BRITISH LEGENDS AND FAIRY TALES
THE WELL OF ST. KEYNE
Cornwall
It is whispered that the spirit of a broken-hearted maiden cannot rest; it appears as a white hare to
haunt her deceiver and, invisible to others, follows him always until he meets his end. But down
among the fisherfolk of the west this ghostly visitor plays a more kindly part. After sundown it will
flit, eerie but harmless, among the up-drawn boats by the water's edge, or through the still
byways of the port, a warning to all sea toilers of tempests that will surely follow, to the
destruction of the heedless.
In some parts of Britain it used to be said by the cunning folk that when a pure maiden who had
loved a man with all her heart and soul is forsaken or is betrayed by him, then her spirit returns in
the form of a white hare to haunt that man bringing him misery and death.
The ghostly hare follows the deceiver wherever he goes.  The white hare is said to be visible to
the deceiver and usually invisible to almost everyone else.
