To think?? You never know if anything is real until it becomes your reality, I love this. And even if you were on shrooms like they say you experienced a trip that influenced you to come to America and create these beautiful gnomes!
If this is the Tess that I knew from NJ, what's been up? Anyway, I remember after local woods were leveled I was vetted by a duo of a green T-bone shaped insectoid and a black fuzzy one that appeared to be all stinger and eyes. I've also encountered The Barkman among many other things. It's best to not mess around with them.
I am Welsh. One day I climbed a hill and at the top was a meadow with an ancient tree. Every 4 to 6 years these giant toadstools would grow from it's base and us locals would go to look. Well this one year I went up there to see and a tiny, not more than 1 ft being poked his head from behind the toadstool. His skin was green. His clothes were green and brown. He smiled and waved at me and then was gone like a wisp of smoke. I will never forget him. He remains with me 50 years later as a precious encounter. Faerie folk exist.
I wonder were it went...perhaps they live in a different dimension and are probably wary of humans, no wonder we can be quite ignorant and dangerous. I follow a channel here on TH-cam called beyond creepy that reports all kinds of unusual encounters with different things from moving trees and gremlins to werewolf type creatures and bigfoot. They can't all be nonsense and hearsay. I believe sometimes people genuinely encounter something they don't understand.
@@sixfeetundertheradar6080 He was between 10 - 12 inches tall. His skin was a darkish green. Not bright sap green. More like moss colour. His eyes were large and sparkled even though they were either darkest brown or black. His features were sharp but not old and he wore a cap that pointed forward that looked as if it were made of overlapping leaves. His clothes were the same. Overlapping and all were green with tinges of brown. He was slender, fragile. I didn't see his legs or shoes just the upper body, waist. I will never forget him. I was meant to see him that day. Hope to again in this world or the next. Much later in life I moved to the USA and became the only gnome maker in the USA and only 1 of 2 in the world that sculpted and reproduced extremely rare clay gnomes. (Kimmel Gnomes). I did that for 20 years with no knowledge of sculpting or ceramics but was able to take it up with almost no learning curve. Don't know if connected somehow but there it is. Thank You!
@@Candy-ji1sr That's awesome that the experience perhaps influenced you with making the gnomes. I love creative people who make quirky or unusual things! I was never any good at drawing or art but I'm not too bad at making daft box puppets or sock puppets lol I also seem to have a knack for making up unusual names for characters I invent and my own strange words e.g a galooga popel floffin egg laid by a gribdinik papodycoodies chicken. Sounds like absolute nonsense and it's just gobbledygook but some people find it quite amusing and I enjoy making up strange creatures with outrageous names
the gentleman with the big bushy beard is/was an author and storyteller and would do sittings for groups. I was in ireland back in 07, and the school group I was with had the honor of sitting with him with a roaring peat fire at sundown while he shared stories. That itself was magic, but it makes you realize just how real the magic is when you get to enjoy sharing that time with someone who wants to enlighten you about their culture and something special to them.
We (me, my wife and 3 girls) stopped in Donegal for a week once in a cottage rented out by the family of a friend of mine who was from over there. His Aunty Mary came around every day with a plate full of scones and in the evening for a game of Queenie with old pennies. The girls loved it. Irish people are wonderful and so is Ireland. Long may it be that way.
@@chesterite74 I love Eddie. I went to listen to one of his talks about the faerie people few years ago, it was marvelous. We live in the same county so I used to see him in Ennis a lot. He's always in his own world.
I'm 60yrs old and Australian. I 💯 percent believe in fairies. I saw a female one in a bush in our garden about twilight when I was about 2yrs. It was summer and mum was bringing in the washing late. I was toddling around, when I saw her looking at me from behind a leaf 🍃. I remember distinctly, going a few steps and crouching on my feet , I looked at her, she looked up at me , she wasn't frightened of me, probably because of my innocence. Mum called me after a few seconds and I just toddled off. I told her, I saw a little lady in the bush, I didn't know many words at that age, and definitely hadn't heard of fairies. It was then mum told me , oh Louie, you saw the fairy. Mum was part Irish, she knew she was there all along, but never ever mentioned it, till I revealed my sighting. I will always, always know they exist. ❤❤
My mum would call me “ Lou” we have Irish family also. I’m 56 ,Vic,Australian. My daughters middle name is “ Louise” I call her “Pixie” or “ Pixie Lou” 🧚♀️ 💫 ☘️
As 5yr old 50 years ago I peeked out the window at my nanas house at dawn and saw about 4 or 5 little people playing around her letter/milk box. No one would believe me except my nana who said that ‘I had a touch of the Irish’. and that’s why I could see them. I can still picture them in my mind as clear as I did that day.
@@ata5855 about 12”s. Climbing in and out of the milk box.. and running around it. The empty milk bottles had been taken out. My nana did say when I told them..that the full bottles when she collected them were out of the box.
I remember reading a lovely story in a book of ghost stories, no less, that talked about people finding these tiny stone fairy crosses. I think it was in England or Ireland. There was a lovely legend about it, that the crosses were made of fairies' tears. They were dancing when they heard about Christ's death. Then they all broke down crying and each tear became one of these little crosses. I always thought that was one of the loveliest stories I ever heard!
So did mine and now I'm a granny myself and I tell all the magical stories to my grandchildren that was told to me and they believe just like I did and still do don't interfere with the fairys and there forts people say they don't believe in that kind of nonsense but I dare any farmer to destroy a fairy fort No way they wouldn't touch them
I am Welsh when I was about 11 years I went away with friends in the summer time, we stayed in a cottage in the middle of nowhere in Wales near Lampeter. The cottage was surrounded by a forest. I went out to get something from the car and saw very tiny people no bigger than sindy or Barbie dolls playing on the grass area near the car. They stopped and looked up at me I was more terrified of them than they were of me. I ran back into the cottage. I have never forgotten this I am now 65.
Look, even if the faeries aren't real (I believe they are, though!), the fairy forts shouldn't be cut down anyway. They're still an important part of the culture and history of Ireland
I think that the White Thorn bushes are also supposed to be an indication of faery folk. They grow up quickly, and can be very destructive. They easily pull clothes, fur and flesh, and make people want revenge.
But fairys are real just like magic only no one can teach you magic you have to remember how to use it and that knowledge is locked in every cell in your body
I used to live across the street from a little patch of woods. A screech owl lived in it, I would listen for it's call every night. Right about at dusk, little tiny lights would appear in the underbrush and bushes all along the edge of the woods. They wouldn't move around like fireflies but we're stationary, as if the fairies were lighting their lanterns with the dusk. It was wild and magical!
@@Vayriee dont mock what you dont understand. There are too other countries and cultures who talk of Fairies and Little People, maybe... just maybe there's an element of truth in these tales., every person from near and far who talk of these mysterious people cant 'all' be wrong......
My grandma insisted fairies live on her farm we used to think she was crazy when she made them little furniture left them out gifts she always said they protected her, one morning at about 7 am I went to the barn to feed her pet pig, we had a barrel full of apples and I would toss him some, as I was approaching the barrel I heard something from inside, then all a sudden out scrambled a little man he had little boots, brown little trousers and a hat, he swung from the barrel, slid down and ran into a hole in the ground, I was stunned!! Even my dogs were shocked they wouldn’t leave the hole he ran into, a bit bigger then a squirrels, I will never second guess grandma ever again. And now as rich city ppl flock to her area and buy up land they have been trying to force her out and it always falls through things always go wrong for them, I really believe they protect her and her land. 🧚💗
In Australia on my brothers farm ,always weird crap going on ,things disappearing ,being moved, accidents ,there's these stunted trees down the paddock ,i was always having a weird feeling about ,and in the old house they had ,always had a weird feeling in the tv room like something was above you looking down at you ,watched the news then left .and in the house i live in years ago ,like two evil midgets ,grey pants green coat hat pulled down ,grey skin and ugly grin ,had the feeling they had the power to do graet harm and i was scared of them
Ireland is such a beautiful magical place, my grandma from Ireland would tell me endless stories and fairytales about fairy’s, that you should always believe. To this day I am 24 and still very much believe. Most people that I know don’t and probably think I’m weird for it, but my heart and my love for anything Irish will always be in my heart.
@@donerkebab778 it’s been so long since I have heard a story from my grandmother, I can’t think of any that I could tell you, she died 3rd April in the first lockdown unfortunately from frailty, thank god it wasn’t COVID 19, I think because I was so close with her, I might of blanked it, I remember my mum would say that her dad told her about the banshee, she told me and it spooked me so much I can’t remember what she said about it now, but I do remember my grandma would tell me about leprechauns about how at the bottom of the garden you could hear constant tapping, and if you ever catch one don’t ever turn away because if not there gone.
I'm 21 and believe in that stuff too, though I feel maybe ppl my age are less inclined to believe in this stuff anymore. But as an Irish person there are many stories in the family of fairies! It's great to keep those memories alive and pass them down to further generations. 💖
@@laoisemeehan couldn’t agree more, could I ask how you would say your name, I would say it as Leesha, only because someone I know is called Aoise (Eesha), it’s a name I’ve sort of never heard before until this person that I know.
I've met many people in Ireland, including young poeple, who have seen the fairies. An earlier generation took them for granted, and it's not so common now. But yes, people still do see the fairies.
Same for me in France. Many people. Very sane minded people. Some of them were really surprised. People will become closer to nature again someday, and they will learn to feel, to hear and see again .
I have two Hawtorn( Fairy Trees) in my side garden. During a bad storm a few yrs ago another tree ( ash) lost a huge limb and I was evacuated outside to the front of my home for nearly 7 hours while two teams of Arborists ( tree surgeons) took the Enormous limb off. During conversation with the "Tree inspector" he told me that no arborist would ever fell a Hawthorn tree on account off their connection to the spiritual realm. Also travellers ( Gypsies) will not cut from a Hollywood tree untill a certain date in Nov. An Almond branch was used by Aaron in the Bible and Cedar trees/ Fig trees and Olive branches also figure prominently in the scriptures and The ancient Druids always gathered under an Oak tree. How forgetful we have become regard the Spiritual significance of the Realms hidden in plain sight
There are, you just haven't seen one old enough as they grow very slowly. There's one with a diameter of 25cm and 10 meters tall on a river bank near to where I live...
The lady saying the non believer's being more educated.. That may be true in academic terms but there are many levels of intelligence and knowledge and this lovely lady and all in the know really have the knowledge of what others don't understand or can begin to comprehend. 💚
Once my cousin inherited the land (in County Clare) he did just that..cut down the faery fort. Shortly thereafter, his wife almost went blind and on top of that, she suffered a miscarriage. Everyone talked of it and blamed it on the cutting down of the fort. I remember that lovely mystical fort well.
I was sceptical of fairies, I thought they were from times gone by. About 12 yrs. ago, my daughter and I were walking just outside my friends house, which was in the forest. It was mid summer, I heard a whiring sound, like a really fast fluttering. It just appeared, and in a few seconds disappeared. She said Mom, did you see that.?? I sure did,... looked like if it landed in a tree, it would be very well camouflaged. Must have been a woodlands Fairy, It looked a little scary, kind of like a larger butterfly, but thin, about 1 1/2 feet long, with lots of dangling things off it wings. Natural colors of browns. I heard that whirring sound, twice after that. I felt it was up to no good. Felt faint. After seeing the forest Fairie, my friend said he had seen little green fairies in his garden, but had never told anyone. This is a true story from Ontario Canada.
@@moniqueturnbull2003 weird- my grandfather spoke of a whirring sound, then said he saw something like a tiny ufo hovering around him when he was out working alone in the field.
I know this will get me in hot water, but I have "seen", heard and felt many spirits in the woods. I used to be a new ager and psychic and talked to them a lot, including "ufo's", but when the Lord God of the Bible grabbed me out of that world, and brought me to the Cross of His Son Jesus, I learned through the Holy Spirit and other believers that ALL spirits, save for the Holy Spirit of God and HIS angels are demons. Before I was saved, I used to see them and talk to them and they would of course lie about what they were. After I was saved, let's just say, they aren't "cute and mischievous" anymore, but quite evil in their intentions. I know, I'm sorry to say that, because I used to really believe they were lovely nature spirits, etc. I really really did. I was born in the U.S. but have Celt blood in me from my dad's side. God bless!
I'v seen one Fairy once only. I'm a securty officer at night and the the area I was in is like a park. Walking to the end of a building 5 feet off the ground. next to a pine tree hovered the fairy suprized by my presents I shined my flashlight at it and it came foward to me about 5 feet. It was the same size as a Barbi Doll, and it wore a sliver atire that exposed no outside seatures, even the face was hidden. We looked at each outher and I apologised for disturbing her. She must have felt I was no threat tured away and changed color to match the pine tree outer surface and I contunued my patrols. No I did not return that night to the same spot. This is the 1st time I reveal this. God thee father has many creations why not Fairies.
