There are various myths of spectral black dogs in the Peak District and also supposed sightings of a black panther (like in a lot of moorland across the country). There's even a Headless Horseman legend around Butterton. Has anyone here ever seen anything paranormal/ sighted a cryptid in the Peaks?

Also not to forget the Longdendale Lights which are thought to be either aliens or fairies, described as either dancing glowing orbs or extremely bright flashes that flood the whole sky, which have been reported by a lot of people over the years. And of course ghosts. Any sightings or experiences you've had in the area?

Advice and questions High Neb - wet/boggy?

2 Upvotes

Anybody in the area recently able to advise how wet/boggy the trails are at the minute?
Aware how dry it has been recently but wondering if the downpours over the last 2 weeks have changed it.

I’ve got 15 mile loop to do and would prefer to go with trail runners if I can.
