  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    One Hallowe'en night my aunt and one of her brothers were out looking for the cows. They were passing Oakhill fort when she saw a little child. She called to her brother who was some distance behind to come and see the little child but when they looked again it was gone. It must have surely been a fairy.
