A large moor-stone rock was known as the "Pixies' church." The people of the town said that if you place your ear to the stone you could hear their church bells ringing. The music could be heard best from a hole in the rock called the belfry tower. A man who wanted to build onto his decided he would break off some of the rock from "the Pixies' Church," No one wanted to help the man deconstruct the church so he made his sons help him. Everyone who removed the rock would suffer the wrath of the Pixies. The old mans livestock was reduced to little more than skeletons. Exactly as the clock struck twelve, he heard a noise something like the humming of bees at the kitchen door; and directly after perceived a little creature, very diminutive, but shaped like a human being, come forth through the key-hole. The pixies' are said to look act like little demons. they stripped every animal of its skin and ate all but their brains until alas the old man took down the stone which belonged to the pixies. The next morning the Pixies' Church stood as if he had never disturbed it, but the old man fell into a depression unlike any other and soon passed away."The Belfry Rock; or, The Pixies' Revenge" written by ?
