Clapham Wood Mystery, Woods with unexplained phenomena in West Sussex, England
Clapham Wood spreads across several hectares of land with dense vegetation, winding paths, and a network of walking trails through the forest.
Between 1972 and 1981, four unexplained deaths occurred in these woods, including Police Constable Peter Goldsmith and Reverend Harry Neil Snelling.
Local residents have documented numerous accounts of UFO sightings, unusual lights, and unexplained phenomena within the forest since the 1960s.
The woodland includes marked hiking paths, parking facilities, and information boards detailing the natural features of the surrounding environment.
Reports indicate that animals become ill or disoriented in certain areas of the woods, while visitors experience sudden patches of grey mist.
