I'm a fisherman myself and ( I know catching the fish was for food and my fishing is for pleasure ) my attitude would always be "I've had my fun catching, take as many as you want"
@@Para2normal I think, Big Alistair may have been fishing for pleasure aswell (I could be wrong but the sources seem to imply it). I think it was pure greed or possibly misunderstanding the Urisks motives.
Big Alastair's a jerk. That Urisk got cheated out of his fair share. Honestly, I've never cared for stories in which humans unjustly take advantage of some kind of supernatural being, emphasis on 'unjustly' due to many variations. It's supposed to make the protagonist come off as clever when really they're just being scumbags. Anyway, love these wonderful videos. Gives me that warm, cozy feeling of sitting near a campfire listening to ghost stories. 😊
To be fair, there's plenty of stories of fae unfairly tricking humans. It's very likely that the Urisk was trying to gain Big Alastair's trust by being cordial, just to bag him along with the fish. We may never know (and neither will Big Alastair), but it's just a lesson in being safe, rather than being sorry.
Maybe one day soon we can all compare notes and tell a few tales....prior to the pandemic Tom Sleman used to host readings and Q and A,s at Saint George, s Hall in Liverpool....I feel sure you would receive a warm welcome in these parts ,if you decide to do something similar....cheers / slainte....E
I love these so much! I live in Whitetop VA and so much our folklore is carried over from Scotland. We have the Creekfield Woman, which is very similar to the washer woman. Several people I know have seen her multiple times and even taken pictures. She sits by a waterfall washing clothes and combing her hair, but has been seen elsewhere in the community.
I'm fairly new to your channel but an all-time lover of myths, legends and folklore. I like your parallels and comparison, because they seriously match mine.
I was born in county Donegal but grew up in glasgow so I grew up hearing the strories of faeries from irish and scottish folklore Fourth view, first like and first comment
Indeed, I believe in fact, these are the same as satyrs from Greek mythology. It’s not at all impossible that if these such creatures did exist or do exist, then they would probably be more widespread than simply Scotland, its possible that they are also the same creatures found in Greece. We do know that Greece actually traded with Cornwall in southern Britain for their tin 1000 BC, so it’s possible, maybe some of the mythology got to the island that way, and somehow made its story known in the north where it stayed, but became forgotten by the rest of Britain?
Wow, I used to have dreams of Urisk's or them watching over me. One specifically with a biblical name Ezekiel. He was man body, goat legs, and goat head but man torso and arms.
I didn't know James McAvoy had become folklore already...I,m sure the Lion the witch and wardrobe seem like a distant memory to him now...I do wonder if fellow Ulster man CS Lewis read or heard the same stories as your good self, thanks again for sharing this, best wishes from spooky old Wirral..E
Great paintings of early Highlanders wearing different diverse kinds of Highland Dress such like as that did not become codified during the Victorian revival including cloaks, different tartan patterns worn together, shoulder sporrans, etc.
Really sad for that urisk, the guy could've just split the fish like, it wouldn't have been that big a deal there was plenty to go around in sure :(. Also, the way you described them in physical appearance reminded me a lot of the American (can't remember which state, sorry) goat man myths
I agree, I have heard of the American goat man myths, they are quite interesting. Perhaps they are related to the Urisk, since a lot of Highlanders went to America during the Highland Clearances
having a beer, and dang do I need an energetic Urisk to help me clean my hovel, sigh, if only there were house-cleaning magical spells, I think I am cursed with dirt because this is the most dirty place I've ever lived, the floor only stays clean for 24 hours
Any chance of a video based on the legends in scotland fife? The raith wizard theres also rumour of a tale of demon attempting to make a rope from sand? Would be awesome
I love these storeys i have been studying mythology folklore for 3 0 years but i gave always wonder if the Church based the Devil him self of these guys as the Devil had hoofs and these guys seem to put fear into people as well. The romans use to go to other country’s and integrated other country’s folklore and take over there religious site. 90% people were uneducated back then so easy to put fear into them so they will behave.
No wonder faeries don't want to interact with humans much anymore. Humans have been so rude and disrespectful to them. Those shepherds gave no thought to just traipsing through his valley home everyday without a pleasant 'good day to you'. That maid, throwing scalding water on someone who is just annoying to her is absolutely cruel. That fisherman, so greedy and selfish. Why does he need that many anyway? Pfft!
I think you're wrong, I think the answer is far simpler than anything anyone has suggested. They simply have minds, and they're all different like humans. You wouldn't look at a white person and think all whites are the same or an Asian and think all Asians think the same
I feel sorry for this creature. They may be a little annoying, but that is all they are and it would have been easy enough to split the catch of fish...unless I am missing something.
In scotland the fae are known as the sith, sídhe, pronounced shee. there full title in Scotland is the Daoine Sith or people of the fairy mound. hope that helps
Liam, you are a true storyteller - a noble lineage, in all times and places. It's a gift - guard it well.
I've never heard of this critter before! They sound lovely. Feel badly for the one who got tricked out of all his fish.
Yeah, so did I.

Some myths have humans getting punished for their actions getting dragged off to the fae realms and never seen again

You are the best storyteller!!! Your voice is perfect!!
Wow, thank you!
This is one of my favorites. Thanks! Though I still think the fisherman should have shared fairly.
I agree, poor Urisk. Thanks for watching
I came across this legend a little while ago but didn't have a chance to research it much, thank you for such a great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!

So many lessons to be learned in these fabulous tales! Thank you.
ah the poor Urisk... I liked this story!!!

Interesting! Maybe you are distantly related to one of the families they were close with?
This video was so interesting! I had heard of the Urisk before but you helped me understand it a lot more
Glad it was helpful! Thanks
Why wouldn't they all have different temperaments? They are half human, after all.
Fascinating ❣❣❣

fascinating and informative.
In the US we call them sheepsquatch they are said to still be alive in small numbers
You should have more likes
Quite agree....a live stream might help.....E

Ill look into it, thanks for the suggestion
Idk if it was just me... but I felt bad he never got his fishies 😶🐟
Superb
Now he' is the walrus coo coo coo hoo
Interesting
Or a Minotaur. Half bull half man.
Capricorn and Taurus.
Over there counting their coins and waiting to steal the others coin
Being half goat they are quite playful.

5:48 I'm fucking sorry but I can only hear the Urisks voice as Bobby Hill
Donald Mor! I don’t like you! 😂
I think you're wrong, I think the answer is far simpler than anything anyone has suggested. They simply have minds, and they're all different like humans. You wouldn't look at a white person and think all whites are the same or an Asian and think all Asians think the same
I hope Alistair had a big freezer for his load of fish 😂
Actually i salted them and ate nightly quite well!! Cheers!!!
I think that's hilarious.
I would have probably dated that guy.
It didn't make him stop
I feel sorry for this creature. They may be a little annoying, but that is all they are and it would have been easy enough to split the catch of fish...unless I am missing something.
I agree with you, they can be bothersome at times but generally don't seem to harbour any malice
dishonest fisherman!
Or rather Pan is a Urus
Uris is Pan
I hear you pronouncing fae with an “sh” sound “shee”
Have we all been pronouncing it wrong this whole time?!😅
In scotland the fae are known as the sith, sídhe, pronounced shee. there full title in Scotland is the Daoine Sith or people of the fairy mound. hope that helps
alternate title:
have a union of man & fae in Bangkok and Urisk getting AIDS
🤣
(sorry if fae jokes offend you) lol
