Folklore says that mythical creatures called Pixies live in Devon and Cornwall. They are pointy-eared, dress in green and are said to especially like misleading travellers. It is said that you can avoid mischievous pixies if you turn your coat inside out and leave water for them. Does this work? 

Keep your wits about you and let us know what happens!

Warning: Be careful not to be mislead by a pixie. You could get lost forever!




BONUS QUESTION

Could Pixies be real?
Pixies have been known to cause havoc and cause lots of trouble. Don't say we haven't warned you! Good luck.

Risk overall: Low. This should be easy but take care.
