  1. The Cleedack is an old field at the end of our farm. One morning about two o'clock, a man prepared to go mowing hay. It was a moonlight night and the man thought it was about 7 o'clock.
    When he was passing this place he saw bright light in the fence. He began to run, but a fairy-woman jumped out over the fence. She stopped him. He done his best to pass her but he was not able to pass her.
