Tales of Dartmoor - The Hairy Hands

I've loved Dartmoor my whole life, especially the myths and legends that come from it.
I love bringing those stories to those who don't know them. So I decided to make them into a short series documenting some of the weird and wonderful legends of this mysterious moorland.

I live nearby. I defy anyone who should travel this road in the evening not to feel uneasy.

Well done - this was a very well put together video - and interesting too. The hairy hands is the first thing I ever heard about Dartmoor when i was about five - before then, I dont think I had ever heard of Dartmoor before. Great legend. Subbed you, and shared this video to our page!

[@IMPStudio]

Thank you very much! I intend on making more of these one day, I'm no longer in Devon so it's tricky at the moment, but These will return! :D

[@SummitOrNothing]

Well, from one avid filmmaker to another, i look forward to it.

[@IMPStudio]

Your channel looks interesting too man, Have subbed you back! look forward to checking out your videos! If you're interested I did a lot of hapless wandering of Dartmoor in my vlogs when I was in Devon, had some interesting adventures!

[@SummitOrNothing]

cool - will check them out. Thanks for subbing back!

heard this story when I was a child..some 45 Years ago

[@jeremyburnham5014]

I grew up in Tavi. The Hairy Hands scare me even now when I think about them......and I live 3,500 miiles away.

[@troyperkins8158]

I first heard this story when I was a little kid in the mid 1980s. This story was told on the kids TV show on ITV called The Wide Awake Club and it scared the hell out of me!! Great video Sir!

[@wankywinky]

Brilliant dude! Thank-you. More please, perhaps one on Wistman's Wood? - one of my favourite Dartmoor features

[@moorlifeadventures]

New subscriber! Really well put together video. I live in Princetown and have grown up hearing this tale. I had the strangest experience there a couple of days ago and I won’t ever drive that road again ☹️

[@mikeysonlyvanspage]

I camped on Dartmoor two nights ago. It was very creepy and eerie but I love the place. There is something very mystical about it. I went to this old pub in the middle of nowhere and the front door was rattling in the wind. I felt like I was in an old film or something. I urge any tourists visiting the UK to go there. It's a very special place.

[@mistahbtheoryz]

Great video bud! I used to work on Willies ice creams with you a few years back! I’ve driven that road many a time in the van like yourself! The change in chamber of that bit of road can really throw you out if you’re not careful! Great stories and really well presented! Hope your acting’s coming on too bud! 👊🏻

[@halsinden]

Same story told by our woodwork teacher (Tom Church) based at Ashburton Secondary Modern School (1966) when I was a pupil there. I'm not sure if it happened to him initially, but that was where I heard it first ?

Omg I heard about it but didn’t know how close we were I used to live in Morton Hampstead

[@hallsvillebutcher]

the hairy hands stretch of road is dangerous to drive.. you travel down a steep road down and up in a valley. at the bottom is a stone bridge, set at an angle to the road and with adverse camber. The cars approaching this bridge tend to travel at speed going dorn the hill.. when they hit the turn at the bridge centrifugal energy comes into play forcing the car of the road.

[@gymrachel]

hallsville butcher Dartmoor has so much mysticism.

[@moorlifeadventures]

hallsville butcher I always thought that until I had a strange experience there last week

[@gymrachel]

[@Blankeyslab]

Hey IMP Studio. I was wondering if you knew more on the tale of The Kuri. Ive searched around and seem to get the same tale recycled with no new bits of info anywhere. I was wondering if you might know more about The Kuri besides the generic able to be found on google search and within some youtube videos.

[@YummoWickersham]

Some say those hands belong to a worker of the old powder factory who blew up himself after imprudently wearing hobnail boots inside the premises of the powder workshop.
