A man (Anonymous 425) riding to the parish of St. Nicholas, near Tanton, "saw just before him, on the side of the hill, a great company of People, that seemed to him like Country Folks," who seemed to be gathered at a fair. This fair had "Pewterers, Shoe-makers, Pedlars, with all kind of Trinkets, Fruit, and drinking Booths," and many of the goods there were unusual. The man (Anonymous 425) was "under very great surprize" for he could think of no fairs meant to be held there at that time of year, when it occurred to him that he was seeing "the Fairies on the side of that hill," (Anonymous 174) and he "resolved to ride in amongst them, and see what they were." As he approached the fair, he could see them all, "yet when he was upon the place where all this had appeared to him, he could discern nothing at all," but was instead thrust along "as when one passes through a throng of people." When he found himself at a distance again, however, it was no longer invisible, but "appeared to him again as first."(208-209)
