- My grandmother told me she knew a witch who used to live near their home. One day two men were out hunting & they saw a hare. One of them had a gun & he fired at the hare & he hit her on the side, but she did not die.
The man was out shooting again & he saw the hare. He tried to shoot it but he did not kill it. He saw it another time & he put a sixpence in the gun. He fired at her & hit her on the leg. The hare went into a house in the wood & the men followed her & when they went into the house they saw a young girl sitting at the fire with her head down.
