Here is an old myth/legend about a church in the UK
It runs along the lines of 'assistance' but from a slightly alternative source;
Thriplow Church
The church was, according to legend, going to be built at the bottom of the village until the
'Devil' interfered and took the building materials to its present less than convenient location on
top of the hill above the village where it sits close to the ancient burial mound - 'Trippa's' burial
mound.

From what I remember of reading more of this legend, it was said that many attempts were made to build the church where the people wanted it, but each
morning they would find all the work relocated.. until they finally gave up and carried on building it in its current position.
But why blame the devil?
Why did they not believe that God wanted the church on a higher position to be closer to God?
The possibility of an alien intervention may never have crossed their minds.
Even so, wether it was God, the Devil or aliens, someone/thing wanted this church built elsewhere.
What made these people create this legend? What made them pass the blame on to the Devil?
