I was up walking the old railway line that goes around Rosedale on Christmas Day, in the snow. And I got to wondering - does anyone know of any ghost or ghost type stories regarding this old lime working line? Or, indeed, of the moors in general?
I've looked about and all I can find is old folk tales, mostly very very old that have passed through many generations before being written down. I'd be interested in actual recent ghosts of the high moors. I know there were deaths related to the rail line, and Sheriff's Pit is quite an atmospheric location (when not full of tourists in trainers). So has anyone got anything they could point me towards reading, or any personal tales?
This is the location I'm talking about... tell me that's not slightly spooky!
