I would just like to imagine a prankster making plasters of a footprint and starting this. Then realized how much bigger this had become, and thus had to continue the bit. Might have even gotten his buddies in on it, creating nearly identical footprints.
Were the prints staggered or parallel as illustrated? Because I can't imagine how a bipedal animal would make parallel prints unless they were jumping/ hopping (like the kangaroo)? bc that's what's making me think it was an object
I was in Mexico taking a walk a couple years ago. I was walking on a dirt road when I noticed their were footprints on the ground. They were hoove shaped like a horse or a goat. The footprints were straight just like in the video. Then all of sudden the footprints stopped like if it just flew away….. I’ll never forget that. It was so creepy!! I believe whatever made those footprints on February 8, 1885 is the same thing that made footprints in Mexico….
Just a note for future recordings for James and any other American voice artists, with any English county names that end in 'shire' - No one in the UK pronounces this as 'shire' we aaaalways say it more like '-shurr' or '-shuh', pronouncing it fully just sounds completely wrong haha
Oh C'mon guys, leave Lady Nature alone she was just taking a walk alone in the fresh snow, no need to bring Satan into the conversation 8( Anyway, im so happy for another video from you James, love to hear your narration while drawing
Nobody gonna care but here I am I’m from Lympstone where this actually happened. It’s funny seeing the world talk about it constantly when it’s literally never talked about here. I learnt about it in Lympstone Primary School but that was it
I don't know if it's already a theory out there, but what about some kind of giant bird that would have lost 2 toes on each foot...? Like, due to some kind of deformity from birth rather than accident(s) - cuz that'd be a little too crazy of a coincidence. It could be a nonnative species from that zoo? 🤔
There’s a story must be covered, it’s about a mother lost her daughter and the cops didn’t try to do anything about it , and the mother did her best to bring justice to her daughter It’s the story of jawaher hajji Please cover it up 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I just LLLLLOOOVVEEEEE listening to old 1800 creepy stories... Just like Hinderkiefek. When you come to your senses and logic.... You know it was just a fantasy story
Very interesting - especially as I live in Devon and have never heard of this. Devonport dockyard is in Plymouth - I live in the city of Exeter, which is about 70 miles from Plymouth. These days you would rarely find any footprints in snow, as the last time we had any significant snowfall in Devon was about 12 years ago... also, I was a bit confused by the mention of Dorset. The county of Dorset borders Devon. We're both in the Southwest of England, but Devon isn't in the county of Dorset.
satan was just looking for a party but found that everyone in the area was lame as hell so he flew away. simple. maybe they’d have a solid explanation if they all weren’t nerds.
there actually is a very scientific theory on what caused these tracks: people. as in, it was all faked. in victorian england any farmer wouldve been able to make a little wheel with fake (or even real) animal feet on it and rolled it for dozens of miles whilst wandering the area. making these marks on houses is also easy with some mud or paint. why? bc it's a prank. people have pranked eachother forever. guy probably thought he was hilarious.
I’m local to this area and it was probably the Beer Badger - he tramps down off the moors looking for people who’ve had too much to drink, sneaks into their houses to bash them over the head with his club and poop in their mouths… when they wake the next morning they have no recollection of his visit!
i remember reading about this when i was 13 yrs old scared the you-know-what out of me that night ... i imagined that 'devil' jumping up on its hoof and looking into my bedroom window ( the story i read said it had just ONE hoof ; thus the straight line of prints)
I'm not sure if anyone pinpointed this theory but I'm imagining a bird of prey trying and failing to snatch prey, dragging it for awhile over rooftops and haybales, then finally getting some lift and soaring off with it's catch. It certainly couldn't pick up a full size ungulate, but a fawn seems plausible.
James Troup is a compelling narrator, but he needs to be given some better writing & research to read from: a lot of these presentations have often had serious flaws in them. James is this series' best asset, by far, so give him material worthy of his abilities.
James, sir, you are the star of this fantastic show!! You're voice is smooth as silk and you're def not bad on the eyes !! I wouldn't be surprised if you had your own fanclub soon!! 😉But seriously, this is a scary one 😳 because there's no explanation for those tracks!!! After all these years! It's just creepy 😬
Hey I live Pennsylvania and for 2 winters I’ve seen these same tracks different places but places I’m at. Where I was is in this city ain’t no horses for 20 miles not goats anywhere unless it’s had a zoo that’s about 1 hour away from me. These 2 places are 20 min apart. Idk it was freaky. 1 line of hoof tracks. It was weird.
I mean it seems a vast jump from Kangaroos all the way to the devil but...I would be interested in learning what the folks in other places where they found prints thought them to be. The devil also seems to be having a rough time finding folks.
On the kangaroo theory, could a kangaroo even jump high enough to get on the roofs of houses? I'm definitely certain they couldn't just go up the sides of walls to leave those prints. Now I'm no kangaroo expert and could be wrong, but if I am I will now have a new fear of kangaroos.
harmless walking and vanishing foot prints that cant be explained can be creepy for back in the days when things like that had less appearance and why they feel that way when seeing them,but now a days there's alot of myth creatures and unexplained things and why would the devil walk on cold winters and disappear if he consider to be so evil leaving foot prints on houses too x.x" i think there is other mythical creatures that have 2 hoofs aswell. just cause in that time period that all they believed in was christianity means it was that,but interesting story.
What I find interesting is that the foot prints have only been found in snow? I know hell is hot so maybe if it was the devil it must’ve been attracted to snow because of the cool temp.

