Devil in Handless

Exploring the legends of South Shropshire

Deep in the heart of South Shropshire lies the quiet village of Handless, which according to local legends is home to the devil himself. It is said that the villagers made a pact with the devil many centuries ago, in exchange for riches beyond their wildest dreams.

However, the devil had his own plans in store for the unsuspecting villagers. On the night of the pact, he appeared before them and demanded their souls in return for what he had promised. Terrified, the villagers attempted to flee, but were trapped by the devil's dark magic. He cursed them to roam the village for eternity, unable to leave its borders.

Today, visitors to Handless can still feel the dark presence that lurks within the village. The trees loom overhead like twisted fingers, and the houses seem to lean inwards as if to keep their secrets hidden from prying eyes. It's not uncommon to hear strange noises or feel an icy breath on the back of your neck, especially when wandering alone at night.

Despite the fear associated with Handless, it remains a popular destination for those seeking adventure. Some brave souls have even attempted to break the curse of the devil and free the villagers from their eternal torment. Whether you believe the legends or not, one thing is certain - Handless is a place like no other, full of dark secrets and mysterious history.

So if you're feeling brave enough, why not pay a visit to this eerie village and see for yourself what lies in its shadowy corners? But remember, once you enter Handless, you may never leave...
