- There is a fort at the end of our village. One night as a man called Tom, and his wife were passing this fort on their way home from town they heard strange music, and as they looked in towards the fort they saw fairies playing inside in it. They got very much afraid, and hurried home as fast as they could. They were only just inside and had the bolt on the door when they heard strange sounds outside.
