Laughing at your Knight Rider comment and I completely get what you say about compassion fatigue or whatever else you might call it. There is only so much space in my head.

Not long ago I spotted a book in Waterstones in Lancaster called something like 'Mysteries of Lancashire'. One of the 'mysteries' listed was the 'headless woman' statue in the Priory churchyard in Lancaster.

It's not a mystery at all. It was a perfectly normal statue (reclining figure) with a head (I have a photo of it). It got broken, presumably vandalised. They refixed it, it got broken again (almost certainly vandalism, then); they stopped trying. The head's probably inside the church somewhere. But now it's in print it's 'officially' a mystery.
