As a Cape Bretoner living in Newfoundland, I love watching these videos.I hope to visit Ireland one day.

So proud to say that my family immigrated from Wexford. Just visited - lovely place and people 🇮🇪

Someone has to get a Newfie or Caper with a super thick accent see if anyone can understand em

Beautiful Irish people

Wow.. Wexford accent sounds like old people back home on the rock

There's something so sad about our far flung Irish diaspora, we'd love if they could all come home to Ireland😢

I love this, coz it’s clearly pronounced

Good for you Michael Fortune for recording all these memories!

Beautiful. Be very proud of yourself fair lady.

Half my ancestors were Irish. This makes me wish I were still.

One of Ireland's finest voices!

Thank you so much for this. We are in the process of moving to Monalee. My children will be shown this and taught the history of the area that we will be living.

Thank you for this, I’m looking into fairies and folklore in Newfoundland, which is really hard to come by. Happy to hear these stories.

A by gone era

Would anyone here be able to help me understand a dream I had? I don't know if what I dreamt was of real faeries, but I don't know how else to describe them. The dream was so specific and oddly unlike any expectation I had in my mind of what faeries are like, but in my heart, I feel that I saw faeries. Yet I struggle to find any description online of what I saw and feel was a true look into the spiritual dimension. I am hoping someone here can help me better understand these beings I encountered? This is the dream: I was living in the woods and taking care of two stray feral kittens by feeding them everyday. These beings soon took notice of me and showed themselves to me as they moved in procession through the woods, somehow my taking care of the kittens caught their attention. They were very thin and waiflike, shaped in faint glowing white light, almost too thin to be humanoid and similar to the shape of a stick, maybe a foot tall. I saw no discernable features. Just light. They wanted me to be aware of them is what I felt. They then showed me in my mind's eye these beautiful chrysalis topped stalks or stick-like structures. The approximate width of a twig from a tree. And there the dream ended. Who have I encountered? Did I have my first faerie meeting? Thank you for reading. I hope someone can help me learn who these beings are!

Thanks for taking time to produce this recording, it's good to hear knowledge of the past from these hard working people. As a hobby farmer,like to hear of their decades of experience in growing and raising their own food.

The cocks step.january 6th. The old people here in Ireland would say.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

To all Americans: nobody cares that your ancestors were Irish. (The rest of the world)

Why is this black guy in my country?

The Irish accents significantly influence a lot of the Newfoundland accents

Never throw out water on all souls night or you dampen the souls on the way to heaven
