A certain area over the moors has been dubbed the UK's Bermuda Triangle after several planes went down, with dozens killed.
One crash site remains at the metal graveyard, that of the Bleakblow Bomber, AKA Over Exposed, a US Air Force B-29 aircraft.
It went down while descending after it's thought the pilot believed they had cleared the hills due to poor vision amid thick clouds.
The plane had been used to capture footage of nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll before it met a gruesome end near Higher Shelf Stones in 1948.

Tragically the horror smash saw all 13 people on board die, including 11 crew, and debris from the aircraft is still there today.
Walkers can view the eerie crash site, strewn with parts of the plane's engine and parts.
Wooden crosses have been laid to pay respects and a memorial plaque reads: "It is doubtful the crew ever saw the ground."
But, this was just one of eight fatal plane accidents on the moors.

In just 17 years, 50 people lost their lives in ill-fate flights over the area and it was branded the 'UK's Bermuda Triangle'.
It is thought tricky weather conditions, difficult terrain to navigate and multiple air bases nearby culminated in the tragedies.
However, these days with modern technological advancements, it is considered a safe route - with no crashes since 1956.
The real Bermuda Triangle is one of the world's biggest natural mysteries.
THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE
It lies in a section of the North Atlantic Ocean and covers an area of 440,000 miles of sea.
It's one of the most heavily travelled shipping lanes in the world, with vessels crossing through to get to ports in America, Europe and the Caribbean.
Also known as the Devil's Triangle, it has been blamed for the disappearance of dozens of planes and ships in the past 100 years.
Reports of unexplained disappearances did not really capture the public’s attention until the 20th century when the USS Cyclops, a 542-foot-long Navy cargo ship with over 300 men on-board, sank somewhere between Barbados and the Chesapeake Bay.

At least 1,000 lives have been lost in the last 100 years.
On average, four aircraft and 20 yachts go missing every year.
There are multiple possible theories that explain the mysterious 'danger zone', from weather patterns to human error.

But the newest explanation is hexagonal clouds.
These are clouds causing terrifying 170mph winds air bombs powerful enough to generate waves of more than 45ft high.
Bermuda Triangle conspiracy theories
The paranormal - Some writers have blamed UFOs for the disappearances. They believe that aliens use the Triangle as a portal to travel to and from our planet. The area is like a gathering station where they capture people, ships and aircraft to conduct research.
The lost city of Atlantis - Theorists believe the fabled city once resided under the Triangle and mystical crystals which powered Atlantis are still resting on the seabed transmitting huge waves of energy that destroy the vessels on the sea above.
Gigantic structures under the sea - Paranormal explorers claimed they found a massive crystal pyramid lurking beneath the ocean in the Triangle. They implied this may be responsible for crashing ships and aircraft.
Souls of African slaves - One of the most significant theories is that the Triangle is made up of the souls of slaves who had been thrown overboard by sea captains on their journey to the States. In his book Healing the Haunted, Dr Kenneth McAll claimed that a haunting sound could be heard while sailing in the notorious waters.
Government testing - The US Navy's Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC) is located in the mysterious Bermuda Triangle. It's used as a hub to test submarines, weapons, sonar, secret projects and reverse-engineered alien technology, and some say it is behind the disappearances.
