The grave of Ann 'Kitty' Jay. It is said that she hung herself (or walked into the water and drowned). The story changes depending on who you talk to. Because it was suicide, the parish did not allow her to be buried in any of the church grounds. Instead, they buried her at the crossroads to prevent her from haunting. No matter the time of year, there is always fresh flowers on her grave. Noone knows who lays them. At night, people have said they have seen a strange hooded figure kneeling by the grave.

Love the peace around Kitty Jays grave, walked over from Warren House by Hookney Tor to Jay's Grave, on to Hound Tor, by Bonehill Rocks down to Widdecombe village, nice coffee there, crackin' old church too, up and back via Hameldown and Grimspound, beautiful scenery for sure, welll recommend, happy Al & pup💛🐾☕️👣❤️

The story of Kitty Jay is a sad one but there are always fresh flowers on her grave to brighten it up and remember her and her baby. How they get there is one of the mysteries of the moor. You will find other strange things on the grave as well!

I've done many ghost hunts here at night.. We still don't know who leaves the fresh flowers everyday! Always leave a gift when visiting this grave, for respect.. Its Full of myths, legends and stories. Its Very close to Bowermans Nose/Hounds Tor... The Hound Of The Baskervilles! But that...
