The Haunted Valley site, designed by local researcher Debbie Fair incorporates both local legends and data collected by myself over the past 15 years of fieldwork for my PhD at the University of Sheffield. The website features a unique "Real Time" Live Webscam Sky Watch, where visitors can "watch the skies" above the Devil's Elbow and take part in live skywatch sessions. The site can be visited at: www.hauntedvalley.com or alternatively www.ndirect.co.uk/~fair/longdendale/lightsinfo.htm This is a unique project, never before attempted outside of Norway's Project Hessdalen and should be on every ufologist's list of favourite sites. Longdendale is of course the home of the famous Longdendale Lights, mysterious moving lights of the spooklight/earthlight variety which have been observed by local people for generations. They have been the subject of searches of the barren mountains by police and mountain rescue teams, and have been connected with a variety of paranormal phenomena from ghostly Roman legions marching across the moors, the Devil (hence their local name 'the Devil's Bonfires') and ghost planes. This part of the Peak District is a rich source of UFO and ghost experiences and has a rich folklore dating back to the pagan Celtic period. The Haunted Valley's previous incarnation "The Longdendale Lights Website/Legends of Longdendale" received the "Best of the Web Award" and the "TNT 100 percent Weird Award" among others. It is regularly updated with new information, and welcomes contributions from new visitors....
