[edit] Mice

Just wondering if there is an error here - the link for Hopping Mice refers to a page that describes them as an Australian mammal, yet the incidents of Devil's Footprints occurred in England and other parts of the world.

Did the author mean generic mice that hop, or specifically Australian Hopping Mice mysteriously present in England?

It's been a while, but if I remember correctly, the actual species of mouse it was attributed to redirected to Hopping Mouse.

[Reply] The article is just saying that similar footprints have been made in Australia by Hopping mice and the link is there so people can read about hopping mice, doesnt necessarily mean that The Devil's Footprints are linked to Hopping mice - I think :) --222.152.237.163 07:56, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

What were hopping mice doing in Victorian Devon anyway? Totnesmartin 20:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Charles Fort

This story, and its original sources, are here: [1]. Fort is out of copyright, so I'm going to adopt, adapt and improve. Totnesmartin 20:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Done. Totnesmartin 23:17, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Size?

"These "footprints", measuring 1.5 to 2.5 wide" - inches, presumably? --81.102.216.3 19:05, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Inches indeed. Thanks for spotting that. Totnesmartin 15:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mass hysteria

Is there a source for the mass hysteria claim? And how would mass hysteria account for people out of contact with each other sseing the same thing? Something there doesn't add up. Totnesmartin 16:29, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
