Folklore of Moorland

Moorland has a rich tradition of folklore and folk tales that stretch back thousands of years. Many of these instances are spoken-word and have never been committed to paper. Like many legends, they sometimes contain a kernel of truth, such as in the recent discovery of the Loch Ell. Others remain furtive shadows, whose presence is only glimpsed from the corner of one's eye.
