Sussex Day Folklore: The Fae Folk Of Beeding Hill

A Sussex folk story for #SussexDay by ‪@DDStoryteller‬
In Beeding the fairies foiled two men’s attempt to steal a pig.
Whilst they were making their way back across the fields the pig’s kicking in the sack they had caught it in had become tiresome and so they stopped for a breather on the hill.
What they did not know was that the hill they stopped on was Beeding Hill and famous as the home of the fae folk.
Rested, they picked up the sack with the pig and began on their way once more.
They had barely set one foot in front of the other when they heard a tiny voice shouting behind them ‘Jim where are you?’
The two robbers scratched their heads and looked around for where the voice had come from when to their horror a voice replied, ‘I’m here in the sack on his back,’.
A talking pig was too much for the pair and they dropped the sack and ran.
Of course, it was one of the wee folk that had accidentally ended up on the sack with the pig and thankfully he returned home to his family and the pig ran all the way home too.
