    My grandad told me in all seriousness NEVER kill a cricket, they're nature's proximity alarms. He lived in the mountains of NorCal and said the if you do, the other crickets will remember and decide to keep chirping even if a bear or a rattlesnake comes after you in the night. So, I've never killed a cricket and have never been attacked by a bear or bitten by a snake.
    Crazy old coot. I don't live in the mountains!

    I am an American with a dad from Ireland, when we would visit in the summer my grandad used to tell us amazing stories about fairies and old kings and queens and warriors or people from Ireland. I remember visiting a few dairy forts and trees with my grandad and how he was always telling us to be careful around them. I don’t think he really believed in them but he knew it would make a fantastic childhood for us so I guess that’s why he never told us about how the fairies were evil, he just told us not to mess with them because they are peaceful and don’t want to be disturbed

    Around 1970 my mother took me to see the Walt Disney movie The Gnome Mobile here in the U.S. when I was 7 years old. I fully believed that gnomes were real after seeing the movie. When we got home I called an airline (back when there was the 411 operator who connected my call) and I tried to get reservations to Ireland. When the person I talked to at the airline asked me where I wanted to go in Ireland, I told her where the gnomes are. She was such a good sport as she told me the county where I would find them and asked me how many people would be traveling with me. She pretended to make reservations (though as a kid I thought she really did) and told me the flight number, when it would leave, and how much it would cost. I told her I’d have to talk to my mother first before making the reservations. I’m 61 years old now and I have this wonderful memory. I sure wish gnomes were real. 😂

      The various tales of Counts and princes with variations on the name Drac are in reality an obfuscation, a distraction by a covetous English literary establishment in an era when the subjugation of the Irish was at its zenith and an only recently unbanned Irish language was spoken only in remoter regions of the island.

    God i miss Ireland. I spent a few months working there several years back. My team had English, Italians, Dutch, Germans, French, and Turks on it--I was the lone American--and the one thing we all agreed on was that the Irish were the strangest, funniest, liveliest people we'd every met. And oddly enough, I was able to understand their accents much better than my European counterparts. Every time we sat down in a restaurant or hopped in a taxi, the local worker would say something and everyone would look at me. As a monolingual American, I never expected to be translating for a Dutch guy who was fluent in five languages. But that's Ireland for you--its got its own thing going on in every way.

      Vlad Tepes was however the name given to him by the Romanian public, and was even used in a legal grant once. It means Vlad the Impaler, as, well, you know. Dracula has nothing to do with irish language.

    Fairies are no joke, my ex was Welsh Irish and grew up believeing but I would not believe in anything I could not see or verify. That radically changed one day while we were on our property that had a large storage garage pulling out items, that had a twisted dead small black bush in front of it, it was winter so everything appeared dead that wasn't evergreen aswell. I was pregnant so he was doing most of the work on that day so I was standing out front when I looked over at the bush and it still was black and dead but it had sprouted green foliage and there was a baby smiling with its arms outstretched with roses and foliage around its body, it was bright and vivid and I couldn't believe what I was seeing I started walking over to it because of the baby and said to my partner "it's a baby!" He immediately ran towards me grabbed me and pulled me away screaming "it's a fairy don't touch it!" And ran me up towards the hill. I turned back two times though he told me not to one time I did see it the next time it disappeared back into the Black Bush because I just couldn't believe what I just seen. He was pale and shaking saying our baby would have died if I had touched the tree. I know this story sounds extremely strange and I don't tell it very often for that reason but it is the truth, I don't think I would have even believed it unless he had also seen it too at the same time but I know I'll never doubt fairies anymore and I believe people should be warned about them and true encounters should be shared in case it happens to someone else. The second part would be if you see one do not go back to where it was and definitely don't damage whatever spot it's taken over, that can have very serious consequences for the person who destroys it. Take care everyone

    In the Irish language, faeries are known as "na daoine maithe," which translates to english as "the good people." Now, you might think that odd, as they were feared tremendously, so much so that people were afraid to even say anything bad about them. So they were described as the good people out of fear. 😱

