- I never saw a leipreachain. Some people can tell stories about leipreachains. They spend their time making boots. Some of them have gold hidden under the ground or some other place. I often heard people saying that the leipreachain wears a grey trousers and a grey coat and a red cap. He wears a leather apron when he is mending boots.
The leipreachaain is very easily frightened but he is very clever.Some of them stay beside a fort. Some people often tried to get where the leipreachain was. He often appeared to people at night. He is a very small man. Some of them often gave gold to people. They sit under the shade of a tree in the hot weather. People say that they stay in forts.- Informant
