So to continue with our Spooky season here is the Tale of "The Hairy Hands of Dartmoor",Picture this you are driving along the narrow lanes and roads around Princetown and Postbridge...Its a cold and dark stormy night just a typical winters night on dartmoor when all of a sudden the steering wheel of the car you are driving or the handle bars of the motorcycle are sundenly grabbed by a pair of hair hands covered in dark hair and heavily calloused that are inhummanly strong try to make you drive of the road in some horrific crash.
This happened in June 1921 when a worker at dartmoor prison was traveling on his motorcycle with his two children on the side car,the father yelled at his children to jump clear while he restled with the handle bars ,the children managed to jump clear while he did not and was killed in the resulting crash.
The same thing happened again some time later with another motor cycle and and pillion passenger on the same spot of road the passenger saw clearly a hairy hand trying to upset the bike,the passenger insisted the events had happened.
This tale has been told time and time again over the years when similar accindents have happend of hairy hands with murderous intent trying to drive travelers off the road.
So are these the hands of an evil entity?The ghostly for of some dead ex inmate of the prison?Or some kind of moors Spirit?What ever they are take care when driving on the moors late at night !
And to give you some cheer another cute photo of Speedy!
