The legend in Somerset...

cool rants
The place: Somerset, England
The property: Bay Tree Manor
While renovating the southern wall on their property, an American couple living in England had a landscaper/contractor come and survey the area. He looked around, then told them that he was sure that because the home was built in the late 1600's that there was more than likely a well on the property some place. With ordinary metal hangers, he began water dowsing, making his way round the land and low and behold, the moment he came upon traces of water underground, the wires crossed! There was indeed a well.
Soon after they built up the well, complete with rope and bucket.
One night, whilst entertaining friends, they decided to use the well to chill some ale.
They lowered 6 bottles into the well and later went over to retrieve them for consumption.
Upon lifting up the rope, they soon discovered that two were missing and nowhere to be found within the well itself.
Legend has it that the property is inhabited by faeries. Thus, there are at least two faeries wandering round, underground or in the surrounding forest, drunk!
