Older residents of the region know that Horsingdon Hill is best avoided at this season. Not only are the guardians of the Black Bowers engaged in their dubious ritual preparations during this time, but the infamous Faceless Witch of Horsingdon Woods is particularly active in the lead up to the celebration of the Yule festival.
Little is known about this strange and mysterious entity, other than the fact that, for at least two centuries, the witch has figured heavily as a sinister portent of doom in the Yuletide folklore of the borough.
Needless to say, any reported manifestation of the Faceless Witch predicates some terrible misfortune - at least for those unlucky enough to encounter this entity's spectral presence. No doubt the above photograph - which appears to have captured the Witch on film - will likewise precipitate the notification of the Horsingdon constabulary of the disappeaance of one or more casual ramblers in the vicinity of the Hill. Inevitably, such reports will be forgotten, purposefully misfiled, or even destroyed - for over the years, too many of the local police force have gone missing during the festive season, often after having been asked to investigate a similarly alleged crime - one with no clearly defined victim, perpertrator, or motive.
