SOURCES:
The Illustrated London News (February 17, 1855) – This is a key historical source that reported on the mysterious tracks in Devon shortly after they were discovered. You directly referenced a quote from this publication, which described the tracks and their strange behavior.
Reverend H. T. Ellacombe's letter to The Illustrated London News – This eyewitness account adds credibility to the mystery and was quoted in the transcript, offering the curious theory that the tracks could have been left by a kangaroo.
Contemporary accounts from Devon residents – Various eyewitness accounts, such as from local farmers and townspeople, who reported seeing the tracks firsthand. These were not individually cited but are part of the broader historical record that helps illustrate the event.
Other historical reports – The transcript briefly references similar incidents in Scotland in 1840 and South Molton, Devon, shortly after the 1855 event. These accounts contribute to the wider mystery but aren't tied to a specific published source.

I was married in north Devon and it's a beautiful part of the country. The West Country in general is rich in mythology, the Fae, the beast of Bodmin moor, and assorted hell hounds, Avalon and the Arthurian legends, all that good stuff. I once drove across Exmoor at night and it was jolly creepy. There's a saying, "the devil's always on the guest list" I don't think he showed up at my wedding in the beautiful Devon countryside but I won't swear to that as I'd been on the wine since lunchtime

You may never read this because I’m sure it’s very hectic and time consuming searching for stories then having to put a video together with editing and all the other details that it takes to put out videos, so I totally understand you don’t have time to read every comment but I would love for you to know how much I love and appreciate your videos. I only came upon your channel a week ago and now I’m binge watching all your videos. I’ve been subscribed to MrBallen back when he had 125, 000 subscribers and I knew eventually he would have hundreds of thousands subscribers ( now he has over one million) and I feel the exact same way about your channel. You’re a amazing storyteller and I can see you having over one million subscribers. I’ve not found anyone whose in a league with MrBallen and yourself. Thank you for all your hard work you endure to bring us such wonderful videos. God bless you and your loved ones. ❤

I really enjoy your stories. I find myself saying I have to watch your videos. Everyday pain reliever. Thank you for helping me forget the pain I'm in

[Joe-Guybee]

I spit out my drink when you said, "Paranormal pub crawl." I said it before, and I'll say it again. I love your wit. All the reasons people come up with they can't explain the 100 miles. That has me baffled. Thanks for another great story, Carol Ann. Much love.

Wow! I live in South Devon. I'm more amazed we got snow that deep and it stayed.

[Damonpeters]

Awesome attire Carol Anne - blends perfectly with natural hair color-“ cherry on top” of captivating story telling ability- “ keep the stories coming”

The weirdest thing I have ever seen in the snow was a single deer hoof print on my porch. I have a small, concrete front porch with three steps. One morning I looked outside and saw a single deer hoof print on the second step. It was backwards and there were no other prints anywhere around it. In fact there were no other prints in my yard that I saw. I would have never guessed there was even a deer near by if it weren't for that one single print. It's like a deer was Mission Impossibled out of the sky on a wire and made a perfect backwards hoof print and then vanished. Still blows my mind to this day. I wish I would have gotten a picture of it.

Well, Carol Ann, I've come to the conclusion that either an event that was greatly exaggerated by the press, or was something supernatural, no other explanation seems plausible ❤❤

Leaping from roof to roof. That sounds like spring heeled jack.

I haven’t heard this story since I was 11 in a book called “Strange but True”. That booked freaked me out. I’m now 58. I wonder if it may have been a probe from an advanced civilization sampling the elements in the snow. The content of the snow samples can inform loads of environmental info and drones are now capturing objects that are small and crazy fast. It may have been airborne sending out a pulse which left that mark. Dunno, spitballing. Love the content here. 🙂

Reminds me a bit of the January 1909 outbreak of Jersey Devil sightings, which included hoofed tracks that seemed to climb walls and run across roofs. Outstanding story telling, thank you! 😃

[carolinagrammy]

What a baffling story!! I don't think we are ever going to have a definitive answer as to exactly what made those tracks. But Carol Ann your retelling of this story is spot on as always dear lady. You are amazing. Sending you lots of love from North Carolina ❤️ Sheri ❤️

[jessquinn]

Hey Carole, another great show. I really love your channel. You have a grand way of narrating all these stories and events: Not overly scary but still with a touch of "the feeling of uncertainty." And I am grateful beyond everything that you are not using AI images or voice overs. Thanks for keeping it real and entertaining. Bless you for the work you do for all of these shows.

Case is coverd in the classic THE CASE FOR THE UFO by M.K.Jessup 👍

[pixie]

I tried to watch the live. Time difference got me! I had to sleep 😴 this was a good story, I recall hearing about this years ago. I really enjoyed your telling Carol Anne.

[brendaford]

Yes! I live in this very area and I first read of this story from a little card in a pack of “candy sticks”! And from there (in the early 80s) my love of the paranormal began… I still have those little cards somewhere 🤔

[Thorrson]

That's super strange. Even "hoaxed", how would the hoaxers not leave additional tracks? And I'm sure someone would have heard them on their roofs! Awesome story!

[wereallabitcrazee]

Best storyteller by far 🥰 I love your way Carol Anne

[Roberta_]

Hi Carol Ann. I'm so glad I saw this live.

[mitzi]

Paranormal pub crawl is a phrase I didn't know I needed.
