The Nine O'Clock Horses

Leicestershire children were always told that if they weren't in bed before 9PM the Nine O' Clock Horses would get them!.... something that was even told to people my age when they were children! 

Some said the horses would take any wayward children away, others said that they were kidnapped and forced to work in local farms.... but what did happen?

This story follows one brave young girl who wants to see the 9 O'Clock horses for herself: will she survive being taken away? Will she be eaten alive? Will she be dragged off to Hell? Find out in this month's episode!
