If you stand alone on the top of a Dartmoor tor, particularly on a dreary, misty day, and scan the far horizons you will begin to appreciate that this is a unique environment. Here is an ancient landscape that has witnessed many events both mundane and extraordinary. It is therefore steeped in a wealth of folklore, legends and ghost stories, some based on fact, others passed on by word of mouth by people who have lived and worked here for generations. This book is a compilation of the genuinely bizarre or ghostly stories that surround the moors. It is intended to both entertain and inform you about some of the many strange tales Dartmoor has thrown up through the murky mists of time.