I was born in USA but I remember the fairy stories from my Irish grandma passed on to her by her mother and so on. There was a great Irish culture in the 50's 60's in the USA. I remember dressing in green ( always a beautiful, new green dress sewn by my grandmother ) for St. Patrick's Day and singing traditional Irish songs at school. I don't think there is the same spirit or interest in the past as there use to be. We blame it on technology but it also a lack of curiosity for the past. For me it's fundamental to preserve!!
When people respect folklore the world becomes a safer place. I didn't say believing in it, i said respect it. It makes people take care of their surroundings and each other. It sparks conversations. Keeps communities together. I don't believe in gnomes, but just in case, i continue doing the yearly tradition of placing sacrificial food in the backyard on certain occasions. What it does for me is making me relax. It is a meditative gesture. And a promise to not forget my ancestor's traditions.
When my Irish grandmother gave me a cookie or candy she would always give me an extra one to keep in my pocket in case I encountered a fairy. Since fairies can be mischivious, she said, offer it a cookie so they will leave you alone. I always got to eat the other cookie though. Lol
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼 I love fairy tales they remind me of my childhood and my Grandparents tales about them. I grew up in Italy in the countryside by the mountains. one of the stories about them was that the fairies would go at night to the stables and that they would be platting the horses and cows hair. that's how my Grandparents would find the animals in the morning anyway 🧚🏼♂️🧚🏼♀️🧚🏼
I think many of us still intuit when coming across a sacred place. You see remnants of original stones and moss lichens and trees in a sort of ancient neighborhood- it is respected and left alone ❤️
Temporal mirages. The way some mirages are visual through space. Some are visible through time. A mirage or a reflection of something from another time or another place. Thats what i think at least.
Iam from a tiny hillock village mongchen ,nagaland,India.there is a place in our village where a woman returning from the fields met a group of tiny people cooking in egg shells,on asking them what they were up to they told her they were stationed there for rest and were to reach a place called orangkong that night itself,orangkong is a real place far away from our village,so from facts we can conclude they travel faster than humans
So cool! I want to believe all these stories are real! I enjoy the possibility of them being true. I wouldn't say anyone was fibbing because I've had my own psychic experiences that make people roll their eyes. Just haven't seen any fairies, that I'm aware of anyway. :)
An American. My mom is 83 years old. She told me when she was in high school she and a friend were driving home at night. Mom was driving down a road that had corn fields on each side. It was foggy. She slowed down because she saw something coming out of the corn. She says it was aittle man with shoes that curled up. She says he walked into the middle of the road and stopped and stared at her with a disgusted look on his face, then turned his head and walked across the road to the other side and into the cornfield. She says her friend and she just stared at each other in disbelief. They both acknowledged that they had seen the same thing. Mom says they never spoke about it again. I was little when she told me her experience. When I got a bit older and started to question that story, I asked her to tell me again. She did. She told me it was true. Throughout the years, every once in a while, I asked her again. I am 57 years old. The story has never varied and she has maintained that it happened. My mom is a levelheaded factual thinker, and not one to make up atoriesor gossip. I'm so lucky.
I hope u still have yr mother, if yes, plz record her voice or film her telling this story for the children of yr clan, maybe whisky her up if its possible first to add to the atmosphere n detail
@@homebrandrules I don't know, people would walk into a field in the night time and they wouldn't find ther way out ontill it gets bright, they could be walking all night and never find the entrance to the field
Yes but it’s not the actions of one it’s the actions of many and the corporations are the one who’s really ruining everything I can recycle all I want I’m never gonna save the earth
I'm 4-5th generation Canadian from my Dad's side, my O'Neill ancestor came from Ireland; and from my Mom's side my Great Grandmother Clayton was 1st-2nd Irish-American, she strongly believed in fairies, my Grandma used to say. But I grew up stripped and devoid from anything related to my heritage. Nowadays, I'm reconnecting to my roots by delving into and following Gaelic Traditionalism, and by learning Gaeilge. This is a great resource for us Diaspora Gael descendants, as it is maybe our only way to connect to our tradition bearers. One day I will be able to go to the land of my ancestors. Thank you so much for this.
My Grandmother taught me how to be respectful of the faeries and always carry a heel of bread ❤ my favourite book about the faeries is by Raymond E. Feist called Faerie tale , it's one that's better read during the day and if you're a true believer , it will be better than a Stephen King book ❤
This sent chills down me, in a good way, I saw them. In the fort on our family farm when I was a child. I used to play in there. When it started getting dark I felt.... like I'd over stayed my welcome. Then I got a feeling that I was too old to be there when I was a teenager.
Once I was bushwacking on the west coast of Canada and stopped for a while in a pretty little moss covered sunlit glade. But very soon I began to feel I was being watched from somewhere behind me. I tried to dismiss this feeling as just my imagination, but it grew stronger and I started to feel that whatever was watching me was annoyed and wanted me gone. I looked back but saw nothing. I turned around again and immediately there came a sharp whistle from no more than a few yards behind me. I looked back and again saw nothing. But the feeling of hostility had increased, so I left. A couple of weeks later, I discussed this experience with an indigenous shaman. He told me a story of his people that involved a little green man emerging from a fallen hollow tree, whistling just like I'd heard, and then vanishing. I asked him if he thought that was what I had encountered. "Could be", he replied.
I'm an American, with Irish heritage, from an Irish family that settled over here in the States 150 years back. My whole life I was superstitious. More so than my peers, I guess. Love seeing these videos of Irish people across the pond, and I feel like we are related though we've never met.
you know, the darkness uses networks in person and online... since we are connecting right now, as you read this (if), I am in Oregon, and you are... ?? I now send love and light to any and all reading these words, through this media; as it should be, as it could be, and so it is!! peace, Thaiz, and obviously I am inspired by your expressed sentiments and believe it counts using what we have to do it. bless you
It's so interesting to hear these stories! My daughter goes to Rudolf Steiner pre school and they have beautiful pictures of fairies and read stories about fairies. I don't think we have an exact match for fairies in our folklore in Finland, but I absolutely believe in elves, or they might be called goblins also. I was alone at my friend's summer cottage and roasting meat wrapped in foil on the sauna kiuas. Then I took the meat away without leaving any offering for the sauna elf, how rude! So he took away my lighter. I looked away for a second, and the lighter vanished. I looked everywhere for 10 minutes. Then desperately, I asked for him to give it back. And it appeared in the middle of the bench. I made sure to leave an offering of meat for him in the sauna!
Out of the corner of my eye, I used to see little guys dressed in brown robes; overall impression was brown; but they were very quick, would kind of "whoosh" into and out of sight. Never said anything to my kids or anyone about them. One day my son, about 12 years old, was sitting with me in our kitchen/dining area, kind of glanced beside him, then said "who the heck are those speedy little brown guys?" "They're involved with healing, I think they're called Brownies" I replied, and we didn't ever discuss it again.
I like how respectfully you captured these people and their beliefs. You didn't show them in a way that made them appear crazy or ignorant or anything like that. You show them respectfully and with dignity, and I don't think anyone has to share the belief in faries to appreciate that. :) Very well done.
In the Himalayan foothills we believe in them too though we call them by different names...but yes they exist.. Just as we do. Little people in the forests and woodlands. I believe they will still be around long after we are all gone.
My Grandmother would always tell us a story of a little green man in the woods, who picked a flower and in an instant was gone. She said she was riding her horse in the woods, as she usually did on her grandparents farm growing up, and as she went up a steep trail, she saw this little man as she called him. She said that he was no bigger than 5 inches, with a black outfit and shiny, silver shoes that pointed at the end. She said he was simply picking flowers and observing them, but as soon as he knew he’d been spotted, he seemed to just vanish. She would tell us this story all the time, and we would tell our friends too. As it goes though, we got older and her story just converted into a nonsense tale, one grown ups tell children to peak their imaginations. But even till this day, her being 85 now, she still tells us this story and says it is 100% true. Most of the family just laughs about it now, but I truly believe she saw something that day. Her behavior never changes and she’s never once forgotten a single detail. People say to be logical, and that such beings could never exist. Yet, logically speaking, there’s so much of our world still undiscovered, both on land and in the waters. So, who’s to say such beings don’t exist? Truthfully, It still boggles my mind that as intelligent as we claim to be, we still scoff at the possibility that other intelligence may be out there. That makes most of us pretty half-witted if you ask me! I don’t know what my grandmother saw with her eyes that day in the woods, nearly 75 years ago, but I know she wholeheartedly believes she saw that little green man. So, It will be a story passed down, even after she’s long gone.
I am an American, as are my 8 siblings. Our grandparents were all born in the West of Ireland, so we are pretty removed from it. Still, while none of us exactly believes in the fairies, no one would be foolish enough to talk smack about them! 'Cause you never know.
I recall Eddie caused a bit of rí rá when he raised an objection about a new motorway being built not far from me around 1999, as it would lead to the destruction of a fairy tree. Of course, the council got on the case, and the whitethorn was saved. Gas man. Nice video too, well done!
that is fabulous, and speaks volumes!! those values...priceless. it wouldn't go down that way here in the u.s....unfortunately.. but on my property, they have their own ''community'' area under and through a patch of trees w/ hollow like root systems and thick underbrush... idk, but it looks like fae folk condos, lolol. my grown kids think I'm kidding, or like to kid me about fairies.... i know tinkerbell was a silly representative, and they have a great way of blending in with their environment.. I've ran across a little tableau, that looked like a work station or setting for some activity; like a set table, with bench seats...made of flat stone, half nut shells and tiny buds in shells, halves of sticks that look like benches set along two sides of stone... found under that canopied tree area i mentioned. just strolling thru my wooded property (riverfront, wooded behind) happened to just look down, and saw that.. and took pics, left it all alone.. paid my respects and left. I accept whether it is or isn't what I think, lol.
@@mfrmll3786 where to? I found the tableaux.. If that's what it may be.. I have a file somewhere of a winged, antennae torso of deceased creature with its hands and feet and head gone..probably to obscure identification..maybe birds did the removal of extremities...the shape of the torso/body.. Is what grabbed me,.. And it had huge curled wings, long curly antennas..had turned yellowish all over.. I hope to uncover those pics.. Where should I post them?? somewhere
This is a beautiful video which reminds us of the wonders of this world that us modern folk, entranced with politics, hedonism and technology have all but forgotten.
I learned my lesson! I accidentally got a photo of a tree being while I was playing with the camera on my new phone in my backyard. I was so excited I kept showing my family and friends. Not everyone could see it tho. I had this eerie feeling to stop showing people. Well , I didn’t and the next time I showed someone we had a freak wind tunnel in my yard which took down half my trees. Cost us thousands of dollars to clean it up. Never will I show that photo again!
@@evagerritsen1605 no sorry! I promised I would never show anyone again. I did build a Fairy House for my yard tho. It sits under my Ash tree. This tree being was quite large. I've never seen him again tho I've looked for him. 💜
We have a dryad in the large Oak in front of our apartment building. I have become friends with her slowly, we now greet each other, and she told me her name is Mara.
Have faith ,some of us Irish, don’t change, even in my generation. (Baby boomer) the tales are to be respected. Don’t fuss with the little people. You can’t see em, so ya think they don’t exist?can ya see the air you’re breathing?
I lived at the foot of a Faerie Mountain in New Zealand as a child. Everyone among the Maori recognized it as such. My Dad was part Irish and worked for many years as a missionary to the Australian Aborigines, and he believed about the Patu-Pae-Erehei (Maori Faeries). We went up on the mountain for a walk one day when I was about four "to look for the faeries" and I saw a fresh faery footprint in the mud! We also saw logs in a little circle where the moss had been worn off, as though little bottoms had been sitting on them! There was no fire in the circle, as Maori faeries don't have fire, they are frightened of it and eat all their food raw. There are stories of famous historical figures going up to the mountain and meeting with the faery folk, and tales of them kidnapping women and men for their spouses. Sometimes they would allow the woman to return (or she would escape), and if she was pregnant, she would bear a child with pale skin, blonde or red hair and blue or green eyes. This happened many times, prior to the arrival of the White Man, and when the White Man first arrived in that area, they noticed these red headed and blonde headed, green and blue eyed people. Many of these people live in that area to this day, and many have never married into the White Man. When they are DNA tested, they show no European ancestry, but a shared ancestry with the Chachapoya Cloud People of the South American Andes. The Chachapoya were reputed to be a Magickal Race as well descended from Spirits or gods, so you never know...
Although ignored by the authorities and told they don`t exist, their descendants say they are originally from what is now Iran ; then on to India ; and that they stopped for a time in Peru ( which would explain the Chachapoya connection) before continuing on to New Zealand. I believe this was well over 3,000 years ago. I don´t understand why anthropologists and historians aren´t falling over themselves to study these amazing people.
