“As late as 1885 people of this district commonly believed that fairies hurled at night but required a living man on each side.”
As late as 1885 people of this district commonly believed that fairies hurled at night but required a living man on each side. For this reason they called out certain athletic young men in different areas. These men from supposed loss of sleep and energy gradually declined in health and finally became invalids. They however lived long lives though weakly in appearance and from this arose the saying of "he's in the fairies" to one who though very delicate is still carrying on. From this also came the great fear of answering a call from outside by night. This is still common.
