In the early month of February in the year 1855, residents of Exeter and batting regions, including places like Plymouth, prospered in Devon, near the given coordinates, were confronted by one of the most perplexing and eerie events in history. The backdrop shivere under an intense snowfall, that blanketed everything under a white canvas. On the morning of February 9th, residents awoke to discover a series of hoof-like prints, resembling that of a cloven hoof, across the snowy landscapes of their town, stretching as far as 40 miles in some places. The mystery, however, was not simply in the appearance of these prints, dubbed the ‘Devil’s Footprints’, but the inexplicable nature of their course. The prints, in a single file line, went up and over houses, walls, haystacks and other obstacles, seeming to pay no heed to any physical barriers. They even traversed the high rooftops and passed through narrow drain pipes, creating an eerie sight. This led many locals to believe that they were the footprints of Satan himself, rampaging through Devon in the night. Rational theories range from hopping rodents, to escaped kangaroos, to atmospheric phenomena, but none quite fit the recorded facts of the event. The true source of these prints remains unknown. While the story of the Devil’s footprints might not be one of mankind’s oldest mysteries, it is a palpable myth that has struck fear into the hearts of those who believe and remain a perplexing riddle for local Devonshire residents and visitors alike.
