- Some of the old people believe in Leipreachauns. They are supposed to be sitting under a mushroom or a dock leaf and they are suppposed to make shoes for fairies at twelve o'clock in the night and when the cock crows they dissappear. They (diss) wear a green jacket, a red cap, and knee-breeches. It is said that they know where a port of gold is hidden.
