EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the annals of Norfolk history, two intrepid men emerge from the depths of Callow Pit, their faces etched with determination and relief. The legendary treasure of Southwood, long rumored to be hidden within the depths of this ancient quarry, is now in their grasp. One man, his chest heaving with exertion, triumphantly holds aloft the gleaming artifact, a golden chalice adorned with precious gems and intricate engravings. His companion, equally elated, looks on with awe and admiration. But their joy is short-lived. As they step out of the shadowy pit, a chilling presence looms over them. A black hand, seemingly out of nowhere, snatches the treasure from the victorious men, sending shockwaves of fear through their bodies. The men recoil in horror, their faces contorted in disbelief and desperation. The legend of Old Nick, the Norfolk Boggart or Pooka, a mischievous and malevolent spirit said to haunt the region's marshes and waterways, has struck again. The men's dreams of wealth and glory have been cruelly dashed, leaving them to ponder the true cost of their quest. This photograph, taken in the early 20th century, captures the essence of Norfolk folklore and the enduring allure of the unknown. The haunting image of the black hand snatching the treasure serves as a reminder of the ancient myths and legends that continue to shape the region's rich history and identity. The men's expressions of disbelief and fear are a testament to the power of the unknown and the enduring allure of the treasure that lies beneath the surface.
