    find their way. About twenty years ago a woman went astray in this place in the middle of the day. She was taking a near cut home across this way and she says although she came on sight of her own house several times she could'ent believe that she ever saw that house before. When she reached her home she thought she never felt so tired.
    Men often went astray here too. Some of them say that the only thing to do when this happens is to sit down and rest and take off your coat and put it on you in side out. You could then see your way clearly.
