Pool in the area, Deanscombe

In the quiet rural area of Deanscombe, Devon, a peculiar ghostly apparition is said to roam. Locals whisper about a weaver who, after death, returned to his workplace, refusing to leave until he was convinced of his passing by a vicar. This eerie tale takes a strange turn as the weaver transforms into a hound, said to appear briefly at midday and midnight by a pool of water in the area, known as Houndpool. The vicar, in an attempt to calm the spirit, gave the hound a broken shell, instructing it that it could only leave when the pool was emptied.

Combestone Tor, Dartmoor

Perched atop Combestone Tor in the rugged expanse of Dartmoor National Park, a chilling spectacle has been reported by locals and visitors alike. This windswept outcrop of granite has borne witness to the restless spirit of Sam Hunnaford, a local farmer who met a tragic end. It's said that Hunnaford took his own life by hanging, overcome with shame after being duped at a fair. Yet, his spirit hasn't rested. Instead, it's been seen riding a horse, reenacting his final journey, but with a haunting twist - rather than meeting his demise, the ghostly apparition continues on towards his former home, as if trying to relive or redo the past.

Lane in the area, Wrangaton

Wrangaton Lane in Devon was the unlikely setting for a most unusual sighting on 19 November 1998. A local man reported seeing a blood-stained creature, later believed to be a lion, enter a field along the lane. This sparked an eight-hour search operation involving police, who were understandably concerned that local hunters armed with shotguns had joined the hunt. The situation was potentially volatile, but thankfully, no shots were fired.

Tavistock Inn Inn, Poundsgate

Tucked away in the picturesque village of Poundsgate, the Tavistock Inn has a reputation for being one of Devon's most haunted pubs. Legend has it that the Devil himself, affectionately known as Old Nick, once popped in for a pint during a stormy night in the seventeenth century. He looked like any ordinary man, apart from his rather unusual cloven feet, which didnt go unnoticed by the keen-eyed landlady. Although he paid for his drink, the money mysteriously turned into old leaves the moment he left the premises.

General area of the River Tavy, Dartmoor

Deep in the heart of Dartmoor, where the River Tavy winds its way through the rugged landscape, a chilling phenomenon has been reported by locals and visitors alike. The Yeth Hounds, a type of shuck, are said to roam this area after dark, their mournful howls and the sound of horse hooves echoing through the valleys. These ghostly hounds are often accompanied by the faint whispers of hunters on horseback, adding to the eerie atmosphere of this already haunted location. The River Tavy itself holds a dark secret, being the site where the body of Sir John Fitz was found, a fact that only adds to the sense of foreboding that pervades this stretch of countryside.

Rowbrook, Dartmoor

Deep within Dartmoor's rugged landscape lies the eerie Calling Stones, also known as Broad Stones, where an unsettling legend has taken hold. It's said that the River Dart, which flows gently through the area, has a sinister reputation for claiming one life a year. The method of claiming these lives is as chilling as it is unusual - the river is believed to call out to its victims by whispering their names until they are drawn into its waters, where they ultimately meet a tragic end by drowning.
