It's funny what we tell kids to deter them from doing things.
My little lad kept wondering and had a fascination with frogs. He used to venture to the lodge that is at the back of the spinning Jenny................
I stopped him even going off the backalley at one point. Then my friend that has lived up here all her life said her mum used to have the same problem with them as kids, terrified they would go to the lodge and drown. She told her kids there was a monster that lived in that water called "grizzly green teeth" and if any kids went near the lodge it came out of the water and sucked them under.......never to be seen again
Yes I told my lad this.......and what da ya know, he never went again
