Roman Roads, Coffin Paths & Sunken Lanes: Where Do They Lead? | Mysteries for Sleep

Tonight the desk is covered in old maps, and we go looking at roads that lead somewhere nobody can identify. Roman roads that run dead straight and then simply stop. Sunken lanes worn down to villages that are no longer there. A drove road that ends at a wall, a road printed in ripening wheat with no start or end, a paper town invented to catch a thief that later decided to become real. For each one I tell you what is actually on the map or in the record, and then which part of the popular story cannot be traced to anything at all. Twice tonight the answer turns out to be dull, and I give you that too. Nothing here is frightening, and nothing builds on anything else. If you fall asleep in the middle you have not missed a turning the rest of the road depends upon. 0:00 — Good evening 2:00 — Settling (a countdown from ten to one) 11:30 — The maps: roads that forget where they went 44:00 — Rain, until morning No adverts inside the video.
