence holders from vehicle lease firm Select Car Leasing [@SC_Leasing] Overall, 9% of the more than 1,000 survey respondents said they had seen a “ghost” while traversing Britain’s haunted highways and byways. That’s the equivalent of 3.79 million motorists, with around 42 million driving licence holders in the UK. A startling 8% said they had sighted a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) from the window of their vehicle. A further 8% also reported glimpsing one of the UK’s infamous out-of-place big cats - such as the black jaguar-like "Beast of Bodmin" - while on the road. And while Bigfoot reports are unusual in the UK, they’re clearly not beyond the realms of possibility, with 3% of respondents to the Select Car Leasing survey suspecting they had seen one - the equivalent of around 1.26 million motorists. Graham Conway, Managing Director at Select Car Leasing, said: “The results of our new supernatural survey are startling, to say the least, with a significant chunk of the British public suspecting they’ve seen something out of the ordinary while driving in the UK.” Yet the data is perhaps not surprising. “Britain is, after all, known as the ‘Haunted Isle’, with reports of the supernatural stemming from Land’s End to John o' Groats.” “We also spend many hours in our cars and vans each week, giving us ample opportunity to spot something unusual - such as UFOs or mysterious big cats - through our window as we traverse the landscape. Keep your eyes peeled while you’re out and about, folks!” Apparently, motorists from Northern Ireland were most likely to have spotted a road ghost, with a whopping 22 per cent of respondents believing they’d seen a spectre. The most haunted road in Northern Ireland is thought to be the Upper Malone Road, to the south of Belfast in the Lagan Valley, where the spirit of a woman clutching her baby has been scaring motorists for years. Londoners were the most likely to say they had witnessed a road-going spectre in England, with 18% of respondents from the capital adamant they had seen a spirit. UFOs - sometimes now known as UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) - have been dominating headlines in recent months thanks to a rash of sightings in America and a Pentagon report into the phenomena. Here In the UK, mystery “drones” were spotted over three airbases in Britain at the end of 2024, sparking an investigation by the United States Air Force (USAF). The Select Car Leasing survey saw 8% of respondents saying they’d seen a UFO while on the road, with 16% of Londoners admitting so. For decades, Brits have reported seeing one particular type of wild animal that shouldn’t be here - a large, typically black, leopard-like feline. Cornwall’s so-called “Beast of Bodmin” is one example, while Dartmoor and Exmoor also have their own “beasts”. Some suspect the creatures were once exotic pets now thriving in the wild, with owners having dumped them following the introduction of the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976, which ushered-in stricter new rules on keeping the cats. In May 2024, the DNA of a big cat in the Panthera genus - presumed to be a leopard - was identified on a sheep carcass in the Lake District, with the analysis revealed by a laboratory at the University of Warwick and seen by some as conclusive “proof” that big cats exist in the UK. The Select Car Leasing study found that 12% of respondents from Yorkshire and the Humber (behind Londoners, 15%, in first place) had seen a "big cat" while on the road. In November 2024, walkers on moors near Askrigg, North Yorks, filmed a big black cat prowling farmland with a sheep found "ripped to shreds" nearby. While "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch" type creatures are often associated with the vast wilderness areas of North America, they’re also said to lurk here in Blighty. In March 2024, Rock Solid Coasteering group members spotted and photographed a huge footprint on the Maidencombe coast path in Torquay, Devon, with reports of a "Littlefoot" type beast having been reported for decades in nearby woodland. A group of fishermen on the South Downs reported being stalked by a “growling” creature in 2024, an event which left them terrified.
