When my great grandmother was alive, she lived in an old home with one of those wells with the bucket on a rope. My mother used to tell us that a man named Baggy Eyes and Bloody Bones lived in the well, and if we got too close he would get us. It kept my cousins and me from getting too close and falling in. To this day, I have a terrible fear of those wells.
