Sty Head

Sty Head is a mountain pass in the English Lake District, in the county of Cumbria.

At the highest point is the confluence of paths from Wasdale, Eskdale, Borrowdale and Great Langdale.

Sty Head also forms an important navigational and safety point between Great Gable and Scafell Pike, with the placement of the Mountain rescue stretcher box at the head of the tarn.

Many local people have reported sightings of a strange man walking down the road with a bag moving "as if it contained cats".

Although this local legend has many credible reports, various investigators have come to no conclusion or proof when tracing the real cause of this apparition.
