What’s the truth behind the possibility of a tunnel
network under Leighton Buzzard town centre?
[…] Paul
Brown, chairman of Leighton Buzzard & District Archaeological &
Historical Society, said […] “There was a belief that there was a tunnel from
the Prebendal House [...] to Leighton House [...]. Choirboys at
All Saints had an initiation ceremony when they were shoved down some steps in
the churchyard (the alleged entrance to the tunnel) and told to walk along it
until they got to the High Street. These steps led down to the cellars of the
long demolished Prebendal House and inevitably after wandering around for some
time the hapless choirboys came back up into the All Saints Churchyard up the
same steps.” […]

H-files: Mystery of the Japanese submarine attacked by
the New Zealand navy off Canterbury
[…] Former
Radio Pacific talkback host Allan Dick said […] "I had started that day
talking about the landing by the Japanese on the coast of Ashburton in about
1944," he told the Herald on Sunday.
They held up a grocery delivery van … the only witness was the delivery van
driver. That's quite a widely known story in Ashburton; it's probably an urban
myth." […]

were also WWII rumors that hungry crewmen from a German U-boat would go ashore
near New Zealand’s Gisborne Harbour and milk
