    Forts
    My great-grandfather knew a woman who cut sticks in a fort on her farm. When leaving the field someone knocked her down. She saw no one. Soon after she died.
    Farmers are very superstitious about tilling fields, in which there are forts; because they say ill-luck comes from any interference with these forts.
