I COMPLETELY believe that last one. The disabled children of the rich were sometimes looked after and hidden on another property the family owned. But they were not publicly shown to the rest of the world as their children.

the rich ones are the spliced in evil bastards of bastet, they love to steal things, and especially things they have no rights to that cause immense spiritual agony if taken!

No, a Changeling. Throughout Europe it was believed that a deformed or imbecile child born to fairies or elves would be substituted for a healthy human child. The human child might be returned if the Changeling was tortured, usually involving fire....

@@dnr2089 That is horrible, lets hope no human child was ever tortured in the crazy belief it was a Changeling! That's just as bad as the witch trails were innocent women were killed.

It is a field recording. As for your 'broken English' comment - this really shows how much respect you have for this content and the people in it. If you have nothing better to say - keep it to yourself.

It’s not broken English. The Irish speak better English than you do, it’s called an accent.
