    (4) Behind the Mental Hospital there is supposed to be a Fairy Fort in a rock. It is said that a man went there to find it, but when he got there a cock crowed and a man with a gun gave him ten minutes to get out of the place.
    Other people say that a hound is guarding the fort. It has a key in its mouth and whoever can get the key out of its mouth will find the little door that the key opens