@@shawnmccormick7778 so you have to put down all believers of Jesus just because one said it was demons? C’mon people. I believe in Jesus, as do many of these Irish speaking also of fairies. We know a lot as humans but we probably don’t even know the half of it! You don’t have to make things so black and white...that goes for both of you! (J Joseph AND Shawn McCormick)
I believe id love to see....my daughter when she was little said she saw a little man who went down stairs to basement. I was told he was a dwarf who takes care of things under ground like plumbing and such to leave pretty stones
My second great grandfather came to the USA as a wee lad and was still alive albeit very very old , near 102 when I can remember him. I loved the way he talked and he always did tell me that faerie folk werent silly little tinkerbells. He told me they could be very mischievious especially if you killed a cricket. To this day way over the pond in the USA this woman
I hiked through Ireland when I was young and I saw some odd things when moving through the empty areas, away from town. I believe these people completely.
Some people sense and see these things others can't, as the man said. These lovely little things, these earth energies or whatever you care to call them leave a lovely scent wherever they have been.
I grew up on stories from Eddie Lenihan at talks and he used to come to our house with them. We spent time with my grandparents generation and they all shared these stories and traditions. I have been writing for the last few years to preserve them for my children and their generation. It is almost entirely wiped from the thoughts of people in ireland today. Hopefully Balor O'brien will be able to revive some interest in it.
I’m from NZ and my Brother in law as a young guy was walking his girlfriend home across a piece of waste land in the dark, saw a small orange light in a bush and he went to kick it. His girlfriend begged him to leave it alone, but he kicked it. When he came back through, it was gone but he didn’t feel as if he was alone anymore. I went to bed upstairs in the room he shared with his younger Brother. He started screaming and woke the whole house up. His Mother rushed in and he was as white as a sheet! He was pointing at the window and was screaming that the orange light had climbed up the window which was shut, gotten taller and taller and then some black stuff had started pouring down the inside of the window pane. They were tough, hardened NZ farmers, not afraid of anything! My ex was his younger Brother and he said he’d never heard anything like it!
Such a pleasure to hear these lovely Irish voices, taking their time, speaking of a day and age where life was lived at a slower pace. We had time to notice the fairies in the old days.
My great grandfather, James Edward Hanley, was born in County Clare in 1850. My dad talked about his grandfather telling stories about the wee folk. Thank you for this video.
My Nanny used to tell us about the fairies when I was little. I guess I still believe in them. I've seen Eddie Lenihan in other films about the fairies, and he's very wise. Thank you for sharing this video!! ~Janet in Canada
I grew up with a grandmom from the North of Portugal. In the province of Tras-os-Montes people kept the old ways. That is a celtic place from the time the Celtas mixed with the Iberos. The dialect and language is very influenced by Celtic culture and lore. Things like never throw warm water on the garden not to hurt the Little People, planting an herb garden with enough herbs and medicinal herbs to share with them. Don’t destroy 🍄 you find on the field for the fairies eat them, so many small things so different from the other Portuguese provinces. The music with bagpipes, the the food like by example, colkannon, just eaten there. The dialect is full of celtic words and the traditions are the same, and the red hair is prevalent among us. The other side of the frontier, in Galicia, is closer to us than the others (portuguese). Yes, fairies exist. They are a fact! Is modern people that lost the contact with them and the wisdom of their protection. I wish I had them here in my new land of America... then I would not be so alone...
I've seen them in Colorado. Don't despair---they are everywhere! There is a place in Virginia called Perelandra, where fairies instruct the leader how to plant her garden. Look it up. Go visit.
Thank you for sharing your story. I just love reading all the comments, for I learn so many new things. It’s amazing how cultures can intertwine. It sounds like a beautiful place indeed. ✨❤️✨
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. 🍀🌟🧝🏻♂️✨🧙🏻♂️🧭🌖🧚🏻♂️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻🫅🏻🕯️💖
I’m from the US and was traveling in Ireland just as sunset disappears and you are in the gloaming, the time when day gives in to night -if you’re in the countryside you can feel them.
I am 50 yrs old, no mental health issues other than the state of the country drives me batty (FJB). I live in the Pacific Northwest, and one night while outside looking for UFOs with my nightvision, I saw these things flying high above the trees and they looked iridescent fluorescent pinkish...I recorded them for a long time because I knew they had to be fairies. This was two years ago, and for this entire time I have been completely obsessed. I have over a terabyte of video and have recorded 10 or 12 types. They literally come in my room almost daily and gather all the little pieces of my dog's little bones and they arrange them in little smiley faces, or little fairie shaped stick people. I leave them sweets, and I know they play with my 3lb dog a lot. One came in my living room and was there for just a couple seconds before she disappeared but I got a couple pics, as I already had my camera on taking pics of my dog. They stole a ring of mine and getting it back was an ordeal that took months. I am fascinated by them, and I work daily on the relationship between us because I just cant not. Its important to me. I love those little rascals.
All of these stories of fairies and other creatures of folklore need to be collected and preserved. All to often in history, beliefs , myths and legends have been lost. The big ones often remain, but the little local ones tend to get lost and this is a crying same. Whether they're true or not they demonstrate the imagination of people and the foundation of their cultures. Sadly, alot of the people who know the stories are nearing the end of their days, so time is of the essence. So, if you know someone who knows these stories, sit with them, write the stories down and put them somewhere on the web .
I was brought up listening about faery folk stories off my dad . He would say they lived in our tree down our back . I have pictures I had drawn when I was 5 and I'm 63 now and I still draw them . My kids are in 30 s and they hear me talk about them and they are all born in Australia . I've lived here for 51 yrs and I have a tree in me yard that I put dangling objects on for the wee little faeries . My friends kids love it . Australian kids don't hear the stories off mam and dad but off me a different story . They live in my faery houses in my garden . It's nice to tell a story isn't it ?
"It's we who have changed" That hit me hard because it is true. We no longer see nature as an equal or a friend, but something to profit off of or treat poorly. The Fae are still here and will always be here, waiting for us to either change our ways or destroy ourselves in our own foolishness. I believe in Fae and respect them as I would an old friend. Believe in them, even if you cannot see them.
I haven't changed, no matter what people think of me......... the tiniest insect that finds it's way into the house goes back outside, alive and well and handled gently :-) The bird bath has clean water, the bird feeder is full, the spider's webs stay where they are, etc. Honor ALL life :-) I sit on the porch and send out waves of love to the trees, the flowers, the grass, etc. and I thank them for making this planet beautiful! I hope one day the fairies feel safe enough to allow humans to see them, I know we'd learn a lot from them.
Indeed. There is no difference from believing in Fairies than believing in Angels! If we can’t believe in one supernatural existence, how can we find comfort in any other.
actually its the spliced in abominations that dissected us, drugs us, kidnapped us, bred in , dumbed down, harassed, and dissected and PRETENDED freewill and harassed and mocked those of life into the harassment over shadowing being until those things of us we ourselves would destroy in truth if I were the tree of life I'd send the world to hell even the real fruit of the tree of life and be the ONLY one allowed to be dead and uncreated people seem to think that any creature in this world should be exempt, they know nothing of spirit them, that a single fruit of the tree of life got mocked or parasited off means it happens to ALL and I'm not talking about evil jesus/ satan whoa re one and usurped dominion of self and pitted spirit against itself by its/ his/. abominable self existing alas I cant explain, but it will be all cast back, along side his father thoth who spliced them into existence its done and damage to spirit doesn't get undone and he did speak truth in one thing though in his not real double tongue but destructive to live hypocritical double tongue way THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF SPIIRT they don't seem to get those of life who have been destroyed are within their rights to curse the rest of the world for it, and do the bs concept of forgiveness if has to be told form an outside source is NOT within the realm of life therefore a rape and dissection further of spirit and turns wholesome animals into sheep and that is the WORST agony of ALL but no amount of agony is sufficient, for once you cut deep enough of the spirit of life, there is no level of agony and retribution that can be just, they will all just wallow in that which they have caused I noticed the freemasonic, catholic, black and white tiles behind her over btw I used to have my own inner eye, now all I see is that crap like going down a a whole and when I was dissected into a religious fanatical stage found it evil alas the damage they had to do, well this women and her ancestors descendants and brothers and sisters will FEEL it forever, as its done creator, vs splicing ion abomination 24000 years is a day the hour of destruction of 2000 years when evil jesus can what his openly taking his seat and pretending another whilst telling you who he was everything is done its already been done this is the year of the ox, I hope they kill the heifer (life) soon this world was a never ending dissection of agonizing hell
I have not yet seen a fairy but I think I was close to it. I was working in the garden last summer and saw something like sun reflecting on water in between ivy leaves on the edge of the garden. It was a dull, overcast day so it definitely wasn't the sun plus this part of the garden is shady from around noon - it was much later than that. I was watching the light for a while out of the corner of my eye and then said hello. The light disappeared as soon as I said it and didn't come back. I do hear music when I'm there as well, like a fiddle. It's very faint so can't say which direction it's coming from. The property is in the middle of nowhere so it's definitely not coming from the neighbours. I also heard the banshee in the fields behind my house few years back. Still gives me goosebumps when I think of it. My partner at the time said it was probably a fox but I don't think so. I heard many foxes throughout my life and while the sound is eerie it's nothing comparing to what I've heard that night. My best friend saw a fairy in his garden on few occasions, tiny little thing darting around the place like a hummingbird. Always disappears when it sees him. I caught a glimpse of something shiny once, when I was visiting him but that's it.
Nope only a few years ago in Ireland a whole motorway was diverted because they were going to have to dig up a fairy Fort. We got ridiculed in the news from the USA and UK but we don't care. In Ireland we know and respect the little people
@@eire3261 too much has been taken, when does it end. Do we really need all of it! There’s nothing wrong with the old ways, people have become ignorant and lazy. I’m so pleased you all won this fight.
I was told they exist and shown where they live - by people who were not silly. It's a fascinating subject due respect. Thanks for making this video with interviews.
I know several people, from all time of backgrounds who have seen fairies (and not like "oh I think I saw something", but clear as day seeing it in front of them ) and one person who saw gnomes (from the description, at least, i would say that's what it was). All of them from France. Very sane minded and grounded kind of people. Some of them were really surprised/shocked. People will become closer to nature again someday, and they will learn to feel, to hear and to see again .
There are many things that are inexplicable in the world, and that is why the world is still magical. I have a science degree. Thank you for the video and the comment section is fascinating 💖 from Australia 🦘xx
Fable of the cry wolf is so important. If someone whom you know, to be an honest person, tells you something extraordinary. Why would you not extend them the benefit of the doubt. This is why integrity matters. One day, you will need someone to believe in you. My grand would always have us bid good morning to the fairys as we crossed the bridge across the beck. That said. She liked a whiskey as much as any Irish. 😂
When I lived in Scotland, there were hawthorn tree behind the house where some woods began. They were small trees that blossomed heavily each year. They made a full circle. I left some things but never thought of butter. I don’t live there anymore but there is a round clearing in my new woods and nothing grows in it. I’m going to get some butter….
I have always believed in faries my family originally came from Ireland and the the tales that were told to us when we were small just stay with me. 😊😊😊😊🐱🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
My experience is that through yoga and detoxification, the world of the fairies has become increasingly apparent. Humans are meant to be walking shamen, hand in hand with the fairies, the planet and fully conscious of their multidimensional nature. Anything less and we can define ourselves as half wits.
We must give up the self-serving idea of human exceptionalism. We are all brothers and sisters in our Earth Mother's creation within Her living biome of life.. And we have to stop super-imposing our exclusively human ideologies over the surface of our Mother Earth, 'communism'. 'capitalism'.socialism. etc., etc.. These abstractions distance us from the truth of where we REALLY are - on our Blessed Mother Earth, immersed within the Divine Love energy being of our Great Cosmic Mother always and everywhere. When I was around 5, I would often see a fairie on a little grassy knoll on my way to school and we would talk through mental telepathy. Being a small child, I thought there was nothing strange about it at all. I still remember him. I'm 72 now. We are all here together, Always. Planetize - don't globalize.
@@sunnyboy4553 your comment just helped me so much. I'm 17, my whole life I've been fascinated with fairies but told they're just a made up creature like the rest, but something about the fairies felt different, like its truth wouldn't conform to being a fairytale creature. I really hope to detox and get away from where I'm living, the social constructs and beliefs are ruining me mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
@@narfinarf5920 keep believing, God's ways are not our ways, His ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts higher than our thoughts... You keep your eyes on the wonderment of Love, and you will be amazed at the things you can see. Hug, 😉

