The devil. United Kingdom

The story was narrated by a woman named moyra Doorly, who visited the small island of Arran off the coast of Scotland, which has long called home of the fairies and the forest spirits.

Moira enjoyed beautiful views of the island, when suddenly I saw walking among the thickets of tall slender gray-haired man in a brown-striped clothing, and around this man jumped and danced a small creature similar to the so-called imps or imps. The more Moira looked at the strange company, the more she fell into an unusual condition resembling a trance and felt an overwhelming desire to go after these creatures.

She broke down and went to get them and that it was more like fell out of her memory. Moira woke up in an unusual place and was still there with that gray-haired man and his chertyatami:

"We were in the hall, which was carved out of stone, looks like we were inside the mountain. There was a long table with plates and mugs, and the imps spun around me and tried to get me to change, but I refused. Man in striped clothing stood motionless, as though he was waiting for something, probably when I sit down at his place at the table. Then I heard him say "You're the first person in 200 years who has come here. Sit down with us."

His voice was so hard that Moira finally came out of his stupor. Man and imps smiled and the whole atmosphere was "languid and dreamlike," but Moira found the strength to turn around and go the other way. Then she suddenly found herself in a strange place next to a stream.

When Moira finally came out to his tour group and found his friend, he, to her amazement, told her the same story. He will also meet the old witch, and those, too, led him to the table and persuaded to sit down and eat with them. In the days that followed, Moira and her friend watched strange balls of light and frightening mists in the woods and have heard disembodied singing, but most of those creatures have not seen.
