“It is surprising what stories one hears...”
(continued from previous page)nothing to do with their places of abode.
There is another story told of a man who cut down all the trees on a fairy rath and all the bushes that were growing there as well. About a week afterwards he got a great lightness in his head and then he got pains all over his body and he sent for the doctor and he came and when he examined him he found nothing the matter with him, but the man told him that there was everything the matter with him. He got all weak and pined away and the doctor did all in his power for him and it was no use. Not long after this he died and and the, the doctor couldn't make out what he died of.
So it is very unlucky to have anything to do with fairies.
