- (continued from previous page)fairies. People well known in the district, have seen them, and described them quite plain.
There are big lofts there, and when the fairies would come to them to dance. They lit lights akin to electricity of the present time.
They would remove all live stock from the yards and houses for the time being, and restore them when their dance would terminate.
From the description of eye witnesses, they were very small little men and women, and their numbers were past counting. Their music were three or four little men playing fifes.- Collector
