On the morning of February 9th, 1855, the residents of Devon woke to a nightmare pressed into the snow. A single-file line of cloven hoof-prints, stretching over miles of frozen English countryside. Across thirty towns. In six hours. Made by something walking upright, one foot precisely in front of the other. The prints didn't go around obstacles. They went through them. Over fourteen-foot walls without disturbing the snow at the base. Across a two-mile river with no mark at either shore. Across rooftops while families slept below. The explanations that followed were creative. None of them quite fit the evidence. Then, in 2009, a woman in North Devon walked out to her garden after a fresh snowfall. Same prints. Same single-file line. Starting at a window. Vanishing without explanation on the other side of the yard. One hundred and fifty-four years between events. Same county. No answers. Haunted Talks tells the story of the Mystery of the Devil's Footprints. If you enjoyed this episode, you might also like: Episode 188 – Something in the Air: What Happened in Mattoon, Illinois?
