In the early hours of 5 April 1989 a motorbike was speeding along the A20 in Kent. The night was dark and there was very little traffic on the road. Clive Taylor was in a hurry to get home. He had left London later than he
had expected. But now he was making good time.
As he approached Wrontham Hill he glaced at his watch. Exactly two o` clock (AM) He changed gear and sped up the hill. A minute later he reached the bend at the top of the hill. it was a dangerous place for accidents. But with so little traffic on the road, Clive didn`t slow down.
Suddenly, he saw a girl standing in the middle of the road. Clive had to swerve to avoid her. But she didn`t move. When he had stopped, the girl calmly walked up to him and asked him if he could give her a lift. He asked her what`s she was doing in such a lonely spot. She said that there had been an accident. Clive looked around but he couldn`t see a car or people. he asked the girl what had happened, but she didn`t reply
Clive told her to get on the pillon and hold tight. As the girl climbed on, Clive suddenly felt very cold, but he noticed that she was only wearing a light dress. She looked as if she was on her way to a party.
They rode on down the hill and Clive talked to the girl over his shoulder. He asked her what her name was and where she lived. But she didn`t reply. At one point Clive trought that she shouted something, but he could`t hear very well over the noise of the motorbike`s engine.
At the bottom of the hill there was a telephone box. Clive pulled off the road and stopped. But when he turned round, he froze in horror. The girl wasn`t there. He looked all round, and called out, but there wasn`t there wasn`t any sign of her. She had gone.
Then Clive remembered the shout that he had heard. Had the girl fallen off the pillon ? In a cold sweat, he rode back up to the spot wheer he had first seen girl. But he couldn`t see her. He rode down the hill again as slowly as he could. There was no sign of her. She had simply dissapeared.
By this time, Clive was desperate. he rode as fast as he could to the nearest town and found the police station. He told the policeman at the desk what had happened. The policeman asked him to discribe the girl. When he had finished, the policeman told him to sit down and asked him if he wanted a cup of tea. To his surprise, the policeman didn`t seem very worried.
Then the policeman told Clive that ten years before, there had been an accident on Wrontham Hill. A girl and her boyfriend had been on their way back from a party, when she had falled off the pillon of the motorbike and been killed. Since that time several motorcyclist had seen the girl. The accident had happened at exactly five past two.
