When I'm not at school, I'm a part-time investigator of Cornish Mythology. My first adventure involved the Beast of Bodmin Moor, said to be a large wild cat, but I have always wanted to find Morgawr, the Cornish sea monster. There are so many myths in Cornwall, from pixies to giants, from crop circles to stone circles and tales of lost lands and mysterious places thought to be linked to King Arthur. I think I am going to be busy! ARCHIBALD BURKE: TEENAGE MYTH HUNTERMy Parents: My Parents run a guesthouse on the northern cliff of Mevy. It has three guest rooms and I live at the top of the house in the loft room that has a window with views over the village, onto the harbour and out to sea. Sometimes when somebody at school asks where I live, I just give them a postcard showing the harbour with fishing boats and houses on the northern cliffs behind and I draw a circle where my bedroom window is! ARCHIBALD BURKE: TEENAGE MYTH HUNTER Uncle Bob: Uncle Bob is a fisherman. He inspires me with his tales of sea-serpents, shipwrecks and ghost ships. I decided to be a vegetarian when he took me fishing and I saw a thousand wriggling fish in the nets! ARCHIBALD BURKE: TEENAGE MYTH HUNTERTom Merrit: He has been my friend all my life. He likes to think he can talk his way out of every situation, emphasis on the words 'he likes to think.' He's smart at school and good at sport and computers. His dad supplies us with some great gadgets, like our electronic pea shooters! ARCHIBALD BURKE: TEENAGE MYTH HUNTER Amanda Jackson: Amanda is my age too. To be honest, I have a bit of a crush on her (I'd die if she reads this!). I'm not sure if she feels the same way. She is always asking questions and has taught me to do the same. I guess she is the cautious one. ARCHIBALD BURKE: TEENAGE MYTH HUNTER Peter Bagley: Peter is a good friend too. He lives with his grandparents in Church Street. He can be quite outrageous. He dyed his hair bright orange! I have a feeling he will grow up to be a mad scientist! ARCHIBALD BURKE: TEENAGE MYTH HUNTER Together we are the MYTH HUNTERS! ARCHIBALD BURKE: TEENAGE MYTH HUNTER
