    Story 13 February 1938
    Told by Beth McKeague
    There is a woman who lives beside us, and whose name is Cassie Doherty. One day, she picked bluebells in a fairy hill, and she broke some of the stalks. She went to bed that night, but in the morning there was not any hair on here head. Its grew again, but it was never the same colour afterwards.
