The Mysterious Pegnut Wood
Investigating a creepy bridge uncovers more mysteries.
There's a wood between the Bedfordshire town of Potton and the ancient hamlet of Sutton, which has spooked many locals including Nat. The creepiness seems to coalesce around an ancient bridge along an equally venerable footpath, which has possibly been in use for over 1000 years.
Since Nat encountered this strange part of the woods nearly three years ago, she's been trying to piece together it's history and to find a cause for the unsettling feelings walkers have described.
Why do few birds sing in that part of the woods?
Was the path used as a route to an execution site?
Is a big cat sighting from the 1990s somehow involved?
Nat uncovers Victorian fake news along the way and a torrid tale of polluted waterways and sewage dumps, but does she discover the truth?
