When we were young & being naughty, our parents warned us to be good, otherwise the Gypsies would come & take us away. |

Dermot. Not so much an old tale. My Mother took me, her new born baby, a walk to the local butchers in my pram, with the dog tagging along. When she arrived back home my Grandmother asked where the baby (and dog) were, she hot footed back to the butchers, and there I was, sleeping soundly. The butcher said they had all been keeping an eye on me (and the dog) |

I don't know which newspaper first reported this - but I understood that the filming and possible kidnapping were separate incidents. |

The Bulgarian was in with the Scots wedding group The story started from a Glasgow paper and picked up by the Mail. The story about the abduction doesn't appear to be able to be substantiated at all, it is a Scots group who told their tale to the Glasgow paper. Looks like the stories are attributed to the same group. |

Whatever the truth is this is still a very 'scary story'. |

And also a reminder to take anything the Mail publishes with a large heap of salt. |
