Urban LegendsI'm ashamed to admit it, but I fell for the "Bob Holness played the saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street" story some years back. It just seemed so right. I still want it to be true.
What have you fallen for, or even better, what legends have you started?

Devil DoshersIn the small Welsh valleys village I am from there was talk of 'Devil Doshers' lurking in the mountains and doing all sorts of evil and satanic things (sheep slaughter, etc).They were rumoured to wear white robes with red crosses and the mere mention of them sent shivers up the spine of every child.
The sight of a faded red fence post on one of the mountains (which looked eerily like blood to 10 year old eyes) was enough to send us hurtling back to civilisation as fast as our legs could carry us.
It was probably for the best that we didn't go up the mountain too often anyway, what with Chris Egan's (one of the bigger boys) penchant for feeding vodka to children to the point of coma.
