Supernatural Pennines

Supernatural Pennines gathers more than 100 reported case histories from the hills and valleys of Northern England. Jenny Randles examines UFO sightings and alleged alien-abduction claims around the Yorkshire-Lancashire border, including the area known in the book as “UFO Alley”.

The cases range widely: unexplained lights, humming sounds emerging from the ground, ghost-like big cats, ice falling from clear skies and mysterious skin burns. Randles also considers reports associated with Pendle Hill, whose darker traditions remain part of Lancashire folklore, alongside accounts from the Derbyshire Peaks involving apparent interruptions to the normal flow of time. The material draws on regional surveys and detailed case examinations, presenting the Pennines as a concentrated setting for claims of unexplained phenomena.
