Dartmoor's lonely roads conceal a sinister legend. Since the 1920s, drivers have told the same unsettling story - of disembodied, hairy hands that suddenly appear, gripping the wheel and wrenching control away, sending vehicles careening off the road.

In this episode, join Victoria as she delves into the history of these bizarre encounters, tracing the legend from its earliest whispers to more recent, spine-tingling claims.
