Description
Vixen Tor is a tor on Dartmoor, England. The rocky outcrop is said to resemble the Sphinx. There is a legend that a witch once lived there and lured travellers to their doom in a nearby bog. The tor is on private land. Since 2003 access by the public has been banned, causing protests and mass trespassing by hikers and climbers.
There is a legend that a witch named Vixana once lived in a cave at the foot of the tor that she had made the earth gnomes build for her. She was tall, bent and ugly. She delighted in calling up a mist to surround any traveller who passed the bog at the foot of the tor, so they would lose their way and be sucked down to their death. She met her fate when she tried to lure a handsome young man of the moor to his fate, but he had the power to see through the mist and to make himself invisible. He escaped and pushed the witch to her death on the rocks below the tor.Another version has the witch drowning in the bog into which she had lured so many people
