Welcome again to an episode of Dartmoor tales of wonder and weirdness! In this episode we look at the story of an historical scandalous Devon murderer and his sinister daughter.... or was she really?! Of course, it being Dartmoor and the home of the Pixies, we have a couple of great little Pixie tales. There is a strange legend of a ghost that shape-shifted. And finally, after many people contacting me.... we have The Hairy Hands of Dartmoor, probably one of the moor's most famous weird tales, about a stretch of road we have ourselves travelled many many times. Enjoy :)
