I loved a story quoted on another forum. It seems the Kidsgrove bogget took a dislike to a plastic boat and when it tried to enter a (ghost) working boat appeared coming down the tunnel towards it. This happen at least twice (boat entering, reversing rapidly then, as GB had not appeared, re-entering). After two ins and backs, when BW climbed on the plastic boat and told him to enter so he could witness what others were seeing, the tunnel barrier slammed down in front of the boat and was unmovable. Finally, when the boat owner turned and headed away vowing never to return the barrier opened itself and all the metal boats waiting entered without the ghost boat reappearing. I guess the bogget has taste!