Thank you. Thank you so much. This is better than any book I’ve read. My research into people missing from national parks has brought me to fairy lore ❤️
I am so happy to find someone else wondering enough to look into it. I firmly believe that the majority of these natl park issues are from something not human. I investigate those type things.
@@HOLLYHOUSE11 I don’t know about them being “non human”, however my mind is open. If you’re interested, look into the Nazis building UFOs towards the end of the war & escaping to Antarctica. Robert Sepehr has great videos on here about subterranean civilizations as well. It’s my belief this is all connected.

If this is the Tess that I knew from NJ, what's been up? Anyway, I remember after local woods were leveled I was vetted by a duo of a green T-bone shaped insectoid and a black fuzzy one that appeared to be all stinger and eyes. I've also encountered The Barkman among many other things. It's best to not mess around with them.
Thank you for this. Something charming in a miserable world ❤

I am Welsh. One day I climbed a hill and at the top was a meadow with an ancient tree. Every 4 to 6 years these giant toadstools would grow from it's base and us locals would go to look. Well this one year I went up there to see and a tiny, not more than 1 ft being poked his head from behind the toadstool. His skin was green. His clothes were green and brown. He smiled and waved at me and then was gone like a wisp of smoke. I will never forget him. He remains with me 50 years later as a precious encounter. Faerie folk exist.
I wonder were it went...perhaps they live in a different dimension and are probably wary of humans, no wonder we can be quite ignorant and dangerous. I follow a channel here on TH-cam called beyond creepy that reports all kinds of unusual encounters with different things from moving trees and gremlins to werewolf type creatures and bigfoot. They can't all be nonsense and hearsay. I believe sometimes people genuinely encounter something they don't understand.
.....one easy I climbed a hill and smoked some killer herb...... Geesh
I’m an artist, I would love to draw him, if you could describe him more in detail I can do my best
@@sixfeetundertheradar6080 He was between 10 - 12 inches tall. His skin was a darkish green. Not bright sap green. More like moss colour. His eyes were large and sparkled even though they were either darkest brown or black. His features were sharp but not old and he wore a cap that pointed forward that looked as if it were made of overlapping leaves. His clothes were the same. Overlapping and all were green with tinges of brown. He was slender, fragile. I didn't see his legs or shoes just the upper body, waist. I will never forget him. I was meant to see him that day. Hope to again in this world or the next. Much later in life I moved to the USA and became the only gnome maker in the USA and only 1 of 2 in the world that sculpted and reproduced extremely rare clay gnomes. (Kimmel Gnomes). I did that for 20 years with no knowledge of sculpting or ceramics but was able to take it up with almost no learning curve. Don't know if connected somehow but there it is. Thank You!
@@Candy-ji1sr That's awesome that the experience perhaps influenced you with making the gnomes. I love creative people who make quirky or unusual things! I was never any good at drawing or art but I'm not too bad at making daft box puppets or sock puppets lol I also seem to have a knack for making up unusual names for characters I invent and my own strange words e.g a galooga popel floffin egg laid by a gribdinik papodycoodies chicken. Sounds like absolute nonsense and it's just gobbledygook but some people find it quite amusing and I enjoy making up strange creatures with outrageous names
I wanna sit down for tea with that old lady and just listen to her stories
the gentleman with the big bushy beard is/was an author and storyteller and would do sittings for groups. I was in ireland back in 07, and the school group I was with had the honor of sitting with him with a roaring peat fire at sundown while he shared stories. That itself was magic, but it makes you realize just how real the magic is when you get to enjoy sharing that time with someone who wants to enlighten you about their culture and something special to them.
We (me, my wife and 3 girls) stopped in Donegal for a week once in a cottage rented out by the family of a friend of mine who was from over there. His Aunty Mary came around every day with a plate full of scones and in the evening for a game of Queenie with old pennies. The girls loved it. Irish people are wonderful and so is Ireland. Long may it be that way.
@@chesterite74 I love Eddie. I went to listen to one of his talks about the faerie people few years ago, it was marvelous. We live in the same county so I used to see him in Ennis a lot. He's always in his own world.
I'm 60yrs old and Australian. I 💯 percent believe in fairies. I saw a female one in a bush in our garden about twilight when I was about 2yrs. It was summer and mum was bringing in the washing late. I was toddling around, when I saw her looking at me from behind a leaf 🍃. I remember distinctly, going a few steps and crouching on my feet , I looked at her, she looked up at me , she wasn't frightened of me, probably because of my innocence. Mum called me after a few seconds and I just toddled off. I told her, I saw a little lady in the bush, I didn't know many words at that age, and definitely hadn't heard of fairies. It was then mum told me , oh Louie, you saw the fairy. Mum was part Irish, she knew she was there all along, but never ever mentioned it, till I revealed my sighting. I will always, always know they exist. ❤❤
My name is Louise and my mum calls me Louie too. I'm from WA and 54 💖 xx
@@LouLou-jo5ln hi Louie, cool name aye. Louise. NSW. Namaste.

