When the site of RAF Witchford (in World War II) was being cleared a bulldozer driver found an Anglo-Saxon pagan cemetery on the site. The bulldozer unearthed and crushed about 30 skeletons. Little archaeological work could be undertaken but some artefacts were recovered, which T. C. Lethbridge stated to be consistent with the period AD 450–650.(T. C. Lethbridge was an English archaeologist, parapsychologist, and explorer. A specialist in Anglo-Saxon archaeology... particularly well known for his advocacy of dowsing.)
I presume there hasn’t been a ghost story about this because it would be too on the nose.
(Update: And I didn’t know about They Came From Witchford Academy when I wrote this.)
