Description

Today we are talking about a particularly sinister apparition that stalks the Norfolk

countryside, namely the Old Man of Hopton, who haunts a section of road close to the

coast.

In the Winter edition of Lantern (the wonderful publication from the brilliant Lowestoft-

based Borderline Science Investigation Group) in 1980, the tale of a Lowestoft man on the new A12 Hopton Bypass was reported.
