  1. Story about a Witch

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there lived a witch. She used wear a white cloak and she had teeth six inches long. Any one that past at night she would kill them. She would set upon a big rock looking if their was anyone coming. She had nine men killed in one year. One day a man told the priest about it. One night when he was passing, he saw her upon a rock and she was coming of to kill him. The priest turned the witch into a devil of the air. He then turned her into the sea with her legs upwards, before she would turn any boat.
