The Piskies had a reputation of confusing the unwary traveller (see similarly: Pisky Led) as this story related to A. K. Hamilton Jenkin describes:
Not long since, middle-aged man, who is well known to the writer, described how his wife had on one occasion been 'piskey-mazed' whilst going home through a field in the parish of 'Costenton' (Constantine). Normally, she knew the field perfectly well; but on this occasion she wandered round and round so long that, at length, she had actually had to call for assistance in order to be shown the way out.
