The Spook's Mistake

THE HIGHEST POINT IN THE COUNTY

IS MARKED BY MYSTERY.

IT IS SAID THAT A MAN DIED THERE IN A

GREAT STORM, WHILE BINDING AN EVIL

THAT THREATENED THE WHOLE WORLD.

THEN THE ICE CAME AGAIN, AND WHEN IT

RETREATED, EVEN THE SHAPES OF THE

HILLS AND THE NAMES OF THE TOWNS

IN THE VALLEYS WERE CHANGED.

NOW, AT THAT HIGHEST POINT ON

THE FELLS, NO TRACE REMAINS OF WHAT

WAS DONE SO LONG AGO,

BUT ITS NAME HAS ENDURED.

THEY CALL IT –

The Wardstone.
