".....One tells how the villagers in Stanney, Cheshire, were regarded as simpletons because they were too scared to walk down a country lane where a duck lived.
Finally, some of the local men decided to ambush the bird and cut off its head. But that only made things worse.
Villagers then complained they were frightened to use the lane ... because of the ghost of the headless duck."
And we wonder where the Monty Pythons got their inspiration...

Villagers then complained they were frightened to use the lane ... because of the ghost of the headless duck." That's nothing. There are whole areas of the usa where farmers are afraid to plow their fields because of the possible existence of the San Bernidino kangaroo rat.
