Myths and legends from your ´hood, yo

I´ve been taking a look at various myths and folklore tales from around ze world recently, for various reasons. Irritatingly, Wikipedia articles tend to run to stuff like "Tsi'tgeh is a myth from America. This article is a stub." Guys, what you can do is this: recommend me some myths and legends that you like, especially from whichever awesome land from which you hail. I´m au fait with the hell hounds that supposedly hunt across the Welsh countryside, and the selkie and my ainself and what have you from British folklore, but I really need some backgrond information and ideas on other ethnic tales. Thanks.
