Gifts were (and still are as we witnessed at a holy well in Ireland a few years ago) left at these wells such as coins, buttons, beads, keys, buckled, ribbons, rags (tied on tree branches etc in a knot) and “dolly” figures were favored

Flowers, fruits, stones and crystals were also often left at holy wells

So long as the gifts/offerings remained at the wells a tie with the well existed for the person who left them.
Chessel’s Court, a courtyard in the Old Town of Edinburgh surrounded by fine restored tenements, dates from about 1745.
In the 1850’s one of the upper flats was said to be haunted by the ghost of a woman, who had hanged herself there. Breathing and other sounds were reportedly heard, and also apparently spotted was the apparition of a tall woman clad in a black silk dress and with a black veil hiding its face.

If you or someone else removed the gift from the well, the person who removed it is said to receive the illness complaint of the person who left the offering.

COVID-19 (coronavirus): Long-term effects
The Otherworld is but a short distance from theirs where humans continue to live a similar life. (like the Castle of the Grail.
The last of the spring festivals (Imbolic Ostara and Beltane) and the second and the second principal Celtic festival (other Samhain ). It was traditional to celebrate it between the Vernal Equinox and the Summer Solstice (Spring and Midsummer) in ancient times to mark the arrival of summer.
In ancient times the year was divided into two parts winter or the Dark part where the sun is held in hiding.. A time which honors the dead and summer when the sun is released the time of the light.honoring the living.
Beltane (and Samhain) is a period of “no time”—and the veil between the world and the otherworld is at it’s thinnest—a time that the beings of both mingle resulting in a time of strong magic. A time when the faeries return full of mischief and delight. In days gone by the night before Beltane the people would place rowan branches at their windows and doors to protect them from the otherworldly beings that were about at this time.
For instance The Isle of Man –(it’s past) here the youngest member of the family gathers primroses on the eve before Beltane and throws flowers about the home for protection

The Otherworld was a resting place of the gods and the dead (alive again). A marvelous paradise, an orchard where the fruit is ripe all year and there is no death or old age
