每个人的家乡都会有一些鲜为人知的传说，有的和历史有关，有的和宗教有关，还有的甚至耸人听闻。今天的Reddit精选帖我们来看看国外的网友给我们分享了哪些家乡的传奇故事。

你的家乡有什么让你印象最深刻的都市传说吗？说起每个人的家乡，很多人都会侃侃而谈，有赞不绝口的美食，也会有数代人口口相传的历史故事。今天的日常英语内容要带大家一起听听reddit上外国网友讲述的自己家乡的传说故事。

1.恶魔的脚印

My family has a church in the city of Zulling, Bavaria, Germany. There are patches of grass next to the church, but there are no long grasses in two places on the grass. People said that in the past there had been a thief who had entered the church, killed the priest, and escaped from the window. But as soon as he stepped onto the grass, he was instantly killed by thunder. Since then, he hasn’t been in the grass before. The locals call these two places demonic footprints.

我家在德国巴伐利亚州的Zulling市，市里有座教堂。教堂旁边有块草地，但草地上有两处地方没有长草。人们说以前曾经有小偷进了教堂，杀了神父，从窗户逃跑了。但他一踏上草地，就立刻被雷劈死了。从此以后，他站过的地方就没在长草了。当地人把这两处地方叫做恶魔的脚印。

2.闹鬼的阁楼

A: The library of the Lord’s home has a history of more than 200 years. Everyone says that it is haunted. The attic of the library is large and dark, and often pigeons die there. The local newspaper once had a haunted story of this library, even "there is a picture and the truth." 

答主老家的图书馆有着200多年的历史，人人都说那里闹鬼。图书馆的阁楼又大又暗，经常有鸽子死在那里。当地报纸曾登过这座图书馆的闹鬼故事，甚至还“有图有真相”。

When the Lord was young, the library often held events in the summer. Everyone locked the door and spoke ghost stories together in the attic. When there are many people, this is of course very fun. However, when he grew up, he became an employee of the library. He often went to the loft at night to check if anyone stayed there. The staircase to the attic has a door. When the Lord has several times in the attic, the door is automatically closed.

答主小时候，图书馆在夏天经常会举办活动，大家锁上门，一起在阁楼里讲鬼故事。当人很多的时候，这固然很好玩。但长大后，答主成了图书馆的员工，经常要晚上一个人上去阁楼检查是否还有人呆在那里。通向阁楼的楼梯有扇门，答主有好几次在阁楼上的时候，这扇门都自动“嘭”地一声关上了。

3.神秘的桥

There is an Owton Bridge in Scotland. It is said that if the dog walks on the bridge, the dogs will jump off the bridge and commit suicide. And this kind of thing has indeed happened at least 50 times. Most people do not like to walk this bridge. Others have said that they will feel inexplicably frustrated when they walk through this bridge. A man once threw his son who was still in Yuzhong on this bridge and claimed that his son was an antichrist. The explanation given by the locals is that this place is an “enchantment”, that is, the contact point between the spiritual world and the real world.

苏格兰有一座欧沃顿桥，据说如果在桥上遛狗，狗子们就会从桥上跳下去自杀。而这种事确实已经发生了至少50次了。一般人都不喜欢走这座桥，也有人说过，他们走过这座桥的时候会莫名地觉得沮丧。有个男人曾经在这座桥上把自己还在襁褓中的儿子扔了下去，声称自己的儿子是敌基督。当地人对此的解释是，这个地方是个“结界”，也就是灵界与现实世界的接触点。

4.捞月人

People in Wiltshire, United Kingdom, are called "fishers." This is because in the 18th century, local smuggling was very serious. Smugglers would hide wine barrels containing French brandy in the lake and fish them out at night. Once, these smugglers were caught by the police and they said they were fishing on the lake (the moon). The police thought that these people were mentally retarded and they left.

英国威尔特郡的人被叫做“捞月人”。这是因为在18世纪，当地走私情况很严重。走私者会将装着法国白兰地的酒桶藏到湖里，到了晚上再捞出来。有一次，这些走私者被警察抓了个现行，于是说道，他们正在捞飘在湖上的芝士（也就是月亮）。警察以为这些人是智障，于是便走了。

看了Reddit上外国网友分享的这些传奇故事，感觉大多数都带着一层恐怖色彩，真是不敢想象。你有什么家乡的传奇故事要和大家分享呢？
