Story (12)

There is a field in Glashakinleen, and lights are seen in it; and lights can be seen coming towards it from the lios in Blueford. If anyone went in to that field at midnight he could not come out until sun rise in the morning.
It is said that is the fairies' playing field, and that is the punishment put on anyone by the fairies that goes into it when they need it.
