Barford Bridge, Northamptonshire
Joining Kettering and Corby, the stretch of bridge along the A6003 is said to be haunted by a bearded monk, who appears in front of drivers at night.
One incident reported by a police officer in 2009 prompted the Northamptonshire Paranormal Investigation Team to set up a night watch in the area, and reported an unusual drop in temperature, as well as loud banging when they tried to make contact with the spirit world.
The Devil’s Highway, near Bolton
This stretch of the devilishly named A666 is allegedly home to a dark shadow that appears in front of motorist.
A number of accidents have been attributed to apparent sightings, and footage even emerged in 2015 claiming to show a shadowing figure crossing the road.
Blue Bell Hill, Kent
Locals to the area claim the victim of a fatal road accident in 1965 haunts the road.
Wearing a wedding dress, the image of a woman allegedly jumps in front of drivers who then think they have run her over, only for the vision to disappear when they get out of their car.
Cock Lane, near the Old Bailey in London
One of the houses on this street is said to be haunted by the ghosts of two women who died in the residence back in the 1760s.
While drivers might not see anything on the road, many believe you can still hear strange noises and screams as you travel past.
The Ghost Road, Dumfries and Galloway
The Kinmount Straight between Gretna and Dumfries has seen its fair share of allegedly phantom collisions with pedestrians.
Sightings of disappearing road casualties have been reported since the 1950s.
In 1997, Donna Maxwell even reported a collision with a pedestrian to police, but neither could find any trace of a victim.
The Old Tay Bridge, Dundee
On December 28, 1879, Britain's worst ever bridge disaster saw a six-carriage train plunge into the icy waters off the coast of Scotland as the Tay Bridge collapsed.
All 75 passengers on the train were killed.
According to a legend, on the anniversary of the tragedy each year, a ghost train can be seen crossing the old stretch of bridge.
The B519 by The Spaniard’s Inn, Hampstead
A sharp turn in the B519 just before The Spaniard's Inn in Hampstead is said to be haunted by an eighteenth-century highway man.
The ghost's father allegedly owned the pub for a time, and his ghoulish son still walks the road looking to prey on motorists.
Sally in the Woods, Wiltshire
This treacherous stretch of the A636 is supposed to be the site of the tragic death of a young girl who was struck when she ran into the road.
Motorists have reported numerous sightings, and as many as seven fatal accidents in the area have been left with no logical explanation for their cause - leading many to think they are the result of paranormal intervention.
Earlier this year we reported on the frightening ghost of "Kelly", who haunts the notorious Wakehurst Parkway in Sydney, Australia.
