  1. Folklore - Biddy Early

    Share Share Post
    Biddy Early was a witch who lived near Feakle. It was believed she was with the Fairies.
    She cured all kinds of diseases. She had a magic bottle and she'd look through it and she'd see the person who wished to be cured inside it. If the person was standing inside in it he would be cured and if he wouldn't the person would die.
