Today we're traveling to Devon, the county known for its cream teas, scrumpy… and ghostly apparitions. The Hairy Hands are one of Dartmoor's most famous legends, but what exactly are they - and who do they belong to? We also travel to Buckfastleigh to meet Squire Cabell, the 'monstrously evil man' and his hellish hounds that haunt the Devonshire countryside.

*Since making this episode I have come across new information in regards to the Hairy Hands case. It was actually Theo Brown's mother who saw the Hairy Hands spectre, rather than her - apologies for the mix-up. (Perhaps this is an excuse to visit this case again soon!)

Today's adventure takes us to Wales for an exciting look at some of the country's most interesting myths and legends. Our first stop is Dinas Emrys, the hillock said to have once been the site of a great dragon battle. But why were the dragons fighting, and how did the area get its name? Then we journey on, to the uniquely named Devil's Bridge where three magnificent bridges sit on top of one another. But why was the original one built - and who was the architect? Come along on another virtual journey and find out!
