Anonymous asked: This is a legend that has been unanswered since the 18th century. This is the story of Kitty Jay. She was an orphan, who lived in Dartmoor. One day, she was raped by a young farmer, and eventually became pregnant with his child. Kitty Jay became shameful and afraid, so she hanged herself in a barn (also in another version of the story, she hanged herself from her great kitchen fireplace lintel). She was buried at a crossroads. The remains of her body where placed in a coffin re-buried...
Every night, fresh new flowers are placed on her grave. It is unknown who puts them there. Motorists passing at night claim that they glimpsed ghostly figures in their headlights. Others day that they can see a large, black hooded figure kneeling over her grave. The legend is still unanswered to this day.
This is the end of the story right here, in case anyone wants to read it in it’s entirety.
