You're right. It should go firmly in the folklore section. We can't help it as rationale objective 21st century people, if people have had funny ideas about places in the past. But that doesn't mean to say those ideas shouldn't be recorded, as long as they're recognised as Not Strictly Factual. That's the thing about 'I read somewhere' or 'my friend told me' type anecdotes. Sometimes you take it for granted that they're true just because of where you heard them, and you don't process them through your 'yes right I don't THINK so' filters. There'll be stuff like this lurking on this site all over the place, not in its rightful folkloric home, I'm sure.
What am I waffling about? I'm not sure. I think it's relevant though.
