Episode 278: The Hairy Hands of Dartmoor

Welcome to Episode 278 of Let’s Get Haunted: The Hairy Hands of Dartmoor! Deep in the misty moors of Devon, England, a seemingly ordinary stretch of road has earned a terrifying reputation. For over a century, motorists have reported a pair of disembodied, hairy hands appearing out of nowhere, grabbing their steering wheels, and attempting to drive them straight to their deaths! But the haunting doesn't stop there. From mysterious crashes to ghostly hands clawing at caravan windows, something sinister may be lurking along the B3212. This week, Nat and Aly investigate the legend of the Hairy Hands of Dartmoor, one of England's strangest and most unsettling roadside hauntings. Are these phantom hands the work of a vengeful spirit, a supernatural force, or simply a very aggressive British driving instructor? Buckle up!
