Curators seeking old tales from Dartmoor

The Museum of Dartmoor Life wants to tell the tales of Dartmoor and look at how they came to exist.

Curators are hoping to hear from people who may have tales handed down through their family. It also wants to know what the people of Dartmoor believe today - and why is there such a growing interest in the old gods.

It is appealing for anyone who believes they have been Pixie-led to get in touch and those whose grandparents were witches, charmers or healers. The museum is also looking to loan items like spell bottles, chimney shoes, protective charms, grimoires, witch balls and gifts from the piskies.
