    began to build a house beside the fort, but all he built during the day was thrown down at night, so he had to abandon the project. Lights have been seen in the fort and music and churning have been heard. Laughter and strange loud voices have been heard there also.
    One night a woman was bringing in clothes from a hedge near the fort, when several strange voices told her to go into the house. As she was going she could hear footsteps behind her but could not see anybody.
