The Longdendale Lights

The Longendale Valley, sometimes called the "Haunted Valley," is famous for its many strange goings-on, including ghosts, UFOs and, of course, the Longendale Lights. The eerie flickering lights have been known for centuries and have come to be known as "The Devil's Bonfire." Age-old legends have attributed the lights to fairies, witches and even torch-bearing ghosts of Roman soldiers. According to The Peakland Spooklights, "Nearly everyone who has lived in the upper part of the valley has either seen them or knows someone who has seen them."
