  1. Biddy Early was a witch who lived near Feakle. It was believed that she was with the Faires.
    She cured all kinds of diseases. She had a magic bottle and she'd look through it and she's see the person who wished to be cured inside in it. If the person was standing inside in it he would be cured + if he was lying down he would not be cured.
