It is also said that a boy of fourteen went purposely to the fort to take a branch of a tree which grew in the fort in Stonestown, and when he came back he had grey hair, and his left hand was dead. It was with this hand he lifted the stick.Lights have been seen at these forts. It is said that "Jack the Lantern" was seen in them several times.
