Many places are haunted by a spooky and creepy past. From historical events which shape the societies we are today to the more bone-chilling ones, Essex has a varied history. Known for being a commuter town thanks to its great transport links into London, Billericay today is a rather affluent area with homes that'll set you back a fair bit.
The town even has streets dubbed 'millionaires row' where you'll find these expensive houses. But one street in its past has a rather peculiar story. Legend has it, an old cottage was 'unbuilt' by a mysterious force that nobody knows how or why.

Legend said that every day a portion that had been built was found ‘un-built’ the next morning, with all the materials scattered about by "unnatural means". Hidden East Anglia wrote about the creepy house: "Somewhere along the Stock Road (the main B1007 that runs north-south through the town) there was once an old cottage that some mysterious force did not want to be built.
Every day a portion that had been erected was found ‘un-built’ the next morning, with all the materials scattered about by unnatural means." The town nowadays is home to more than 28,000 residents and may be known to.
