- The following story was told to me by my father who is over 50 years of age.
In some years gone by three men from Cheekpoint went to the "Glazing Wood" for a thick stick. When they were coming home they left the stick down the ground until they would get a rest. They were there when a man came up and put his leg on the stick.
They told him to get off it but he would not. They even lifted up one end of the stick to knock him off it but they could not. One of the men lit a match to see who was there but there was nothing to be seen.(continues on next page) - Collector