Yet SWORE "fairy folk" and all manner of similar were showing up, riding her dog, playing the piano and causing a lot of trouble. She had multiple pictures of them ... "Here's a fairy sitting on a mushroom."
    "Uh, I see the mushroom but not the ..."
    "You have to be pure of heart to see them!"
    She did that job twice. She really loved it, hoped to continue but was (go figure) taken off the list after writing everybody from the Park Service to the Dept of Interior pleading their case to preserve forests, etc. Over 10 years ago, still have contact and no crazy claims since. She still insists it's true and frankly, after TOO MANY WTF paranormal events up there, I could buy it.

    My great grandfather came from Galway 120 years ago and settled near Boston. We're not sure if he met his wife here or back there but she grew up less than five miles from where he grew up and both of them were devout believers in fairy folk. My great grandfather started out his adult life as a coachman, was also a farm hand and eventually a florist. He always devoted a small portion of every garden he made to the fairy folk. I don't know if there was any real magic or if there were real fairies but his gardens were always magical. He brought bags of seeds with him when he came here and I now grow plants that are descendants of the plants he once cultivated in Galway. I also have a small stone figure he had claimed had been sculpted by a fairy sculptor for one of his distant ancestors and it always was in his "fairy garden." Today it resides in my garden. Honestly I don't know if you can really say it resembles a fairy or not. One would have to see a real fairy and compare them to know for sure. But I'd like to think that if there were real fairies that they would feel welcome in my own garden. In any case all the wonderful creatures that come to visit seem to like it. I live in Florida now and there is no shortage of hummingbirds that visit me almost daily as well as dozens of feral parrots and all manner of other birds big and small and they have wings and so do the dozens of species of butterflies that pollenate my garden. And of course all the things that craw and hop and slither and perhaps somewhere among them not quite in sight there is what our ancestors once called fairies. Are there really fairies? Wouldn't it be nice if there were?

      It wasn’t that long ago mate.. Irish is the second biggest heritage in the US, USA is only a few hundred years old. To put into perspective, my grandfather was born in 1921, his grandfather was born in like 1850.
      Of course Irish culture spread, you celebrate Irish holidays like Halloween and paddy’s day!
      Faerie rings are just fungi growing around a hidden tree stump or something, but yes in folklore, faeries are viscous creatures that prey on children.
      In ancient Ireland, they would hear giggling and children screaming coming from the dark woods at night. This is because foxes make sounds that sound exactly like a gremlin giggling, and children screaming.
      So the ancient people thought these giggling creatures were taking children into the woods.
      Then if a child was born with autism or a mental illness, they thought the faeries drove them mad.
      That stuff was passed on to US and Australia when the Irish populated them. Hence why you have Irish culture in your culture, like Australian football is basically just Irish football (Gaelic football/GAA) and the fact you celebrate Halloween and paddy’s day.

      English really only took hold in Ireland about that time and devoloped along its own path thereafter. Therefore to a native English English speaker from somewhere else, it might have easily have retained aspects of Shakespearean English that had been lost in their dialect and vice versa.

    @levitatingoctahedron922 День тому +1

    I have a friend in Caithness, Scotland, and I can tell you that in the rural parts there fairy fear is alive and real. It seems a little different from Irish fears, because the old folks there won't even speak a word about fairies. They have little ticks with their arms they do when the subject comes up and they are afraid talking about them will attract them. They associate them with piles of rocks and old ruins, and lo and behold, the region is littered with little thousand year old piles of rocks that nobody will touch. My friend acts secular about it until he gets drunk, then you hear how superstitious he really is. Every single time he's about to say something about fairies while drunk, he says almost like a protective spell, word for word, "Now I don't know if fairies are real or not, but if they were, I wouldn't fox with them.", which gives him permission to say something about them afterward. He also told me that most parents wouldn't allow childrens movies with fairies in them, and said that back in the day parents would send angry letters to Disney over Peter Pan and such.

So the superstition is pretty prominent. It’s pretty cool to see a lot of that culture still standing pretty strong especially in the rural areas.
