In Cotgrave in Notttinghamshire there’s a wood on top of Owthorpe Hill known as Devil’s Drop. No one locally can remember why it’s called that, and despite the name, there are no reports of any strange activity or eerie phenomena that have reached public attention. If you’re walking in the woods one day, you might bump into a man in a Rab jacket and walking boots who is doing the same thing. You’ll nod hello, and he nods a friendly hello back and you both go your separate ways.
Don’t stop and talk to him though. He dropped something very important in that wood six hundred years ago, and every now and then he goes back to find it. If he doesn’t find it, which he hasn’t done yet, he might take something else instead. Or someone else.
