- One night about eleven o'clock two men were saying the Roasary when they heard their pigs going through the street. They rose at once and went after them but could not turn them homeward. They followed them for two or three miles and when they despaired of getting them home they turned homeward in hopes of finding them in the morning but when they reached the pigsty their pigs were there fast asleep. The pigs they had been following were Ghosts that were leading the to a Fairy fort that was in the district.
