Da Cromwells soldater for tre hundrede år siden tromlede gennem Keldale Valley i Yorkshire, søgte hele landsbyen tilflugt i Keldale Kloster. Sagnet fortæller, at et barn begyndte at skrige, og at landsbyboerne kvalte det af frygt for at blive opdaget. Nu er dalen atter hjemsøgt af et brutalt mord. 'Jeg gjorde det.
