Calderdale
is a rum-old place. Its valleys and towns are filled with tales of UFO's, legends of Robin
Hood, witches and falling fish.
This section of Calderdale-Online is our tongue-in-cheek attempt to catalogue
at least some of Calderdale's weirdness and in particular its continuing contribution to fortean lore.
Many of the stories mentioned here (specifically all those marked with the symbol shown opposite) are covered in much greater detail in the excellent publication 'Weird Calderdale'.
We are extremely grateful to the Author, Paul Weatherhead, for his work on several of the stories featured in this section.
