Did a turbine kill Jane Eyre's illegitimate child?

It seems that the Jane Eyre film costumes exhibition at Haddon Hall is quite a success. According to Derbyshire Times:

Film fans have been flocking to one of Derbyshire’s best loved stately homes to relive the romance of Jane Eyre.
Haddon Hall, which has been transformed in to Mr Rochester’s Thornfield Hall for three major productions, is hosting a costume exhibition until September 2.
Costumes from all adaptations of Charlotte Brontë’s classic Jane Eyre are on display, including three versions of the costumes worn by Jane Eyre and Mr Rochester and a selection of other outfits and accessories.
Period clothing enthusiasts will be able to see outfits from the 1995 film directed by Franco Zefferelli, the BBC 2006 mini-series starring Ruth Wilson and the latest 2011 film directed by Cary Fukunaga and starring Mia Wasikowska.
There is also an opportunity to take a Behind the Scenes Tour to see the hall from the film’s perspective and see which rooms were used in particular scenes.

Yahoo!'s Visit Britain also recommends a visit to Haddon Hall.

More on the Brontë moors turbine controversy. In The Telegraph & Argus:

Research into tranquillity at the University of Bradford has confirmed while the countryside on the urban fringe can be peaceful, it is threatened by illegal dumping and the presence of wind turbines and that these effects can be quantified.
But environmental groups, including Bradford Friends of the Earth, have agreed wind farms should be “sensitively sited”, but warned that the greatest threat to the countryside was climate change.
The announcement comes after the Brontë Society formally objected to Calderdale Council about proposals by Yorkshire Wind Power to replace turbines at its Ovenden Moor Windfarm with turbines double the size. (James Rush)

Svenska Yle (Finland) has an article about the Swedish and Estonian writer Mare Kandre:

Jag är tacksam för att Mattias Fyhr i dag får mig att se Kandres verk i ett så mycket bredare perspektiv där gotiken och skräckromantiken tar stor plats, där Kandre är mer eller mindre uttalat inspirerad av nyhetsartiklar hon läst, upplevelser hon haft, hon nämner ett flertal författare som hon läser med stor behållning, bland dem författarsystrarna Brontë, författare som Samuel Pepys, Virginia Woolf, Margaret Atwood och filmmakare som Werner Herzog och Andrej Tarkovskij, enstaka skräckfilmer som ”Poltergeist II” och science-fiction filmer som ”The Matrix” har haft stor inverkan på enskilda texter osv. (Marit Lindqvist)

Camgal interviews the author Emily Guido:

List your 5 best reads and why?
EG: Wuthering Heights  – Emily Brontë  – Heathcliff is the epitome of brokenness.  Like I said, I love male broken characters… I just want to reach out and hug them.
Jane Eyre – Charlotte Brontë  – I love the brokenness in Edward also.  Such luscious and wonderful portraits the author painted. (...)
Also, I have to say Emily Brontë because no character has ever made me cry more than poor Heathcliff… so twisted by life.

Karen Robards presents her latest novel on Romance at Random:

I love ghost stories. Always have, always will. Wuthering Heights, with ghost Cathy haunting Heathcliff, is one of my very favorite books ever.

Let's open the blogosphere round with the always interesting The Briarfield Chronicles which today discusses Anne Brontë's works: modern or conservative?; maupes (in Italian) reviews Wuthering Heights; A trip to the zoo talks about Wuthering Heights 2011; Reader's Realm posts about Jane Eyre; The Literary Omnivore reviews on of its sequels, Elizabeth Newark's Jane Eyre's Daughter; Book Angel Utopia creates a soundtrack for April Lindner's Jane; Alina Bobrowska photography publishes a beautiful Jane Eyre photoshoot and Le Blogbuster, humeursdefilles (both in French) and  kaleidoscope90 (in Italian) review Jane Eyre 2011.

The bizarre discovery of the day comes from Frankie Jones's twitter. She has discovered this plaque in Sutton-in-Craven, Keighley (located here), with the following text:

This house is believed to be the setting for the scene in Jane Eyre (deleted from some later editions) in which the heroine's illegitimate baby is devoured by an Alsatian.

It's a really elaborated joke/hoax (which even some newspapers take seriously), does anyone know what this is about?