As 5yr old 50 years ago I peeked out the window at my nanas house at dawn and saw about 4 or 5 little people playing around her letter/milk box.
No one would believe me except my nana who said that ‘I had a touch of the Irish’. and that’s why I could see them.
I can still picture them in my mind as clear as I did that day.
how little were they?
@@ata5855 about 12”s. Climbing in and out of the milk box.. and running around it. The empty milk bottles had been taken out. My nana did say when I told them..that the full bottles when she collected them were out of the box.
Cathy, thank U so much for sharing this story with us ❤️🙏
I believe U.
Greetings from germany, Caroline :)
I remember reading a lovely story in a book of ghost stories, no less, that talked about people finding these tiny stone fairy crosses. I think it was in England or Ireland. There was a lovely legend about it, that the crosses were made of fairies' tears. They were dancing when they heard about Christ's death. Then they all broke down crying and each tear became one of these little crosses. I always thought that was one of the loveliest stories I ever heard!
@@cathy14cs leprechauns, brownies, or sprites?
My Granny swore the fairies were real. Today it is still written into deeds of homes, that the bushes are not to be removed.
Is it all bushes, or only a specific kind?
So did mine and now I'm a granny myself and I tell all the magical stories to my grandchildren that was told to me and they believe just like I did and still do don't interfere with the fairys and there forts people say they don't believe in that kind of nonsense but I dare any farmer to destroy a fairy fort No way they wouldn't touch them
I wish your granny was mine
so my granny in mayo
@@meganscureman Hawthorn bushes mainly
I am Welsh when I was about 11 years I went away with friends in the summer time, we stayed in a cottage in the middle of nowhere in Wales near Lampeter. The cottage was surrounded by a forest. I went out to get something from the car and saw very tiny people no bigger than sindy or Barbie dolls playing on the grass area near the car. They stopped and looked up at me I was more terrified of them than they were of me. I ran back into the cottage. I have never forgotten this I am now 65.
It's not that they're small, it's that they're far away. I'm Irish, I believe you, do be careful around those beings.
Look, even if the faeries aren't real (I believe they are, though!), the fairy forts shouldn't be cut down anyway. They're still an important part of the culture and history of Ireland
The people who believe, know not to mess with the fairy forts
The people who do not know
Pay the consequences dairly
I think that the White Thorn bushes are also supposed to be an indication of faery folk. They grow up quickly, and can be very destructive. They easily pull clothes, fur and flesh, and make people want revenge.
But fairys are real just like magic only no one can teach you magic you have to remember how to use it and that knowledge is locked in every cell in your body
@Haru X what can you not read
If you like faeries look up Erwin Saunders on TH-cam. Obviously not real but really well done and very endearing.
I used to live across the street from a little patch of woods. A screech owl lived in it, I would listen for it's call every night. Right about at dusk, little tiny lights would appear in the underbrush and bushes all along the edge of the woods. They wouldn't move around like fireflies but we're stationary, as if the fairies were lighting their lanterns with the dusk. It was wild and magical!
Lol It's called 'pixie dust'
@@Vayriee dont mock what you dont understand.
There are too other countries and cultures who talk of Fairies and Little People, maybe... just maybe there's an element of truth in these tales., every person from near and far who talk of these mysterious people cant 'all' be wrong......

yep.
3 generations saw same one night years ago.
@Heloise O'Byrne 😂 ewww yuck! But fairies are much more magical than squishy wormy things, so I would rather believe they were fairy lanterns. 🌼🌿🎆🏮🎆🎐
My grandma insisted fairies live on her farm we used to think she was crazy when she made them little furniture left them out gifts she always said they protected her, one morning at about 7 am I went to the barn to feed her pet pig, we had a barrel full of apples and I would toss him some, as I was approaching the barrel I heard something from inside, then all a sudden out scrambled a little man he had little boots, brown little trousers and a hat, he swung from the barrel, slid down and ran into a hole in the ground, I was stunned!! Even my dogs were shocked they wouldn’t leave the hole he ran into, a bit bigger then a squirrels, I will never second guess grandma ever again. And now as rich city ppl flock to her area and buy up land they have been trying to force her out and it always falls through things always go wrong for them, I really believe they protect her and her land. 🧚💗
Where is she located. Not specifically just generally.
God bless your granny!

Ireland is such a beautiful magical place, my grandma from Ireland would tell me endless stories and fairytales about fairy’s, that you should always believe. To this day I am 24 and still very much believe. Most people that I know don’t and probably think I’m weird for it, but my heart and my love for anything Irish will always be in my heart.
Please can you share a story?! I'm so interested to hear!
@@donerkebab778 it’s been so long since I have heard a story from my grandmother, I can’t think of any that I could tell you, she died 3rd April in the first lockdown unfortunately from frailty, thank god it wasn’t COVID 19, I think because I was so close with her, I might of blanked it, I remember my mum would say that her dad told her about the banshee, she told me and it spooked me so much I can’t remember what she said about it now, but I do remember my grandma would tell me about leprechauns about how at the bottom of the garden you could hear constant tapping, and if you ever catch one don’t ever turn away because if not there gone.
I'm 21 and believe in that stuff too, though I feel maybe ppl my age are less inclined to believe in this stuff anymore. But as an Irish person there are many stories in the family of fairies! It's great to keep those memories alive and pass them down to further generations. 💖
@@laoisemeehan couldn’t agree more, could I ask how you would say your name, I would say it as Leesha, only because someone I know is called Aoise (Eesha), it’s a name I’ve sort of never heard before until this person that I know.

I've met many people in Ireland, including young poeple, who have seen the fairies. An earlier generation took them for granted, and it's not so common now. But yes, people still do see the fairies.
Same for me in France. Many people. Very sane minded people. Some of them were really surprised. People will become closer to nature again someday, and they will learn to feel, to hear and see again .

At 67 I've seen alot of things but no fairies. I hope I do before I leave this earth.
I have two Hawtorn( Fairy Trees) in my side garden. During a bad storm a few yrs ago another tree ( ash) lost a huge limb and I was evacuated outside to the front of my home for nearly 7 hours while two teams of Arborists ( tree surgeons) took the Enormous limb off. During conversation with the "Tree inspector" he told me that no arborist would ever fell a Hawthorn tree on account off their connection to the spiritual realm. Also travellers ( Gypsies) will not cut from a Hollywood tree untill a certain date in Nov. An Almond branch was used by Aaron in the Bible and Cedar trees/ Fig trees and Olive branches also figure prominently in the scriptures and The ancient Druids always gathered under an Oak tree. How forgetful we have become regard the Spiritual significance of the Realms hidden in plain sight
there is no hawthorn tree, only bushes.
There are, you just haven't seen one old enough as they grow very slowly. There's one with a diameter of 25cm and 10 meters tall on a river bank near to where I live...
The lady saying the non believer's being more educated.. That may be true in academic terms but there are many levels of intelligence and knowledge and this lovely lady and all in the know really have the knowledge of what others don't understand or can begin to comprehend. 💚
Once my cousin inherited the land (in County Clare) he did just that..cut down the faery fort. Shortly thereafter, his wife almost went blind and on top of that, she suffered a miscarriage. Everyone talked of it and blamed it on the cutting down of the fort. I remember that lovely mystical fort well.
I was sceptical of fairies, I thought they were from times gone by. About 12 yrs. ago, my daughter and I were walking just outside my friends house, which was in the forest. It was mid summer, I heard a whiring sound, like a really fast fluttering. It just appeared, and in a few seconds disappeared. She said Mom, did you see that.?? I sure did,... looked like if it landed in a tree, it would be very well camouflaged.
Must have been a woodlands Fairy, It looked a little scary, kind of like a larger butterfly, but thin, about 1 1/2 feet long, with lots of dangling things off it wings. Natural colors of browns.
I heard that whirring sound, twice after that. I felt it was up to no good. Felt faint.
After seeing the forest Fairie, my friend said he had seen little green fairies in his garden, but had never told anyone.
This is a true story from Ontario Canada.
The whirring sound is alien.....I know it
@@moniqueturnbull2003 weird- my grandfather spoke of a whirring sound, then said he saw something like a tiny ufo hovering around him when he was out working alone in the field.

