Lucy Breaden explores some of Tasmania's strangest and creepiest urban myths with writer and teacher Lyndon Riggall. Credits Lucy Breaden, Presenter David Reilly, Producer Image Details Mythical moths, ghosts and tall tales abound across Tasmania.(ABC News) Program:More from Hobart Drive Hobart, Penguin, Human Interest, Human Interest Transcript Lyndon Riggall Yeah, look, I've got a couple of favourites. I'm a teacher and we actually talk about the way that, you know, stories emerge and myths emerge and things like that, particularly in a Tasmanian context.

And of.
