The James T. Callow Folklore Archive
When cream sours and horses sweat at rest, there is a witch
present.
Submitter comment:
Grandpa told us as we sat around the fire, to always taste
the cream before using it and if the plow horses would not work
in the morning because they were full of sweat, it was time to
pray because there was probably a witch or warlock close by.
