- The fairies people believe in are-:
Jack-o- the lantern -: this fairy is supposed to lead people astray on dark nights.
Banshee -: This fairy woman is supposed to be heard crying near the house where a person is going to die.
The Leipreacán -: this fairy in the farm of an old man is to be seen on bright moonlight nights mending shoes. If he is caught and held fast he would tell where a pot of gold is to be found.- Collector
