  1. The Leipreachan

    Share Share Post
    The Leipreachan is about two feet in height. He has a red cap on his head always. If you see him catch him, for if he is near a hedge he will go in through. Hold him and ask him for the purse. And every time you open it you will get a shilling in it.
    This is a story about the Leipreachan. My father was going to work one morning and above in Tim Hayes's he heard a voice inside in the fort. "Isn't it a fine day the first of March".
