The villagers whispered that a knucker dwelled at the bottom of the pond, waiting for anyone who came too close.

Old fishermen tell tales of knuckers that haunt the marshes at dusk.

The children dared each other to drop a pebble into the old knucker hole by the marsh.

The shepherd warned the children not to play near the knucker holes along the marsh, because they were deeper than they looked.

Locals still tell children to avoid the old knuckerholes near the marsh at night.

Children in the village whispered that the fishermen avoided the knuckerhole after sunset, fearing the creature said to live there.
