A man named John Teece-Millington believes he witnessed a young girl walking along the pavement clutching a teddy bear, while driving along St Martin’s Way around 12:30am on Monday, February 2nd. John decided to contact police and alert them since he was concerned for this young girl. Police deployed a search but no trace or other sightings of the young girl were found.

“I was stationary for a couple of minutes waiting for the lights to change when I spotted a small girl, aged roughly about seven years old with shoulder length hair, a full fringe and large dark rimmed glasses,” he said.

“She was wearing a white blouse, short pleated skirt but no coat, socks or shoes, and was clutching a teddy bear.

“She was slowly walking along the road towards the traffic lights. I rolled the window down and slowed up to her to make sure she was okay but she carried on walking without a care in the world.

“I was on my way home and was five minutes away from the nearest garage when I spotted a policeman. I reported seeing the little girl as I thought it was strange for her to be out alone at that time and it was a freezing night.”

Police spokesman, Shelley Williams said a search was launched at 12.30am and police even contacted taxi drivers to be aware of a young girl possibly wandering the streets alone.

The search was suspended after no-one was found and no-one was reported missing.

Mr Teece-Millington, a caretaker at Stanley Palace and a member of Cheshire Paranormal, is appealing for anyone else to come forward who may have seen the girl.
