They say flowers bloom every night on her grave… but no one knows who leaves them.

On a lonely crossroads in the heart of Dartmoor lies the grave of a young woman known as Kitty Jay — a servant girl whose tragic death and mysterious burial have haunted Devon for over two centuries.

In this first episode of Legends & Shadows, voice actor and storyteller Vicki-Jo Eva uncovers the eerie legend behind Jay’s Grave: the orphaned child who grew up in poverty, fell in love, and died in despair — and the strange, unexplained phenomena that continues to surround her resting place.

Every day, fresh flowers appear on her grave.

Every night, people claim to see a hooded figure watching from the mist.
