A little place to put urban legends and myths you've heard of or just found and thought were interesting. I'll start this thing off.
Giant Bolster
Giants loom large in the folklore of Cornwall, and legend tells us that once upon a time the Penwith area was plagued with them. Of the two most famous, Cormoran, the wicked Giant of St. Michael's Mount was eventually dispatched by Jack the Giant Killer, but Giant Bolster is said to have succumbed to the wiles of a saintly woman!
Bolster must have been a truly enormous figure, since he could plant one foot on Carn Brea (the high hill just outside Camborne) and the other on the cliffs outside St. Agnes - some six miles away as the crow flies - he must have been about 12 miles high.
Bolster was a bad tempered and violent brute who terrorised the countryside and struck fear into the hearts of ordinary folk, but he met his match in the pious and chaste St. Agnes. He fell in love with her and pursued her relentlessly, but St. Agnes wanted none of it.
Sick of his constant attentions, St. Agnes told him to prove his love for her by filling up a hole in the cliff at Chapel Porth with his own blood. To Bolster that was an easy task. After all, he'd never miss a few gallons - but St. Agnes knew that the hole was bottomless and led into the sea below!
He stretched out his arm, plunged a knife into it and lay down to wait for the hole to fill up. It never did of course and eventually Bolster lost so much blood he died. Thus, St. Agnes was rid of his unwanted attentions but he left his mark behind. The cliffs at Chapel Porth to this day still bear a red stain, said to be from where his blood ran down into the sea.

One day, Sarah was walking home from
school
when
her boyfriend drove by and honked at her
to
get
in. She got in his car and he drove her to
the
lake. Her boyfriend said he was going to
tell
her
something very important. Sarah could
have
sworn
he was going to propose. However, he
flicked her off, pushed her in the lake and
yelled, "I am
breaking up with you, you ugly b***h!!! I
hate you
and I think that maybe you should
just end
your damn life!
DUMB b***h!!"
He laughed and drove off. It was
a
very cold day. Sarah climbed out of the
lake,
freezing
cold, and feeling the worst she had in her
entire
life. She got home went in a hot bath,
and slit
her wrists and died in the bathtub. Her
parents
yelled and screamed at her to get out
until
they
finally broke the door down. They saw no
body,
but
the entire bathroom was dripping with her
blood.
Her mom went insane and killed herself
three
days
later, her dad is in prison, accused of
murder.
Later
that week, Sarah's exboyfriend was taking
a
shower
when she came from the drain, rotting
and
bloody,
with a razor in her hand and
said
"Goodbye Jason."
She cut his throat before he could scream.
