Weird Winnats Pass

Winnats Pass is a narrow gorge which lies west of the village Castleton. If you drive through it at night time though, it's not hard to believe it's haunted. In the 1700s, two lovers called Alan and Clara decided to run away from their homes in Scotland. Overnight they stopped in Castleton and stayed in a local inn. It was there that they were spotted by a group of drunken miners who saw that they were well dressed and carrying a lot of money. When the couple left the inn, the miners followed them and eventually robbed and murdered them on Winnats Pass. However the five miners also met their ends. One fell off a precipice near the place of the murder and another was killed by falling rock, also near the place of the murder. Furthermore, one hung himself, one went mad-dying miserably and the final one was tormented in his conscience and made a deathbed confession.

It is said that the couple’s spirits still wander Winnats Pass, and on a dark night their voices can be heard begging for their lives.