I used to be a new ager and psychic and talked to them a lot, including "ufo's", but when the Lord God of the Bible grabbed me out of that world, and brought me to the Cross of His Son Jesus, I learned through the Holy Spirit and other believers that ALL spirits, save for the Holy Spirit of God and HIS angels are demons. Before I was saved, I used to see them and talk to them and they would of course lie about what they were. After I was saved, let's just say, they aren't "cute and mischievous" anymore, but quite evil in their intentions. I know, I'm sorry to say that, because I used to really believe they were lovely nature spirits, etc. I really really did. I was born in the U.S. but have Celt blood in me from my dad's side. God bless!
it could have been some kind of nightjar bird, the description and also sound matches
I'v seen one Fairy once only. I'm a securty officer at night and the the area I was in is like a park. Walking to the end of a building 5 feet off the ground. next to a pine tree hovered the fairy suprized by my presents I shined my flashlight at it and it came foward to me about 5 feet. It was the same size as a Barbi Doll, and it wore a sliver atire that exposed no outside seatures, even the face was hidden. We looked at each outher and I apologised for disturbing her. She must have felt I was no threat tured away and changed color to match the pine tree outer surface and I contunued my patrols. No I did not return that night to the same spot. This is the 1st time I reveal this. God thee father has many creations why not Fairies.
This is so neat.
Sounds more like the Banshee
Thanks for sharing your story. And yes, the Creator has made many creatures that we don't even know about.
Wow thank you for sharing that with us 🍀🙏🏼
@@CathyD1976 ive seen a banshee..... theyre scary🤐
I was born in USA but I remember the fairy stories from my Irish grandma passed on to her by her mother and so on. There was a great Irish culture in the 50's 60's in the USA. I remember dressing in green ( always a beautiful, new green dress sewn by my grandmother ) for St. Patrick's Day and singing traditional Irish songs at school. I don't think there is the same spirit or interest in the past as there use to be. We blame it on technology but it also a lack of curiosity for the past. For me it's fundamental to preserve!!
When people respect folklore the world becomes a safer place.
I didn't say believing in it, i said respect it.
It makes people take care of their surroundings and each other.
It sparks conversations.
Keeps communities together.
I don't believe in gnomes, but just in case, i continue doing the yearly tradition of placing sacrificial food in the backyard on certain occasions.
What it does for me is making me relax. It is a meditative gesture.
And a promise to not forget my ancestor's traditions.
Great attitude.
You are so spot on, great take on folklore and traditions
There is many a strange wonder left on this earth for us to discover.
Never dismiss the old ways out of folly.
When my Irish grandmother gave me a cookie or candy she would always give me an extra one to keep in my pocket in case I encountered a fairy. Since fairies can be mischivious, she said, offer it a cookie so they will leave you alone. I always got to eat the other cookie though. Lol
@Slavery is Freedom, War is Peace No, she never really believed they were real, it was just fun.
Awesome
@Slavery is Freedom, War is Peace really?
@Slavery is Freedom, War is Peace I certainly hope so... absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
aawwhhh how cute
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
I love fairy tales they remind me of my childhood and my Grandparents tales about them. I grew up in Italy in the countryside by the mountains.
one of the stories about them was that the fairies would go at night to the stables and that they would be platting the horses and cows hair. that's how my Grandparents would find the animals in the morning anyway 🧚🏼♂️🧚🏼♀️🧚🏼
I think many of us still intuit when coming across a sacred place. You see remnants of original stones and moss lichens and trees in a sort of ancient neighborhood- it is respected and left alone ❤️
I would leave it alone anyways, whether I believed in fairies or not. It's beautiful and wild.
Temporal mirages. The way some mirages are visual through space. Some are visible through time. A mirage or a reflection of something from another time or another place. Thats what i think at least.
Iam from a tiny hillock village mongchen ,nagaland,India.there is a place in our village where a woman returning from the fields met a group of tiny people cooking in egg shells,on asking them what they were up to they told her they were stationed there for rest and were to reach a place called orangkong that night itself,orangkong is a real place far away from our village,so from facts we can conclude they travel faster than humans
So cool! I want to believe all these stories are real! I enjoy the possibility of them being true. I wouldn't say anyone was fibbing because I've had my own psychic experiences that make people roll their eyes. Just haven't seen any fairies, that I'm aware of anyway. :)
@@denisehill1705 The more open you are to the possibility, the more you'll see - of course being psychic.
My late father (RIP)❤ was a farmer's son from the Banner- the people respected the fairies and their place in the community.
An American. My mom is 83 years old. She told me when she was in high school she and a friend were driving home at night. Mom was driving down a road that had corn fields on each side. It was foggy. She slowed down because she saw something coming out of the corn. She says it was aittle man with shoes that curled up. She says he walked into the middle of the road and stopped and stared at her with a disgusted look on his face, then turned his head and walked across the road to the other side and into the cornfield.
She says her friend and she just stared at each other in disbelief. They both acknowledged that they had seen the same thing.
Mom says they never spoke about it again.
I was little when she told me her experience. When I got a bit older and started to question that story, I asked her to tell me again. She did. She told me it was true.
Throughout the years, every once in a while, I asked her again.
I am 57 years old. The story has never varied and she has maintained that it happened.
My mom is a levelheaded factual thinker, and not one to make up atoriesor gossip.
I'm so lucky.
she was lucky 🍀 to see it ⭐️⭐️
IV never seen 1 but I HERD story's about people who have been trapped in fairy rings over night ontill it gets bright
@@yousall7259 those ppl trapped in them fairy rings...... did they have headaches the next day....
I hope u still have yr mother, if yes, plz record her voice or film her telling this story for the children of yr clan, maybe whisky her up if its possible first to add to the atmosphere n detail
@@homebrandrules I don't know, people would walk into a field in the night time and they wouldn't find ther way out ontill it gets bright, they could be walking all night and never find the entrance to the field
Take care of the Earth. It really is simple.
Yes but it’s not the actions of one it’s the actions of many and the corporations are the one who’s really ruining everything I can recycle all I want I’m never gonna save the earth

I'm 4-5th generation Canadian from my Dad's side, my O'Neill ancestor came from Ireland; and from my Mom's side my Great Grandmother Clayton was 1st-2nd Irish-American, she strongly believed in fairies, my Grandma used to say. But I grew up stripped and devoid from anything related to my heritage. Nowadays, I'm reconnecting to my roots by delving into and following Gaelic Traditionalism, and by learning Gaeilge. This is a great resource for us Diaspora Gael descendants, as it is maybe our only way to connect to our tradition bearers. One day I will be able to go to the land of my ancestors. Thank you so much for this.
Supposedly we have Murphy somewhere on my dad's side. I would love to see Ireland!
Just Go, they all speak English now ❤
My Grandmother taught me how to be respectful of the faeries and always carry a heel of bread ❤ my favourite book about the faeries is by Raymond E. Feist called Faerie tale , it's one that's better read during the day and if you're a true believer , it will be better than a Stephen King book ❤
Something to root out!
Faerie Tale is great. You should also read Tamsin by Peter s. Beagle. Technically its a ghost story but incorporates many of the faeries in it.
This sent chills down me, in a good way, I saw them. In the fort on our family farm when I was a child. I used to play in there. When it started getting dark I felt.... like I'd over stayed my welcome. Then I got a feeling that I was too old to be there when I was a teenager.
Once I was bushwacking on the west coast of Canada and stopped for a while in a pretty little moss covered sunlit glade. But very soon I began to feel I was being watched from somewhere behind me. I tried to dismiss this feeling as just my imagination, but it grew stronger and I started to feel that whatever was watching me was annoyed and wanted me gone. I looked back but saw nothing. I turned around again and immediately there came a sharp whistle from no more than a few yards behind me. I looked back and again saw nothing. But the feeling of hostility had increased, so I left.
A couple of weeks later, I discussed this experience with an indigenous shaman. He told me a story of his people that involved a little green man emerging from a fallen hollow tree, whistling just like I'd heard, and then vanishing. I asked him if he thought that was what I had encountered. "Could be", he replied.
Beautiful. I have believed for as long as I can remember in my 69 years of life.
I'm an American, with Irish heritage, from an Irish family that settled over here in the States 150 years back. My whole life I was superstitious. More so than my peers, I guess. Love seeing these videos of Irish people across the pond, and I feel like we are related though we've never met.
“If you can’t believe believe in faeries… you can’t believe in god”
YESSSS words of wisdom
I went to see this man as a student in Limerick back in the early 2000's I really loved his storytelling... He had a real gift.

I believe in the Fair Folk and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

This video is so relaxing.
My husband and I believe in faries,we once saw an elf on a walk in the frost and ice one bitter winters morning in North Yorkshire 🍄🍄
It's so interesting to hear these stories! My daughter goes to Rudolf Steiner pre school and they have beautiful pictures of fairies and read stories about fairies. I don't think we have an exact match for fairies in our folklore in Finland, but I absolutely believe in elves, or they might be called goblins also. I was alone at my friend's summer cottage and roasting meat wrapped in foil on the sauna kiuas. Then I took the meat away without leaving any offering for the sauna elf, how rude! So he took away my lighter. I looked away for a second, and the lighter vanished. I looked everywhere for 10 minutes. Then desperately, I asked for him to give it back. And it appeared in the middle of the bench. I made sure to leave an offering of meat for him in the sauna!
Out of the corner of my eye, I used to see little guys dressed in brown robes; overall impression was brown; but they were very quick, would kind of "whoosh" into and out of sight. Never said anything to my kids or anyone about them. One day my son, about 12 years old, was sitting with me in our kitchen/dining area, kind of glanced beside him, then said "who the heck are those speedy little brown guys?" "They're involved with healing, I think they're called Brownies" I replied, and we didn't ever discuss it again.
I love listening to the old people from the country, the accents and tones are beautiful!
I'm glad I saw this , it helps me belive I will be OK. Thank you.
Eddie! I loved him! I met him once when I was on a study abroad in Ireland. He is magical like the land
I like how respectfully you captured these people and their beliefs. You didn't show them in a way that made them appear crazy or ignorant or anything like that. You show them respectfully and with dignity, and I don't think anyone has to share the belief in faries to appreciate that. :) Very well done.
In the Himalayan foothills we believe in them too though we call them by different names...but yes they exist.. Just as we do. Little people in the forests and woodlands.
I believe they will still be around long after we are all gone.
My Grandmother would always tell us a story of a little green man in the woods, who picked a flower and in an instant was gone. She said she was riding her horse in the woods, as she usually did on her grandparents farm growing up, and as she went up a steep trail, she saw this little man as she called him. She said that he was no bigger than 5 inches, with a black outfit and shiny, silver shoes that pointed at the end. She said he was simply picking flowers and observing them, but as soon as he knew he’d been spotted, he seemed to just vanish. She would tell us this story all the time, and we would tell our friends too. As it goes though, we got older and her story just converted into a nonsense tale, one grown ups tell children to peak their imaginations. But even till this day, her being 85 now, she still tells us this story and says it is 100% true. Most of the family just laughs about it now, but I truly believe she saw something that day. Her behavior never changes and she’s never once forgotten a single detail. People say to be logical, and that such beings could never exist. Yet, logically speaking, there’s so much of our world still undiscovered, both on land and in the waters. So, who’s to say such beings don’t exist? Truthfully, It still boggles my mind that as intelligent as we claim to be, we still scoff at the possibility that other intelligence may be out there. That makes most of us pretty half-witted if you ask me! I don’t know what my grandmother saw with her eyes that day in the woods, nearly 75 years ago, but I know she wholeheartedly believes she saw that little green man. So, It will be a story passed down, even after she’s long gone.
People who believe in or have seen Jinn would "get" the truth about fairies.
I am an American, as are my 8 siblings. Our grandparents were all born in the West of Ireland, so we are pretty removed from it. Still, while none of us exactly believes in the fairies, no one would be foolish enough to talk smack about them! 'Cause you never know.
My dad was a County Durham man. He truely belived in various fairies & the Knockers in the pits. Mums side was Irish so leant alot of folk lore.
I recall Eddie caused a bit of rí rá when he raised an objection about a new motorway being built not far from me around 1999, as it would lead to the destruction of a fairy tree. Of course, the council got on the case, and the whitethorn was saved. Gas man.
Nice video too, well done!
that is fabulous, and speaks volumes!! those values...priceless. it wouldn't go down that way here in the u.s....unfortunately.. but on my property, they have their own ''community'' area under and through a patch of trees w/ hollow like root systems and thick underbrush... idk, but it looks like fae folk condos, lolol. my grown kids think I'm kidding, or like to kid me about fairies.... i know tinkerbell was a silly representative, and they have a great way of blending in with their environment.. I've ran across a little tableau, that looked like a work station or setting for some activity; like a set table, with bench seats...made of flat stone, half nut shells and tiny buds in shells, halves of sticks that look like benches set along two sides of stone... found under that canopied tree area i mentioned. just strolling thru my wooded property (riverfront, wooded behind) happened to just look down, and saw that.. and took pics, left it all alone.. paid my respects and left. I accept whether it is or isn't what I think, lol.
I think I saw a tv news report about this, it totally skunnred me. Evil act that.

