| Summary: | fairy led Persons who for one reason or another are alone in the woods at night are likely to be "fairy led". This means lost or led astray. This is generally accepted among the older generation in Hr. Grace and surrounding areas. The present generation however, discredits this belief almost to a man. It seems to me that the sounds, and shapes of the woods at night, were attributed to the "fairies"; the woods was supposed to be their domain after nightfall. This means lost or led astray. DICT CEN.
