For over 100 years, drivers crossing Dartmoor’s lonely moorland road have sworn the same thing:
Something grabbed the wheel.
In this episode of Legends & Shadows, we dive into one of Devon’s most unnerving ghost stories — The Hairy Hands of Dartmoor. From the mysterious death of Dr. Helby in 1921, to cyclists, campers, and modern motorists who’ve all felt the same powerful, hairy grip tightening over their hands… this is a legend that refuses to fade.

- The eerie history of the B3212
- Eyewitness accounts of invisible hands
- Early newspaper reports and police involvement
- Myth, superstition, and the moor’s haunted reputation
