The Buggane of St Trinian's

St Trinian's Church, near Crosby, Isle of Man

A hairy giant who kept tearing the roof off a church.

Manx legend says that every time the roof was put on St Trinian's Church, a huge hairy monster called a buggane tore it off. A brave tailor bet he could sew a pair of trousers inside the church in one night.
