A fine young man, in the neighbouring village of Ferry-hill, had been severely bitten by a cat, and he died raving mad.

With this mount he associates the familiar story of the offering of refreshment to travellers by its unseen inhabitants. There is a hillock or tumulus near Bishopton, and a large hill near Billingham, both of which used in former time to be "haunted by fairies." Even Ferry-hill, a well-known stage between Darlington and Durham, is evidently a corruption of "Fairy-hill."
