  1. The Leprechaun or Mermaid

    Share Share Post
    The Leipreachan is known in my locality as the Lutharagan. It is said that Leipreachan's live in the mountains or forts and that their usual occupation is shoemaking. He is two feet in height and he wears a white cap and a red coat and for shoes he wears sandles with white fur all round. It is said a man caught one in Knockfierna and he took a crock full of gold from him.
