It Was a Dark and Snowy Night . . .
On 8 February 1885, in Devon in the south of England, a great unexplained mystery happened. Villagers up and down the Exe river were all huddled indoors, keeping close to their fires and trying to stay warm. No one was out in the streets or the fields. The snow came down thick and soft and settled all over everything. It was eerily quiet. Everyone went to bed, safe and sound. The next morning, on opening their shutters, people saw the strangest sight: hundreds upon hundreds of bizarre footprints could be seen in the snow, going on for about 160 kilometres. They were shaped like the hoof of a
cow, sheep or goat, except that no normal animal could have made the marks, because it looked like the creature had only one leg – all the footprints were in a single line. The story was reported in the newspapers at the time. No one has ever been able to explain where the hoof marks came from. Spooky!
