  1. There was once a man who was taken by the fairies and this evening a woman went out for water and she was returning a fog arose and she could not get home. She was wandering around for hours and all the time she was approaching this fort. She could not understand them. She could see the man that was taken by the fairies and she heard him say "God help you." In the meantime her husband went out looking for her and found her before the fairies could take her.
