Jenny Gallows' Pit - The Ghost That Waited for the Eighth Circuit - Dark Folklore

High on the white cliffs of Flamborough Head lies a lonely hollow known as Jenny Gallows' Pit. At first glance, it appears to be nothing more than a shallow depression in the earth. But for generations, local people believed it was haunted by the restless spirit of a young woman named Jenny Gallows. Children whispered that anyone who ran around the pit nine times would hear the fairies. Yet an older, darker legend warned that the real danger came long before the ninth circuit. On the eighth... Jenny herself was said to climb from the pit. In this Dark Folklore episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore one of Yorkshire's most unsettling forgotten legends, the chilling rhyme attributed to Jenny Gallows, and the terrifying story of the farmer who dared to mock the old superstition—only to discover that some legends are best left untested. Was it simply an old fireside tale... or did something truly haunt the lonely cliffs above the North Sea?
