In my homeland of Papua New Guinea, we have very similar stories of creatures who live in old trees. Once one of these trees were cut down and they found a "home" inside.
Wonderful 😁 thanks 🙏❤️
This is the O'Leary Castle in the background! I knew it straight away, I flew my New Zealand to Ireland last year to find where my family came from, so to see it pop up in a music video of a gorgeous song made my day!
I don't need to believe in the Fae. I know they exist and have known they existed since I was little. I was a good natured kid, I kept to myself and was empathetic to others. I liked to read, draw and play with my toys. I unfortunately at some point must have inadvertently drew the attention of one or more trickster sometimes malevolent Fae types who made my childhood challenging and somewhat terrifying. My mom once took a photo of me playing in the kitchen and hanging off the countertop when I was around 4 years old. When she got the pictures developed she was terrified because according to her she saw an image of a stereotypical Gnome like creature in the background staring menacingly at me with a cruel smile. She tore up the photo because she believed that by doing so would release it's hold on me. It didn't. The being(s) frequently stole and never returned my toys and other personal items. For most of my year in the 6th grade they stole my homework and got me into a lot of trouble with my teacher who didn't believe I actually did the homework. They caused me many nights of terrifying nightmares from my earliest memories. They physically appeared in my room or outside my window on a handful of occasions, sometimes seen by family members as well. When I was around 5 years old, two of them took pleasure in threatening me while abducting a sibling and they had taken my parents on other occasions. Their visits stopped when I was around 17 years old but their effect and presence still haunt me to this day and has caused PTSD symptoms and anxiety from those childhood traumatic events which prevent me from sleeping most nights until it is daybreak. I am in my late 50's now but I still must sleep with the lights on till dawn.
What county and street is it in? There seems to be a lot of St Brigid's Wells in Ireland. They say there used to be a St Brigid's Well in Dublin on Melbourne Street which would be handy for me if it was still functioning.
God I hope they are real. I think the world is just weird enough for them to exist.
Never Touch a lone tree they don’t like it
Some of us still believe here in Ireland ❤🙏🏻
I would love to hear the reactions from modern day Irish people and foreign people alike. I'm talking about their accents while telling their stories. I'm a Dubliner and I find a hard to understand I just just about do, is brilliant listening to them. ✌️☘️
I am just hearing this rendition for the first time. It had me in bits it is so wonderful. Where can I find more of Bernie's songs? Thank you!!
A Scottish song. Easily verified as such.
Who of course went to Scotland from Ireland.
@@stephenmcloughlin7718 for clarity it is written about Scotland By a Scotsman in the 1960's not by some Scoti tribesman back in the 3rd century. The desperate misspelling of the lyrics of Lochs as Loughs as seen online to make it appear Irish is laughable . Almost as bad as the loch tay boat song being misspelled as the lough tae boat song to make in sound Irish but still keeping Killin and Aberfeldy as the locations
@@cecircinn2908 , but the words were still put to an old Irish tune.
@@stephenmcloughlin7718 Yes the tune is Irish but the song is Scottish. Much like Red is the rose is an Irish song but set to the tune of the much earlier Scottish song Loch Lomond . Difference being that Scots do not try to claim Red is the rose.
only once have I heard the song in the wind It could have easily been a hallucination because I smoked a lot of weed beforehand, and that summer I was doing a lot of other drugs too. It was the voice of a woman comforting the souls of burning grass spirits who were all crying for help. The farmers near my house were burning the ditches by their fields. it will stay with me until I die.
To disbelieve is to do so at your peril. If you don’t bother 5hem, they shan’t bother you.
I don't know if OP is still alive in 2024but I offer an Irish toast: May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead. Blessings to OP Be Well
My neighbour, great the hear this story
Thanks for sharing going to make it this week
..."Can't believe in fairies you can't believe in god." You say that like its some sort of high price. I can't believe in either, and that works for me. I don't have the rotten empty spot in my skull created by too many childhood coloring books about magic zoo boats. BUT, I think the fairy stories are the cutest and least harmful to society of all the dozens of such stories. I'd love to believe in either, but the hand of the author and the way tales mold over time or with cultural adjacency is just too obvious.
Would anyone here be able to help me understand a dream I had? I don't know if what I dreamt was of real faeries, but I don't know how else to describe them. The dream was so specific and oddly unlike any expectation I had in my mind of what faeries are like, but in my heart, I feel that I saw faeries. Yet I struggle to find any description online of what I saw and feel was a true look into the spiritual dimension. I am hoping someone here can help me better understand these beings I encountered? This is the dream: I was living in the woods and taking care of two stray feral kittens by feeding them everyday. These beings soon took notice of me and showed themselves to me as they moved in procession through the woods, somehow my taking care of the kittens caught their attention. They were very thin and waiflike, shaped in faint glowing white light, almost too thin to be humanoid and similar to the shape of a stick, maybe a foot tall. I saw no discernable features. Just light. They wanted me to be aware of them is what I felt. They then showed me in my mind's eye these beautiful chrysalis topped stalks or stick-like structures. The approximate width of a twig from a tree. And there the dream ended. Who have I encountered? Did I have my first faerie meeting? Thank you for reading. I hope someone can help me learn who these beings are!
I heard the banshee in 1987 and the screaming was so scary we heard the next morning my grandmother had dead my sister was in the same room to me but she was fast a sleep i told my mother she said it follows are name which is o gorman i live in Australia now and when i hear a Dog howling someone passes away back in ireland.

