As it is #FolkloreThursday (apparently?) now seems a good time to mention that my hometown has not just ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ but ๐™ฉ๐™ฌ๐™ค big legends which are fairly well known. These are:

๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜“๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ
๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Š๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ ๐˜“๐˜ข๐˜ฅ

๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜“๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ is a fairly traditional hero vs. "dragon" story which has the odd distinction that in this instance the "dragon" is inadvertently created by the "hero".

I think it resembles a truncated version of ๐˜‰๐˜ฆ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ง, but your mileage may vary.

๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Š๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ ๐˜“๐˜ข๐˜ฅ is a ghost story with its roots firmly in the Late Middle Ages and associated with the (now almost completely ruined) Hylton Castle. In later years the ๐˜Š๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ ๐˜“๐˜ข๐˜ฅ is alleged to have terrified miners returning home from the night shift.

Whatever the truth behind these legends, they make for compelling tales nonetheless and are well worth reading about if they pique your fancy. Indeed, if you wait a bit longer I may just end up making a video or two about them....
