- A Leipreachan lives in a moat. He is supposed to be a foot and a fist. He wears a white breeches a green coat and a red cap and long shoes. He is always making shoes. He has a hammer and a last and leather and sprigs. He has a crock of gold a hide in a whole of the ground. If you caught him you might get the gold. He would try to trick you every way he could, if you look away for a second he would be gone.
