you should get an award just for getting the names straight

My family migrated from Donegal to Dundee in the 19th century because of the textile trade. My mother grew up an Irish-Scottish Catholic in a poor working-class scheme. My father is of a British Loyalist background from the east-end dockyards of Parkhead in Glasgow. I love both sides of my heritage, knowing I can trace my ancestors back to primordial times in both Britain and Ireland. I feel spiritually tied to this land. I will never leave.

I am of Irish ancestry and this is great to know what the folk beliefs of my ancestors are

I love how all of your videos feel like a mini movie!

I get big sad when thinking about how Ireland and UK deforested their land. I know it has nothing to do with this vid, but all these folklore tales just remind me of the woods that were.

I love the Irish content, but especially the Gaelic names, since I'm learning this beautiful (but difficult!) language. Have you considered reading true spooky stories by Irish people? I would love to listen to those - in a fitting accent that is!

This was enjoyable, so much so I just subscribed, my grandfather once threw his paraffin bicycle lamp at a banshee who was sitting on the bin at the back of his house as he returned from work, having said that I should also mention that his job was as a whiskey taster who had found a way to drink for free at the end of his shift, so take it with a large pinch of salt 😂

Love Ireland, there is some interesting folklore and myth other there.

I know the story of how the leprechauns tricked the gold-seeker - from a 1947 Famous Studio cartoon, "The Wee Men", which I saw and loved when I was a little kid.

I'm a Irish trout fisherman but I see tiny people with the wings smaller than a dragon fly. Seen them twice. They were playing in a dribble of water would of been a waterfall to them half left and came back with younger smaller ones all giggling under there waterfall then my rod bent and when I looked back they were gone except 1. Watched me until I moved spots

Delightful video. I haven't seen a lot of folks cover Fetches and Merrows before in a video. It was nice to see them mentioned. My favorite tale for merrows is of Li Ban and her baptism by Comgall.

Very imaginative people🫶🍀🧜‍♀️🧚‍♀️

Thank you so much for another amazing and thought-provoking overview of a country's mythology, Reiver! Your dives into the folklore have been bringing me joy for years now:) I remember a while ago you made a wonderful video on fairies. I wonder if you could expand on it, perhaps featuring more stories, including the tales about Leanan Sidhe? And I can't wait for the 25 creatures of Welsh folklore :)

Thanks ❤

Wonderful stories, thank you! Just subscribed🍀🕊🍀

Amazing video as always 🎉

Another winner,

YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!

the fin mccool story is very similar to Sigmund slaying Fafnir and roasting his heart- the story must be influenced by norse population (or the stories come from the same origin)

Dearg Dúr isn't a real piece of Irish Folklore. It is entirely a literary invention that isn't even 100 years old. I'm almost certain that the Fear gorta is nothing more than a mistranslated version of Féar gorta (Hungry grass), I've never found substantial material to back it up as a creature in its own right. The leannán Síde is a corruption of a trope of otherworldly women making human men pine for them. The muse and vampiric aspect was something dreamt up by Yeats, who was a really shite folklorist, and not worth using as a source.
