ive been doing some research on the the history of a fair which was held on the top of tan hill,wiltshire.upon which i found a strange tale of a sheperd who was returning home a long the wansdyke (ancient enscarpment)after taking his flock to market.
saw a ghostlly appiration of a house and instead of the house being static like normal.this house was said to be moving across the down.
so ive looked at old maps and there has never been any house on this hill.
this to me has to be one of the strangest stories i have found to date

Subsidence ? That's interesting, if someone wants to make up a story of a ghost house why make it so utterly bizarre ? "When out on Knook Down, he sometimes saw little lights bob up and down." Could something as simple as "lights" have become a whole house with subsequent retellings ? www.weirdwiltshire.co.uk/ghosts/020363.html |

Knook down is far from us, have u read the thread i put up on this site concerning sky farm which isnt far from knook down its in the truth behind a ghost story post.
um i wish to point out though that knook is between warminister and upton lovall on the road which passes through haystebury. on knock down is the site of a medium sized romano british settlement and tan hill is situated along the devizes to avebury road u can get to it by stopping at shepards shore and walking along the wansdyke.
thus knook down and tan hill are in fact two totally diffrent places knook is on the edge of salisbury plain,warminster side and tan hill is out towards avebury way,some distance between the two so not the same story in any shape or form.....sorry to point this out
