Bridleway along the plantation, Rivock Edge

Rivock Edge is a spot where the ordinary and the unexplained seem to collide. In 1998, workers tasked with improving the paths and drainage in the plantation were unnerved not by the physical labour, but by something far more inexplicable. Twice that year, in the same stretch of bridleway that winds along the plantation, a figure was seen floating. This wasn't a fleeting glimpse; the sightings were clear enough to leave a lasting impression on those who saw it. The workers, understandably shaken, didn't just catch a glimpse of a person; they saw someone suspended in mid-air, with no apparent connection to the ground.

Woods just outside village, Keighley

Deep in the woods just outside Keighley village, a mysterious apparition has been seen by locals. This spectral dog, known as the Big Collie, is said to have appeared briefly in 1893 to prevent a robbery on the roadside. Its sudden intervention was enough to deter the would-be thieves, and once the threat had passed, the ghostly dog vanished into thin air. The woods can be a eerie place, especially at night, and it's little wonder that this legend has endured for so long.
