My Holidays




Day 6 : Dartmoor


Today, we went to Dartmoor. We stopped at the Dartmoor prison . It looked really creepy as it was a misty day. Legend says that two soldiers got lost in the heather field one dark and snowing night , they fell into a small lake and froze to death. A few months later, a prisoner escaped from the Dartmoor prison, he got lost in the heather field and stopped by the very same frozen lake the soldiers froze in and in the mist , he could see two soldiers walking towards him, he was cold and starving and could not run any more he asked the two soldiers to take him back to prison. At the prison, he described the features and the uniform of the two soldiers, only to realise that they were the ghosts of the two soldiers. Some say that on a misty day like today you still can see the two soldiers. The book :The Hound Of Baskervilles was inspired by that prison