Yeah, I was definitely hearing echoes of the Spirit of Detroit hoax from the 1980s.
How can you prank this ?
On the roofs and for 100 kms then just disappearing?
Troup has an amazing voice. It makes the videos more interesting. To me, he's the best addition to the channel since the boys left.
Always a pleasure to hear James Troup! *-* this series is amazing!
Kiss him passionately, intertwining tongues!
Perfect way to start a Saturday. A calm and soothing voice always helps with the stress of a long work day.
I’ve seen these tracks and I can confirm, the devil wears prada
😄
This guy has such a cool voice. Can you read me a Bedtime Story James?
Yeah but it's too slow for a dull plodding script like this.
It's Nazir from Skyrim
@@megakristof3855 no it's not its perfect. He sounds like Dennis Haysbert from the Allstate Commercials.
@@robertusthemac yeah he sounds exactly like Nazir Lol
and very handsome too 🤭
This man is an absolute treasure. His clear diction, his attention grabbing yet deep tones. Please include this man more in your vids! 🖤
Come here moon kissed give me a moon kiss 💋 🥰
This guys voice is just chefs kiss for this type of story telling
Just give the entire channel to James. His voice is soothing.
I love James voice it’s relaxing to listen too. You have to use James from now on now for every story.
Were the prints staggered or parallel as illustrated? Because I can't imagine how a bipedal animal would make parallel prints unless they were jumping/ hopping (like the kangaroo)? bc that's what's making me think it was an object
my thoughts exactly
if it was a joey the sudden stopping of the tracks could be the sad reality that a bird of prey swooped down and took it
I was in Mexico taking a walk a couple years ago. I was walking on a dirt road when I noticed their were footprints on the ground. They were hoove shaped like a horse or a goat. The footprints were straight just like in the video. Then all of sudden the footprints stopped like if it just flew away….. I’ll never forget that. It was so creepy!!

They were two footed as well.
Where in Mexico?
I believe it where in Mexico ?
You got nothing better to do Isabel?
Any photos?
Went from deer to horse to beaver to kangaroo. They all have very noticeably different tracks from each other. 😂
I like Mr Troup. Great voice and classy look. I hope we get more of his content. Thank you for the videos sir 🎩

Even the devil himself can't do anything about climate change.
Americans and Brits are woefully (and sometimes willfully) ignorant of each other's geography.
I’m from Dorset and I remember reading a wiki page about this and creeping myself out 😬😬
I was searching for an anime but watched the whole video his voice is. Amazing 🤩
His Voice!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
The man with the golden voice!
Thanks for another video.
Wow! The voice of this guy is awesome!!!👏👏👏👏🙂
I love these videos when narrated by mr Troup, I hope he does audiobooks as well, I would listen to him reading the phone book!
His voice gives me such security, like a big warm blanket hugging me. The storytelling talent is immaculate 🎉😊❤
I love this guy's narrating
Came for the story, stayed for Mr. Troup’s narration.
Much love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰😎

Except that his footprints walking beside the roller would have left tracks
Looks like you didn’t pay attention to the video at all or you didn’t make it to the end.
@Adam Greene and were ballerina dancers, able to walk on their toes (hooves) over snow and rooftops?
Yea no cant really explane it
Oh yea I like this man. He’s gotta great voice
This wonderful narrator is the only reason I watched the vid👏
I like your voice James 🥰
Troup + Ryan and Shane would have been epic
What a voice. Can listen to it for a long, long time.
A very good tale, I wa aware of this story but your retelling was excellent.
Dude sounds like a superhero.
More of James narrating please!
Wow this guys voice is solid gold, trimmed in velvet.
This was excellent
My theory is that it's just a bird that happened to find some weird shoes. Flew off after hopping around for a while.
Good old british folklore is honestly the best
I’m local to this area and it was probably the Beer Badger - he tramps down off the moors looking for people who’ve had too much to drink, sneaks into their houses to bash them over the head with his club and poop in their mouths… when they wake the next morning they have no recollection of his visit!
I love this dude
I love ya back!
OMG! Ur one of the actors who used to work for Dhar Mann! I watch some videos of U in it! Ur amazing,Mr. Keep up your great work
im from Devon UK live on the area the tracks went threw amazing history.
I really like this guy. He is a great narrator
love james!
this is pretty good
I do love the Haunting History series!!
In both those cases teenage demons laughed and laughed.
And that was it
He’s my favourite
James Troup is a very good narrator, with a cool calming voice. But no one can replace THE BOYS!
Best narrator! Smooth like butta!!😉
I really like this narrator
Everybody awoke to “Bob Ross paintings”
Why could it not have been a Faun from Greek mythology?
i remember reading about this when i was 13 yrs old
scared the you-know-what out of me that night ...
i imagined that 'devil' jumping up on its hoof and looking into my bedroom window ( the story i read said it had just ONE hoof ; thus the straight line of prints)
So interesting
Hoax, but still such a great ghost story
Could just be the footprints of a Dino 🦖 ghost?
wow that was so interesting
I actually read this in an old book
I bet Mr Troup could teach Tax Law & still hold me enraptured by his voice.
I fell asleep every day in accounting, so ummm.... 😂
Devon and Dorset is beautiful area of Britain

I could look at your face all day❤️
can confirm, it was satan, we were playing that weird human game where we jump over each other, hence the tracks looking like something hopped around

Must have been bugs bunny walking on walls.
James need a podcast all to himself he was born to present
Take alot of the claims such as going up walls, roofs, spanning roughly 100 miles and suddenly vanishing with a large pinch of salt.
They even stopped at several house/farm windows seemingly to peer in before climbing the outer walls and continuing on. 🇬🇧
