Ponters in Grenoside woods. Ever heard of them?


Recommended Posts

As kids we would venture into Greno' woods. there was a myth, legend type thing of 'Ponters' living in the woods that should be feared, we'd hear stories of people that had camped overnight in the woods being attacked by them.

I always imagined them to be some kind of sub-human (like someone from the deep south) that grunted a lot and had really bad teeth, probably living on a diet of acorns, chestnuts, and human flesh.

 

Anybody else heard of the Grenoside Ponters?

You might be right there Longcol.

Like Sheffield's own Bohemian Grove?

 

Nah.....................it wouldn't be the usual Molloch worship, child sacrifice, dodgy handshakes and symbolism .........I'm thinking more the local "courting" rituals.
