Devil’s Town, guardian-fairy intervention

Overview

The national-tourism account describes a guardian fairy trying to prevent a devil-deceived sibling wedding. She prays for intervention, and the party becomes stone.

The selected narrative differs from a separate petrified-devils account on the same page. The source also gives erosion as the natural explanation; folklore is not geology or endorsement of the attempted union.
