Twyford Down, Twyford

Twyford Down, a scenic hill in Hampshire, is home to a notorious stretch of the M3 motorway. In 1992, construction workers disturbed the graves of eighteen men, allegedly two metres tall, while building this section of the motorway. The consequences were dire: two workers suffered fatal heart attacks and a night watchman dropped dead at his post. Locals protesting the construction were quick to attribute these incidents to a curse, dubbing it 'the curse of the giants'.
