in the woods near Easington Village while shooting a documentary.
Some time later their footage was found and animated by local children.




Special Investigative film makers Shirley Holmes, Dr Witless and Carlo Moriarty,

THE LEGEND OF THE EASINGTON HARE

Easington, a village to the north of Peterlee in County Durham, England, was once the home of Nicholas Brakespeare, who later became Adrian IV, the only English Pope. The village is also associated with a curious piece of local folklore; `the Legend of the Easington Hare'. This strange little creature had been persistently hunted on numerous occasions throughout the countryside near Easington but it was extremely elusive, and always managed to escape. Men of Easington, fond of greyhound racing, had their sport habitually spoilt by the hare which drew their dogs into Glendene. Finally one day, a hound managed to bite the leg of the hare just before it escaped into a hole in the door of a nearby house. The men were determined to capture the mischevious pest and entered the building to search for it. To their astonishment they could only find an old woman nervously bandaging her wounded leg. The building was searched throughout and there seemed to be no way that the hare could have escaped. Only one conclusion could be made, the old woman was the hare, the hare was a witch !
