Billericay Police Station, built in 1938, is a younger building by local standards, but it has a history of unexplained activity. Many believe these strange occurrences are linked to a police inspector who was on the verge of retirement in 1976. While responding to a false alarm, his car was hit. After heroically rescuing the driver, the inspector collapsed and later died.

​

Since then, his spirit is said to haunt the station. A Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) once sat alone when a stapler suddenly flew past her, causing her to flee to the car park and refuse to go back inside.

​

More recently, staff have reported a series of bizarre incidents. A mug was pushed off a table and a cleaner was disturbed by things moving on their own. One staff member was greeted with a polite "good morning" in an empty room, a voice that sounded like a child's the second time it happened. The same person later saw a tall male figure in a white shirt and black trousers in the kitchen—which was once an old cell.

​

Other reports from past and present staff include hearing doors slam, cutlery moving, and disembodied whistling. One support staff member, working alone, thought they were following their manager to the kitchen for a cup of tea, only to discover they were completely alone. The station's old cells also hold a chilling presence, with one in particular making staff feel so uneasy they couldn't even look inside.
