An "eerie" mystery noise has been reported by locals across large parts of the Bristol Channel. Residents spanning an area of more than 40 miles say "the ground was vibrating" as a loud "repetitive banging" sound echoed across the area late last on Friday, April 21.
It was heard loudly across Burnham-on-Sea, Highbridge and Brean - but some people have said they could hear the bangs as far north as Weston-super-Mare and as far west as Minehead, reports Somerset Live.
It has been confirmed that the noise was being emitted from offshore work which recently began at Hinkley Point C nuclear power station. Two massive "jack-up" vessels - named Neptune and Sea Challenger - are being used to install vertical shafts 20 metres below the surface of the water in the Bristol Channel.
