If people don't know of the huge slug-beast seen in Longendale, Derbyshire, this is from http://www.hauntedvalley.com/index_s.htm
Has there ever been anything like this described anywhere else, ever?
Mr John Davies has lived in the Longdendale Valley for most of his life and often tells the story of a weird encounter he had one night at the Devil's Elbow.
He remembers riding home on his motorbike from Manchester late on a clear moonlit night and as he rounded the bend in the road he felt an overwhelming urge to stop. He became aware of an odd gravelly, gritty noise and to his amazement he saw a huge creature emerge from the reservoir and slide across the road in front of him.
In Ghosts and Legends of the Peak District, he described the monster thus "It was like a massive black slug sliding across t'road and up t'moor. It had a head just like a whale and a white eye with a black pupil going round and round."
The beast disappeared and Mr Davies got off his motorbike to search for it but there was nothing there.
