In 1921 a local medical officer was killed, after he lost control of his motorcycle. Several weeks after, another simillar incident was reported. By which a bus driver had also lost control, passengers were flung from their seats. Then, on 26 August 1921, an army Captain reported that a pair of invisible hands had taken hold of him and forced his motorcycle off the road. Many other cases of mysterious hands appearing and taking control of the vehicle have surfaced over the years. The myth is now known as “Hairy Hands”. What also should be said is that the local council had a report carried out on the road in question. It was found that the cambre of the road could, and most likely be the case of the sudden convulsions of the steering wheel.