Several years ago I was bagging my dogs poop along a nature trail. I caught sight, briefly of a little man peering at me from behind a old stone wall separating the path from a field. He had jade coloured skin, weathered complexion. No hat no hair. He looked my way and then hid back behind the wall. It's shadow was visible too. It kind of hung around or that's how I perceived that most wierd encounter. Me and the dog ventured on. My mind filled with questions about that tiny man. It's shadow from the sighting also began to bother me later on. Because to me it wasn't a little man stood on the soil but clinging to the stone that made the wall. Was it weary of foxes? It's size from my brief encounter is estimated as being the same height as a 3yr old
A most sincere and delightful video. Many thanks, for creating it,to be sure.
Thank you for this. Something charming in a miserable world ❤
Brought a tear to my eye, sounded exactly like my nanny when cooking her griddle bread. We lost her 20 years ago aged 94
This is beautiful. Love it!

Very nice rendition but it's not Irish trad, It was written in the 1950s by Edinburgh poet Gordon Smith and set to an old Irish tune.
There is an unusual energy inside a fairly forth. I've spent time around and inside them. But always leave a gift of a wee drop in a bottle, I've never felt any badnes towards me.Side note: because he mentioned it as i was typing ]And there's a baby graveyard in the field behind where i live. And the owners of the land will NEVER tuch it. I have made two walking sticks from a fort. One i have, the other i returned to the fort. And the feeling of joy as i placed it back at the base of the blackthorn which they came from. By the time i walked the 50 feet or there abouts, once i stepped outside the ring of the tree's it had gone. ❤️🇮🇪
What a special and precious site. I am emotionally attached to Attracta's Well, near Ballaghaderreen, first there in 1977 and back a couple of times. It's water is supposed to be healing for the eyes. I kept some in a shandy bottle and took it to England and kept if for years and it never went bad. Thanks for showing this place, and am happy it is protected on state parklands.
If you cut down one tree plant 12 trees back.
Good Irish man. 😊
i believe
My great grandmother was from a village called Mooncoin, right outside of Kilkenny. She never talked about anything like this but she was the only person I ever really felt special around and she understood me. I am in western Washington USA. I have believed in fairies since I can remember. I've had many unexplainable experiences. I believe magic is just inherent in some of us. In midlife now I am finally true to my strange self and loving my life. I can't help but think that there was a fairy or two in my ancestry. Blessings to you all. 🍀🌟🧝🏻♂️✨🧙🏻♂️🧭🌖🧚🏻♂️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻🫅🏻🕯️💖
All things are possible when one believes.
My grandfather was Irish, worked in the coal mines in the early 90's, was 6 feet tall and not one to scare easily. He always reminisced about the encounter he had with a black shadowy female in the fields whose scream gave him goosebumps to that very day. Its been over 25 years since he passed away, but I always found the tale to be both captivating & terrifying.

Always makes me cry!
Where can I find part 1 to this video thank you
Not only a changeling, but sassy! If it hadn't opened it's gob about the music, It could have continued on, eating the food, and enjoying the house.
Its also possible that this phenomena has died down as people back then had a lot more time for walks, discovery, for picnics, for venturing through woodland than today. Yes it is we who have changedT! hey saw things that we all now miss out on. Life is too busy today with eye candy of gluttony, work duties or how to fill your day with meaningless chores, ..busy…busy…busy 2023 How I wish for the simpler life that includes the time when needed for grounding, our nature connection, an a peace with mother earth and all her beauty in life.
I love these stories and totally believe them. I have also come across a fellow that has had many video’d encounters with pixie tribes as he scopes the landscape for them!
I was on a camping trip with my school on the Island of Eigg in 1974 and I fell down a massive hill and when I got back on my feet I saw a little person in a black hat looking at me and in a flash it was gone.

People will chuckle and laugh their way into the grave. They will chuckle and laugh the world into global environmental catastrophe. They will chuckle and laugh their way into social collapse. They will chuckle and laugh until their hospitals are full of cancer and heart disease, and all the mental hospitals are filled up, and everyone is on dangerous experimental pharmaceutical neurotoxins as a daily ritual, and then they will continue to chuckle and laugh, all the way incapable of comprehending that maybe they don't understand everything there is to be understood beneath the sun.

In the Islamic tradition, we have the concept of Jinns. While Christianity seems to not know what to do with the spirits that are neither human nor Angel, Islam has this additional category of being. Like angels, they are from the unseen, but like humans, they have free will, and can be good or bad. One cannot be a Muslim without believing in Jinns. We can recognize that most cultures around the world believe in something similar, so perhaps Islam has some answers for the people of Ireland.
