  1. Story about a Fairy

    Share Share Post
    One night my father, the Lord have mercy on him, was hunting for rabbits in Issercleran. And a little man in a red jacket followed him. After a while the dogs refused to hunt. Then my father turned and as soon as he came to where he first saw the little man he disappeared and was never seen again.
    He went to hunt in the same place on several occasions afterwards and did not see the little man.
    My father told me this before his death.
