  1. Buried Butter as a Healer

    Share Share Post
    When I was at home I remember going with another girl to a certain man. This girl's brother had the "evil". This man had butter that was found in the bog. He gave a piece of it to the girl to cure her brother and she brought it home and whatever way it was used it cured the brother of the "evil".