This is a beautiful video which reminds us of the wonders of this world that us modern folk, entranced with politics, hedonism and technology have all but forgotten.
Thanks for watching, glad you like it. I'm releasing some more videos on the channel soon too.
I learned my lesson! I accidentally got a photo of a tree being while I was playing with the camera on my new phone in my backyard. I was so excited I kept showing my family and friends. Not everyone could see it tho. I had this eerie feeling to stop showing people. Well , I didn’t and the next time I showed someone we had a freak wind tunnel in my yard which took down half my trees. Cost us thousands of dollars to clean it up. Never will I show that photo again!
I would pay 1000€ to have this experience and knowledge and picture. In my opinion U are still the lucky one💚
.....Can i see the photo?
@@evagerritsen1605 no sorry! I promised I would never show anyone again. I did build a Fairy House for my yard tho. It sits under my Ash tree. This tree being was quite large. I've never seen him again tho I've looked for him. 💜
We have a dryad in the large Oak in front of our apartment building. I have become friends with her slowly, we now greet each other, and she told me her name is Mara.
Have faith ,some of us Irish, don’t change, even in my generation. (Baby boomer) the tales are to be respected. Don’t fuss with the little people. You can’t see em, so ya think they don’t exist?can ya see the air you’re breathing?
I lived at the foot of a Faerie Mountain in New Zealand as a child. Everyone among the Maori recognized it as such.
My Dad was part Irish and worked for many years as a missionary to the Australian Aborigines, and he believed about the Patu-Pae-Erehei (Maori Faeries). We went up on the mountain for a walk one day when I was about four "to look for the faeries" and I saw a fresh faery footprint in the mud! We also saw logs in a little circle where the moss had been worn off, as though little bottoms had been sitting on them! There was no fire in the circle, as Maori faeries don't have fire, they are frightened of it and eat all their food raw.
There are stories of famous historical figures going up to the mountain and meeting with the faery folk, and tales of them kidnapping women and men for their spouses. Sometimes they would allow the woman to return (or she would escape), and if she was pregnant, she would bear a child with pale skin, blonde or red hair and blue or green eyes. This happened many times, prior to the arrival of the White Man, and when the White Man first arrived in that area, they noticed these red headed and blonde headed, green and blue eyed people.
Many of these people live in that area to this day, and many have never married into the White Man. When they are DNA tested, they show no European ancestry, but a shared ancestry with the Chachapoya Cloud People of the South American Andes. The Chachapoya were reputed to be a Magickal Race as well descended from Spirits or gods, so you never know...
Although ignored by the authorities and told they don`t exist, their descendants say they are originally from what is now Iran ; then on to India ; and that they stopped for a time in Peru ( which would explain the Chachapoya connection) before continuing on to New Zealand. I believe this was well over 3,000 years ago. I don´t understand why anthropologists and historians aren´t falling over themselves to study these amazing people.
Which mountain?
So, anything not human is a demon? I know sasquatches are real, but Jesus never existed. Made up by a Roman emperor. Demons my ass. You're a demon.
@@shawnmccormick7778 i understand, but don't fall for their rhetoric.
@@shawnmccormick7778 so you have to put down all believers of Jesus just because one said it was demons? C’mon people. I believe in Jesus, as do many of these Irish speaking also of fairies. We know a lot as humans but we probably don’t even know the half of it! You don’t have to make things so black and white...that goes for both of you! (J Joseph AND Shawn McCormick)
I believe id love to see....my daughter when she was little said she saw a little man who went down stairs to basement. I was told he was a dwarf who takes care of things under ground like plumbing and such to leave pretty stones

My second great grandfather came to the USA as a wee lad and was still alive albeit very very old , near 102 when I can remember him. I loved the way he talked and he always did tell me that faerie folk werent silly little tinkerbells. He told me they could be very mischievious especially if you killed a cricket. To this day way over the pond in the USA this woman
Shanna Van Ausdall I could not have said it better 💔
Why don't you just come home?
Shanna Van Ausdall Yes I too miss my folk whom used to Believe and taught me so very much about being Irish, and yet American. Health to you
Shanna Van Ausdell If you love Ireland so much, go and live there.
I dislike cricket noise but I love them they cute. Must be fairly alarm bells.
I hiked through Ireland when I was young and I saw some odd things when moving through the empty areas, away from town. I believe these people completely.
Some people sense and see these things others can't, as the man said. These lovely little things, these earth energies or whatever you care to call them leave a lovely scent wherever they have been.
I love their accents. Beautiful for telling stories.💚
Thank you! 🌱🌳👏💚
My Nana used to tell me stories, this brings back such wonderful and emotional memories for me 💖
They weren't just story's they were real but enjoy the memories
Can't wait to visit my ancestral land of Scotland /Ireland some day. And maybe I'll even be lucky enough to see a fairy!
I grew up on stories from Eddie Lenihan at talks and he used to come to our house with them.
We spent time with my grandparents generation and they all shared these stories and traditions.
I have been writing for the last few years to preserve them for my children and their generation. It is almost entirely wiped from the thoughts of people in ireland today.
Hopefully Balor O'brien will be able to revive some interest in it.
I’m from NZ and my Brother in law as a young guy was walking his girlfriend home across a piece of waste land in the dark, saw a small orange light in a bush and he went to kick it. His girlfriend begged him to leave it alone, but he kicked it. When he came back through, it was gone but he didn’t feel as if he was alone anymore. I went to bed upstairs in the room he shared with his younger Brother. He started screaming and woke the whole house up. His Mother rushed in and he was as white as a sheet! He was pointing at the window and was screaming that the orange light had climbed up the window which was shut, gotten taller and taller and then some black stuff had started pouring down the inside of the window pane. They were tough, hardened NZ farmers, not afraid of anything! My ex was his younger Brother and he said he’d never heard anything like it!
Oooh spooky
I forgot to mention that the orange.light grew to the size of a man which made John and his girlfriend run hell for leather!
That is crazy
Such a pleasure to hear these lovely Irish voices, taking their time, speaking of a day and age where life was lived at a slower pace. We had time to notice the fairies in the old days.
My great grandfather, James Edward Hanley, was born in County Clare in 1850. My dad talked about his grandfather telling stories about the wee folk. Thank you for this video.

I grew up with a grandmom from the North of Portugal. In the province of Tras-os-Montes people kept the old ways. That is a celtic place from the time the Celtas mixed with the Iberos. The dialect and language is very influenced by Celtic culture and lore. Things like never throw warm water on the garden not to hurt the Little People, planting an herb garden with enough herbs and medicinal herbs to share with them. Don’t destroy 🍄 you find on the field for the fairies eat them, so many small things so different from the other Portuguese provinces. The music with bagpipes, the the food like by example, colkannon, just eaten there. The dialect is full of celtic words and the traditions are the same, and the red hair is prevalent among us. The other side of the frontier, in Galicia, is closer to us than the others (portuguese). Yes, fairies exist. They are a fact! Is modern people that lost the contact with them and the wisdom of their protection. I wish I had them here in my new land of America... then I would not be so alone...
I've seen them in Colorado. Don't despair---they are everywhere! There is a place in Virginia called Perelandra, where fairies instruct the leader how to plant her garden. Look it up. Go visit.

