A 'hob-thross' lived in Millom Castle. He slept by the fire during the day, and worked all night, doing the chores the humans didn’t want to do. One harsh winter he was offered clothes, a terrible insult to a hob-thross, so he left.

Giants! There's quite a few tales in Cumbrian folklore.
My favourite: Giant's Cave, Penrith is associated with two giants called Tarquin and Isir lived on a diet of human flesh. A practice which lost its appeal when Sir Lancelot slew Tarquin in battle

If your cows are taken ill, they may be 'elf-struck' - shot with a faerie arrow.
According to Cumbrian folklorist Marjorie Rowling, elves got the arrows from faeries, who got them from mermaids.
