- A Leipreachán
My father has a little sharpening stone for sharpening knives which he got from his Aunt who came upon a leipreachán in a fort mending boots. There was also a last a hammer and knife got. The lepreachán ran away and left these things behind him.
The lepreachán was about a foot and a half high.
He wore a red coat and pointy cap. They are friendly to us if we do not interfere with them. There is a bush in Rathbrist and it is called the gancana's bush. No one in this district ever saw a lepreachán at it.
