  1. Many years ago there lived a landlady in my village who was very cruel. She had carried out many evictions in my district. When she died her grave though made the usual length would not hold her coffin so that one end of the coffin was placed in the grave and a mound a stones had to be built around the other end which can be seen to this day. It is supposed that the curse of the many she had evicted had shown itself in this way.
