I'm pretty sure Bodkin wasn't a true story. Stories like this often incorporate elements of imagination and creativity to engage readers or viewers rather than being factual accounts of real-life incidents.
It's hard to say for certain. You might have to do some research or look for expert opinions. Maybe it's inspired by true events but not a completely factual account.
I'm not sure specifically which 'bodkin story' you are referring to. It could be a very personal or a local story. Maybe it's about a person named Bodkin, or it could be related to an object called a bodkin, which was a long, pointed tool in the past.
Bodkin is purely fictional. The plot and characters are made up by the author's imagination. There's no real-life basis for it. It's all about creativity and storytelling.
