Summary

A boy was killed by two witches in animal form.

A boy went to a sheiling with two girls who were tending the cattle. During the night, two cats appeared and became women. He recognised them. They told him to tell no one. The girls he had been expecting did not come till morning.

At the end of his term, the boy decided to move elsewhere. He was persuaded to stay, after telling the farmer what he had seen. He was coming back late one night and again met the witches who appeared in animal form. He was killed by them.
