- (continued from previous page)man coming from rambling and as he was passing by one of those forts he heard the loveliest fiddle music ever he heard before. When he stood to listen to the beautiful music it stopped and when he began to walk away it started again.
A gentleman and a lady are to be seen walking up and down past the fort by night with arms linked and two big dogs walking behind each of them. The sound of churning have never been heard in these forts. In my father’s field there is a big square flag and a neighbor man had a dream about it that there was a crock of gold under it but he thought that it would not be right to touch it.
About two months ago there was a small woman seen by night walking up and down the road past the fort dressed in black.
