... that Jenny Hurn(pictured) in Lincolnshire, England, is said to be haunted by a boggart that crosses the
River Trent in a dish propelled by oars the size of teaspoons?
Source: "boggart-haunted Jenny Hurn Bend ... 'Jenny' was a long-lived Trentside legend, a water sprite called a 'boggart,' diminutive but dangerous, here 'described' by the pioneering folklorist Ethel Rudkin (1893-1985) .... occasionally crosses the river from the western side, embarked in a small craft resembling a large pie-dish. The pygmy propels the dish rapidly across the stream by means of a minute pair of oars, the size of teaspoons" from: Turner, Derek (7 July 2022).

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough, well sourced and neutral. It's plagiarism free (Earwig 0%) and the hook is cited and interesting. (It might be nice to hyperlink boggart, and/or perhaps add in pie before dish, but neither is neccessary.) The picture used is under free licence, it is clear. QPQ is done. Lovely article.
