Folklore

According to legend, six girls and a fiddler went to dance on the mound on a Sunday, instead of going to church. As their dance became wilder their heads become stiff, their arms began sticking to their bodies, and then their legs began to sink into the ground. The fiddler in the middle suffered the same fate. Local residents rushed to the site but the group had turned to stone. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
