Leprechauns

Firstly why would you why would you want to catch a poor old Leprechaun and if you did you might live to regret it they are not all nice actually some are quite troublesume. Well if you really want to risk the health of your self and indeed your family and friends here is what you have to do. Firstly find yourself a fairy fort there are plenty of them all over Ireland look in farmers field as you drive along and if you spot a small ring that has not been ploughed or planted with crops and looks a little swampy in an otherwise fertile field you can be pretty sure you have found one. Only problem now is if you disturb it you're in for some serious trouble as many a farmer has found out the hard way some have even died Anyway that's your choice, so go there and wait around best thing is to give him a riddle that will keep him happy for a while but be carefull he will surly make a bet with you and these little fellows love the craic agus ceoil (fun & Music ) and would have great fun making a fool out of you Have fun Hunting

The original Irish name for these figures of folklore is "lobaircin," meaning "small-bodied fellow." Belief in leprechauns probably stems from Celtic belief in fairies, tiny men and women who could use their magical powers to serve good or evil. In Celtic folktales, leprechauns were cranky souls, responsible for mending the shoes of the other fairies. Though only minor figures in Celtic folklore, leprechauns were known for their trickery, which they often used to protect their much-fabled treasure.

The pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, maybe also the security concerns of Guiness Stout and other Irish brews.

Prankster and practical joker, Mr. Mzptylyk in superman was one in all but name.

A leprechaun is a small Irish creature that doesn't exist.

Legend has it Leprechauns hide their pot of gold at the end of rainbows.

looks like a small, old man about 2-feet tall.

becase they make potatoes from gold and they love gold

Leprechauns are from Ireland. During the Potato Famine, leprechauns had nothing to eat, because they loved potato pie. They then separated, looking at different countries where they could find potatoes that made special pie. Whenever you hear a bird sing, the leprechauns are talking to each other through their special friends, the birds. They are telling each other that they have found potatoes that can make potato pie. They still haven't found potatoes as good as Ireland potatoes. That is why they do not want to give away their gold, because they get it from their potato pie. Hope this helps!

Only when they want to. :)

pot of gold

wiggle land commonly know as leopard land.....That is where the word leopard comes from because leprechaun were taught to have spots......

They only leave gifts to worthy people. It would most likely be a pair of shoes.

In the 20th century the leprechaun was depicted in red, not green. So the before that it was probably green. It's green now too. I think we're sorta switching every century or so.

Leprechauns are extremely difficult to track - but some success maybe encountered by closely observing the dew on the grass. Leprechauns can travel without disturbing the dew but it will take on a sullen shimmer in the moon-light as a result of ones passage. A really careful tracker can follow it - until the sun comes up and burns it all away of course.

You will have far more success in attracting Leprechauns to merry or even slightly robust events. Forest dances, games of pillogaging (bowling), and tussels have been known to attract the little folk.

Leprechauns are cobblers by trade, and cannot bear the sight of disorderly shoes. If everyone's shoes are found lined up, nice and neat in the closets or entryway, there may be leprechauns in your house.

You don't. They don't exist. They're just myths.

Probably not.

It was created as a camp fire story to scare children

The ability to make something disappear, etc.

The Leprechaun's cane is called a shillelagh (pronounced sha-lay-lee).
