Yea i know one well many of where I came from. This is in the Hawaiian islands. Hope it is ok for me to tlk pigeon. well it goes like dis.... well this is on the Island of Maui and at the place, a cave in Wainapanapa there was a princess that was killed there from her husband. There when you go in the cave, you can swim and jump in if the tide is high, but people say that they seen bones under the water and it is true i went there, there were two parts of the cave like two opening on the one side and so the end opens at the ocean, I say there are two openings because, it is just one cave but just the middle of the cave comes down in the middle to the water. On the right side opening at the wall side there is a thrown and you can sit on it, but it is dark in there so you need a flash light. Also there are these biting red little shrimps that comes and people say they represent the blood of the princess who died, the shrimp comes only in April, my guess is that April was the month that the princess died.

Also there are other stories why not go to this cite:

Answer 3

u can go with the classics like cindrella or snow white
there is the legend of lake elsinore(i heard it from a teachur):once there was this woman who lived by the lake and she would walk all the way around it every night,but big investors thought a huge hotel would be great by the lake so they wanted to buy the land . the oid lady didnt want to sell so they forced her out of her house,tore it down in front of her and took her to the middle of the woods,where wolves ate her. legend has it that when they started to build the hotel construction workers would go missing(she was killing them off three at a time)so the hotel was never finished.today supposedly if u build on a particular part of the lake she wont let u finish the construction because it is where her house once stood and she still thinks the lake belongs to her

There is a legend in Mexico. The Aztecs were afraid of a woman dressed in a white gown with long hair and she appeared at nights screaming "AY MIS HIJOS" which means in English "AY MY CHILDREN. They were terrified of that apparition. The emperor Moctezuma called his priest and ask them about the apparition. They said to him, that his kingdom was doomed, that was a signal that the days of the great Tenochtitlan was over because men of other lands were sailing to come over. They call that woman "La Llorona" that means "The crier". And they were right, men from Spain were sailing to the coast of Mexico. They came and took over the land and the power. The great Tenochtitlan was defeated and conquered by the Spaniards. I hope that I help you and good luck.

Answer 5

Does a poem count? If so, "The Lady of Shalott" by Tennyson or "La Belle Dame sans Merci" by Keats. The story of Orpheus (spelling?) is pretty neat. When his wife died, he played his lyre so beautifully that Hades agreed to let her return only if Orpheus didn't turn around before they got outside. He did at the last minute and she was gone. I suggest typing in mythology on Wikipedia and clicking on interesting links.

Davey Crockett's tale of The Tame Bear -- Botkin's American Folklore.

THE creturs of the forest is of different kinds, like humans. Some is stupid and some is easy to larn. The most knowing cretur that ever I seed war a barr that my darter Pinetta picked up in the woods. It used to follow her to church, and at last it got so tame, it would come into the house, and set down in one corner of the fire-place to warm itself. I larned it to smoke a pipe and while it sot in one corner smoking, I sot in the other with my pipe. We couldn't talk to one another; but we would look, and I knowed by the shine of his eye what he wanted to say, though he didn't speak a word. The cretur would set up o'nights when I war out late, and open the door for me. But it war the greatest in churning butter. It did all that business for the family. At last it got so civilized that it caught the hooping cough and died. My wife went to the minister and tried to ge: him to give the barr a christian burial: but the skunk war so bigotted that he wouldn't do it, and I telled him the barr war a better christian thaa he ever war.

Answer 9

You could take a story from the bible, but people frown upon that for a few reasons. Hans Christian Anderson and the Brother's Grimm are famous for their legends, so you can do a yahoo search for either of them and take your pick. I like Paul Bunyan or any of the Greek myths. I like Hermes myself.
