The Lead Masks

On the morning of February 9, 1855, the people of Devon awoke to discover something extraordinary. Across the snow-covered countryside, strange hoof-like footprints had appeared overnight. They crossed fields, passed over high walls, continued across rooftops and seemingly defied every known explanation.
Who – or what – left those footprints? Why did they appear in such extraordinary locations? And why has this strange winter mystery continued to fascinate investigators for more than 170 years?

Welcome to episode 4 of Midnight Mysteries, where we investigate the legendary and deeply unsettling case of The Devil's Footprints.
