The Fairies Killed Them

Tweet

I recently came across an article that was unearthed by the Cumbrian Archives. I used to live in Cumberland, so found it quite interesting and funny. It states how some people met their deaths in the 1600's. Here are just a few of them. Bewitched; 7 duel with frying pans and pitchforks; 1 second with 3 legged stool and brown jug; 1 old age 57; 1 frightened by fairies; 4 overeating at a housewarming party; 1 Some of these tales can really give us a funny look into our ancestors, and their beliefs. I wonder what the fairies looked like.
