Aren't #4 and #28 the same thing? Anyway, I don't know quite a lot of them like #21, 33, 36, 37, 40, 41, 43.

I didn't see the Headless Horseman on the list, but that may be more of a literary thing that's more known around here because of Sleepy Hollow (in New York state).

29 is unfamiliar. So is 37. Actually I actively study mythology and have also read all Hаrrу Pоttеr books, LОTR and the Еrаgоn trilogy, besides following a new YouTube channel called Mоnstrum. I suppose that's why I might know more than normal.
