The Day the Devil Came to Dartmoor

Lawrence McNeela has set up a YouTube channel as a way to raise money for local food banks throughout Devon and Cornwall by sharing ghost stories from both counties.

He recently posted a video about Widecombe and the legend of the experiences of Jan Reynolds during the great storm of 1638.

We are pleased to be able to share this video here:
