- One night about twelve oclock my father was going up the field for a calf. When he was going by the fort he heard the band playing and the fairies singing and dancing and he went on. When he was coming back the fairies were playing cards. The next night my grandfather was making a gap at the fort and he had a spade with him. He could hear the fairies singing. there was a big stone across the ditch and hit the spade and knocked it out of his hand and he dropped the spade and he ran home.
