Well spotted, Harlequin!
It's good to see that even Channel Nine can come up with the occasional gem of a story |

Some fifteen miles from where I live lies the body of Meg Shelton - 'The Fylde Witch' who legend has it, on May 2nd. 1705 was buried upside down under a boulder stone in Woodplumpton's St. Anne's Churchyard. It is said that following her initial burial, she was found three times to have been attempting to rise from her grave. Hence the final upside down, perpendicular incarceration!
The boulder stone is still there for all to see and it is believed that if you run around it three times in an anti-clockwise direction, Meg will grant you one wish! If you should chance to visit Woodplumpton, do look at the stone. Touch it and run around it if you must - even have your photograph taken sitting upon it. But do not ever try to move it - YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT EVIL YOU MIGHT UNLEASH! Leslie
Stories....?....That's telling!

It reminds me the case of Princess Eleonore von Schwarzenberg, considered as a vampire.
