In 1872 there is a reference to a home of the hikey sprites near Great Melton in Norfolk.

In the entry ‘Norfolk Superstitions’ by Walter Rye it says: ‘Other spritual visitants are the hyter sprits [variant], a kind of fairy rather beneficient than otherwise – a special habitat for which is a lane called Blow Hill, in Great Melton, prettily overshadowed with beech trees.’

Some authorities claim that this is modern Bow Hill. It has several haunted activities associated with it.
