Loved watching your series, thank you so much, i was born on Main Street Haworth in 1969, we had a antique emporium market in the street abd i ran wild as a kid on the moors, got a few interesting stories, at the side of the black bull pub there was a allotment and it had a cockpit from a ww2 fighter plane in the middle, not sure if anything is still there today but if you take the path at the back of the black bull carpark leading to the old Jagger's quarry just on your left in the first allotment. Once found 11 boxes of ordinance up way past Stanbury, think thst was in tje Keighley news early 70s but ive seen a couple of strsnge things i cant explain also up on the moors, including my clear sighting of Barghest on the edge of ponden kirk when i was 11, i ran all the way home! The moors are everything to me, i could never leave them, returned from a month in Saudi Arabia in 2006 and dropped of my bags picked up my tent and headed onto the hills just to get my connection back on track 😉💚

I’ve seen 1 light somewhere over the moor. I lived in scalebor Park, burley in wharfdale. I did have a photo of it on my old phone but only showed my close friends and family

I must confess to seeing one or two strange things up there during the hours of darkness ;)