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. 🍀🌟🧝🏻♂️✨🧙🏻♂️🧭🌖🧚🏻♂️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻🫅🏻🕯️💖
God bless you all from Scotland, I believe. ...
I love this, Ireland is a magical place. I believe in fairies. 💖
I’m from the US and was traveling in Ireland just as sunset disappears and you are in the gloaming, the time when day gives in to night -if you’re in the countryside you can feel them.
You should listen to the Irish singer Lisa O'Neill. You can find her song 'Old Note' on TH-cam.
I am 50 yrs old, no mental health issues other than the state of the country drives me batty (FJB). I live in the Pacific Northwest, and one night while outside looking for UFOs with my nightvision, I saw these things flying high above the trees and they looked iridescent fluorescent pinkish...I recorded them for a long time because I knew they had to be fairies. This was two years ago, and for this entire time I have been completely obsessed. I have over a terabyte of video and have recorded 10 or 12 types. They literally come in my room almost daily and gather all the little pieces of my dog's little bones and they arrange them in little smiley faces, or little fairie shaped stick people. I leave them sweets, and I know they play with my 3lb dog a lot. One came in my living room and was there for just a couple seconds before she disappeared but I got a couple pics, as I already had my camera on taking pics of my dog. They stole a ring of mine and getting it back was an ordeal that took months. I am fascinated by them, and I work daily on the relationship between us because I just cant not. Its important to me. I love those little rascals.
I believe you I have video of them on my channel ❤🧚
It almost sounds like you are clinically insane.
Do you want to introduce us to your friends. It would be lovely to see the footage.
I think the Fae gifted me a bracelet with a silver circle ⭕️ and the circle appeared in something else. I had a light display too above my hedge ❤
The magnetic atmosphere or veil around the earth is thinner than it’s been in 12000 years of course you’re seeing them…
That was positively wonderful! 👍❤️
All of these stories of fairies and other creatures of folklore need to be collected and preserved. All to often in history, beliefs , myths and legends have been lost. The big ones often remain, but the little local ones tend to get lost and this is a crying same. Whether they're true or not they demonstrate the imagination of people and the foundation of their cultures. Sadly, alot of the people who know the stories are nearing the end of their days, so time is of the essence. So, if you know someone who knows these stories, sit with them, write the stories down and put them somewhere on the web .
I was brought up listening about faery folk stories off my dad . He would say they lived in our tree down our back . I have pictures I had drawn when I was 5 and I'm 63 now and I still draw them . My kids are in 30 s and they hear me talk about them and they are all born in Australia . I've lived here for 51 yrs and I have a tree in me yard that I put dangling objects on for the wee little faeries . My friends kids love it . Australian kids don't hear the stories off mam and dad but off me a different story . They live in my faery houses in my garden . It's nice to tell a story isn't it ?
"It's we who have changed" That hit me hard because it is true. We no longer see nature as an equal or a friend, but something to profit off of or treat poorly.
The Fae are still here and will always be here, waiting for us to either change our ways or destroy ourselves in our own foolishness. I believe in Fae and respect them as I would an old friend. Believe in them, even if you cannot see them.
I haven't changed, no matter what people think of me......... the tiniest insect that finds it's way into the house goes back outside, alive and well and handled
gently :-) The bird bath has clean water, the bird feeder is full, the spider's webs stay where they are, etc. Honor ALL life :-) I sit on the porch and send out waves of love to the trees, the flowers, the grass, etc. and I thank them for making this planet beautiful! I hope one day the fairies feel safe enough to allow humans to see them, I know we'd learn a lot from them.
Indeed. There is no difference from believing in Fairies than believing in Angels! If we can’t believe in one supernatural existence, how can we find comfort in any other.
actually its the spliced in abominations that dissected us, drugs us, kidnapped us, bred in , dumbed down, harassed, and dissected and PRETENDED freewill
and harassed and mocked those of life into the harassment over shadowing being until those things of us we ourselves would destroy
in truth if I were the tree of life I'd send the world to hell even the real fruit of the tree of life and be the ONLY one allowed to be dead and uncreated
people seem to think that any creature in this world should be exempt, they know nothing of spirit them, that a single fruit of the tree of life got mocked or parasited off means it happens to ALL
and I'm not talking about evil jesus/ satan whoa re one and usurped dominion of self and pitted spirit against itself by its/ his/. abominable self existing
alas I cant explain, but it will be all cast back, along side his father thoth who spliced them into existence
its done and damage to spirit doesn't get undone
and he did speak truth in one thing though in his not real double tongue but destructive to live hypocritical double tongue way
THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF SPIIRT
they don't seem to get those of life who have been destroyed are within their rights to curse the rest of the world for it, and do
the bs concept of forgiveness if has to be told form an outside source is NOT within the realm of life therefore a rape and dissection further of spirit and turns wholesome animals into sheep
and that is the WORST agony of ALL
but no amount of agony is sufficient, for once you cut deep enough of the spirit of life, there is no level of agony and retribution that can be just, they will all just wallow in that which they have caused
I noticed the freemasonic, catholic, black and white tiles behind her over btw
I used to have my own inner eye, now all I see is that crap like going down a a whole and when I was dissected into a religious fanatical stage found it evil
alas the damage they had to do, well this women and her ancestors descendants and brothers and sisters will FEEL it forever, as its done
creator, vs splicing ion abomination
24000 years is a day
the hour of destruction of 2000 years when evil jesus can what his openly taking his seat and pretending another whilst telling you who he was
everything is done
its already been done
this is the year of the ox, I hope they kill the heifer (life) soon
this world was a never ending dissection of agonizing hell
@@laural3267 I highly recommend you try to find a therapist, I'm not joking, you seem like you need someone to talk to. Hope you find one, peace.
@@barbaracurtis7272 I admit, I like the way you think! But also, remember the God who made that beauty for you to enjoy. Peace to you too!
This is a gem ❤
I have not yet seen a fairy but I think I was close to it.
I was working in the garden last summer and saw something like sun reflecting on water in between ivy leaves on the edge of the garden. It was a dull, overcast day so it definitely wasn't the sun plus this part of the garden is shady from around noon - it was much later than that. I was watching the light for a while out of the corner of my eye and then said hello. The light disappeared as soon as I said it and didn't come back. I do hear music when I'm there as well, like a fiddle. It's very faint so can't say which direction it's coming from. The property is in the middle of nowhere so it's definitely not coming from the neighbours.
I also heard the banshee in the fields behind my house few years back. Still gives me goosebumps when I think of it. My partner at the time said it was probably a fox but I don't think so. I heard many foxes throughout my life and while the sound is eerie it's nothing comparing to what I've heard that night.
My best friend saw a fairy in his garden on few occasions, tiny little thing darting around the place like a hummingbird. Always disappears when it sees him. I caught a glimpse of something shiny once, when I was visiting him but that's it.
Are the Irish really willing to give up their folk traditions and beliefs to fit in with this ugly modern world? I sincerely hope not.
Nope only a few years ago in Ireland a whole motorway was diverted because they were going to have to dig up a fairy Fort. We got ridiculed in the news from the USA and UK but we don't care. In Ireland we know and respect the little people
@@eire3261 That's beautiful. Love and regards to you and the little people.
@@inkyheaven Thanks and God bless you and your family 💚🇮🇪🍀🙏♥️
@@eire3261 too much has been taken, when does it end. Do we really need all of it! There’s nothing wrong with the old ways, people have become ignorant and lazy. I’m so pleased you all won this fight.
@@eire3261 Don't mess with it. Damn right, there's too many stories of people dying as a result of moving fairy rings from land.
This is the most comfy documentary ever.
Eddie Lenihan's a very wise man, his knowledge of these things is legend itself.
I was told they exist and shown where they live - by people who were not silly. It's a fascinating subject due respect. Thanks for making this video with interviews.
You're welcome, glad you like them. I'm going to be uploading more videos very soon so be sure to subscribe. :)
A most sincere and delightful video. Many thanks, for creating it,to be sure.
I know several people, from all time of backgrounds who have seen fairies (and not like "oh I think I saw something", but clear as day seeing it in front of them ) and one person who saw gnomes (from the description, at least, i would say that's what it was). All of them from France. Very sane minded and grounded kind of people. Some of them were really surprised/shocked. People will become closer to nature again someday, and they will learn to feel, to hear and to see again .
Interesting! Thanks
There are many things that are inexplicable in the world, and that is why the world is still magical. I have a science degree. Thank you for the video and the comment section is fascinating 💖 from Australia 🦘xx
Fable of the cry wolf is so important. If someone whom you know, to be an honest person, tells you something extraordinary. Why would you not extend them the benefit of the doubt. This is why integrity matters.
One day, you will need someone to believe in you.
My grand would always have us bid good morning to the fairys as we crossed the bridge across the beck.
That said. She liked a whiskey as much as any Irish. 😂
So happy to have run across this charming video! I could listen all day to these forgotten stories. Thank you 😊
We still talk about our fairy folk. Its tradition so we never loose touch with the earth. Would love to hear your stories tho
When I lived in Scotland, there were hawthorn tree behind the house where some woods began. They were small trees that blossomed heavily each year. They made a full circle. I left some things but never thought of butter. I don’t live there anymore but there is a round clearing in my new woods and nothing grows in it. I’m going to get some butter….
I'm so glad I found this channel. Keep up the hard work, keeping our culture alive and well.
This brought me to tears. So tragic that modern society has lost grasp of the natural order & truth of the land.
I have always believed in faries my family originally came from Ireland and the the tales that were told to us when we were small just stay with me. 😊😊😊😊🐱🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Thanks for sharing Doe, feel free to subscribe to the channel I am releasing new videos each week :)
I believe in Fairies..got to respect them💚and their home.
My experience is that through yoga and detoxification, the world of the fairies has become increasingly apparent. Humans are meant to be walking shamen, hand in hand with the fairies, the planet and fully conscious of their multidimensional nature. Anything less and we can define ourselves as half wits.
how do you detox
We must give up the self-serving idea of human exceptionalism. We are all brothers and sisters in our Earth Mother's creation within Her living biome of life.. And we have to stop super-imposing our exclusively human ideologies over the surface of our Mother Earth, 'communism'. 'capitalism'.socialism. etc., etc.. These abstractions distance us from the truth of where we REALLY are - on our Blessed Mother Earth, immersed within the Divine Love energy being of our Great Cosmic Mother always and everywhere. When I was around 5, I would often see a fairie on a little grassy knoll on my way to school and we would talk through mental telepathy. Being a small child, I thought there was nothing strange about it at all. I still remember him. I'm 72 now. We are all here together, Always. Planetize - don't globalize.
@@sunnyboy4553 your comment just helped me so much. I'm 17, my whole life I've been fascinated with fairies but told they're just a made up creature like the rest, but something about the fairies felt different, like its truth wouldn't conform to being a fairytale creature. I really hope to detox and get away from where I'm living, the social constructs and beliefs are ruining me mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
@@narfinarf5920 keep believing, God's ways are not our ways, His ways are higher than our ways, His thoughts higher than our thoughts... You keep your eyes on the wonderment of Love, and you will be amazed at the things you can see. Hug,

@Padjoe O ceal yeah satan loves it when you improve your strength, balance and flexibility. It's satan's work when you get back pain relief, ease arthritis symptoms, benefit your heart health and get more energy and brighter moods. God doesn't want you to to have these scientifically validated benefits www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/9-benefits-of-yoga because SCieNcE iS SAtan and YOga Is PAgaN or somesuch retarded reasoning.
Thank you. Thank you so much. This is better than any book I’ve read. My research into people missing from national parks has brought me to fairy lore ❤️
I am so happy to find someone else wondering enough to look into it. I firmly believe that the majority of these natl park issues are from something not human. I investigate those type things.
@@HOLLYHOUSE11 I don’t know about them being “non human”, however my mind is open. If you’re interested, look into the Nazis building UFOs towards the end of the war & escaping to Antarctica. Robert Sepehr has great videos on here about subterranean civilizations as well. It’s my belief this is all connected.
