  1. Miss Ferguson said - There is a bush in one of my fields. It is a fairy field. Many a time when my mother was living if any of the children went to the bush and plucked off a sprig, and if they cut their fingers in pulling it off, it would bleed until they would put the sprig unto the bush again. Many a time my mother would bring us into the house if we dared to go near the bush.
