The Mystery of the Yorkshire Moors
My grandad always told me stories about the Yorkshire Moors. He said they were beautiful, but also a bit spooky. He used to walk there when he was young, and he swore he once saw something strange.
One evening, just before sunset, he was walking home from his mate's farm when he noticed a shadow moving near the old stone circle. He thought it was just a sheep at first, but then it stood up—tall and thin. He said it didn't look like a person, not quite.
He ran faster than he ever had in his life. When he got home, his mum told him he'd probably just seen mist rising from the ground. But he was sure it had been something else.
Even now, people say strange things happen up on the moors. Lights in the sky, footsteps when no one's there. Some say it's just the wind. Others? Well, they're not so sure…
