The Devil's FootprintsThe Devil's Footprints was the name given to a peculiar phenomenon that occurred in Devon, England on February 8th, 1855. After a light snowfall, during the night, a series of hoof-like marks appeared in the snow. These 'footprints' continued throughout the countryside for a total of over 100 miles, and, although veering at various points, for the greater part of their course followed straight lines. Houses, rivers, haystacks and other obstacles were travelled straight over, and footprints appeared on the tops of snow-covered roofs and high walls which lay in the footprints' path. The cause of the footprints remains a mystery to this day, although it has been suggested that some bizarre meteorological phenomenon was at work. Reports of similar anomolous, obstacle-unheeded footprints exist from other parts of the world, although none is of such a scale as that of the case of the Devil's Footprints.
