I remember visiting a few dairy forts and trees with my grandad and how he was always telling us to be careful around them. I don’t think he really believed in them but he knew it would make a fantastic childhood for us so I guess that’s why he never told us about how the fairies were evil, he just told us not to mess with them because they are peaceful and don’t want to be disturbed

The various tales of Counts and princes with variations on the name Drac are in reality an obfuscation, a distraction by a covetous English literary establishment in an era when the subjugation of the Irish was at its zenith and an only recently unbanned Irish language was spoken only in remoter regions of the island.

God i miss Ireland. I spent a few months working there several years back. My team had English, Italians, Dutch, Germans, French, and Turks on it--I was the lone American--and the one thing we all agreed on was that the Irish were the strangest, funniest, liveliest people we'd every met. And oddly enough, I was able to understand their accents much better than my European counterparts. Every time we sat down in a restaurant or hopped in a taxi, the local worker would say something and everyone would look at me. As a monolingual American, I never expected to be translating for a Dutch guy who was fluent in five languages. But that's Ireland for you--its got its own thing going on in every way.

@@jamesoneill2933 Dracul was a title gained by entering the Order of the Dragon, which Vlad inherited from his father. Vlad himself signed his name as Vlad Drakulya, which is observable because being a noble of quite some renown by the time of his death, we have his own docunents. Vlad Tepes was however the name given to him by the Romanian public, and was even used in a legal grant once. It means Vlad the Impaler, as, well, you know. Dracula has nothing to do with irish language. Perhaps when Bram Stoker wrote Dracula, he was aware of the similarity to those old words, but he also would have known of Draculea, Dragyula, Drakula, and of course, Dracula, as the myriad of variations of the name by which Vlad was known in history.

In the Irish language, faeries are known as "na daoine maithe," which translates to english as "the good people." Now, you might think that odd, as they were feared tremendously, so much so that people were afraid to even say anything bad about them. So they were described as the good people out of fear. 😱

[@LDuke-pc7kq]

Fairies are no joke, my ex was Welsh Irish and grew up believeing but I would not believe in anything I could not see or verify. That radically changed one day while we were on our property that had a large storage garage pulling out items, that had a twisted dead small black bush in front of it, it was winter so everything appeared dead that wasn't evergreen aswell. I was pregnant so he was doing most of the work on that day so I was standing out front when I looked over at the bush and it still was black and dead but it had sprouted green foliage and there was a baby smiling with its arms outstretched with roses and foliage around its body, it was bright and vivid and I couldn't believe what I was seeing I started walking over to it because of the baby and said to my partner "it's a baby!" He immediately ran towards me grabbed me and pulled me away screaming "it's a fairy don't touch it!" And ran me up towards the hill. I turned back two times though he told me not to one time I did see it the next time it disappeared back into the Black Bush because I just couldn't believe what I just seen. He was pale and shaking saying our baby would have died if I had touched the tree. I know this story sounds extremely strange and I don't tell it very often for that reason but it is the truth, I don't think I would have even believed it unless he had also seen it too at the same time but I know I'll never doubt fairies anymore and I believe people should be warned about them and true encounters should be shared in case it happens to someone else. The second part would be if you see one do not go back to where it was and definitely don't damage whatever spot it's taken over, that can have very serious consequences for the person who destroys it. Take care everyone

There are kind of two Irelands. Not sure if all Irish people know this. But just to the west, across a bit of water, lies the island of Newfoundland, settled by mainly Irish and English people, but with a culture that is most definitely Irish. Now, if you ever go to this island and need to go in the woods, you just wear your shirt backwards and or inside out and the fairies will not get you. Also, if you put that shirt on backwards or inside out by mistake and fix it.....the fairies will most definitely get you. When we went into the woods as kids our mother told us not to get fairie-led. We also still speaks wit a strong Irish accent here. xoxo to my cousins in Ireland from this Irish Canadian of the Whalen's and Lahey's.

I find the amount of Irish influence in the culture in Southern United States is way more prominent that a lot of us even realize until watching videos like this… (especially in Appalachia) From the superstition, Fairy Lore, to the “adding syllables to the end of words” 😂😂 There’s also good bit about of Native and German influence down here as well. So the superstition is pretty prominent. It’s pretty cool to see a lot of that culture still standing pretty strong especially in the rural areas.

[@nunyabiznez6381]

My great grandfather came from Galway 120 years ago and settled near Boston. We're not sure if he met his wife here or back there but she grew up less than five miles from where he grew up and both of them were devout believers in fairy folk. My great grandfather started out his adult life as a coachman, was also a farm hand and eventually a florist. He always devoted a small portion of every garden he made to the fairy folk. I don't know if there was any real magic or if there were real fairies but his gardens were always magical. He brought bags of seeds with him when he came here and I now grow plants that are descendants of the plants he once cultivated in Galway. I also have a small stone figure he had claimed had been sculpted by a fairy sculptor for one of his distant ancestors and it always was in his "fairy garden." Today it resides in my garden. Honestly I don't know if you can really say it resembles a fairy or not. One would have to see a real fairy and compare them to know for sure. But I'd like to think that if there were real fairies that they would feel welcome in my own garden. In any case all the wonderful creatures that come to visit seem to like it. I live in Florida now and there is no shortage of hummingbirds that visit me almost daily as well as dozens of feral parrots and all manner of other birds big and small and they have wings and so do the dozens of species of butterflies that pollenate my garden. And of course all the things that craw and hop and slither and perhaps somewhere among them not quite in sight there is what our ancestors once called fairies. Are there really fairies? Wouldn't it be nice if there were?

The company I was working for was building a new site in Tipperary and there was a faerie fort on the land. The builders refused to disturb it and the plans had to be changed. The old superstitions survive to these days.

It's crazy how folklore spreads, growing up in the U.S I was told by my parents that little circles in the grass of moss or different colored grass in the shape of a circle is where fairies live and I would always be so curious, and just now watching this video they say that in Irish folklore circle embankments were fairy forts, it's either an odd coincidence or somehow the folklore went down the line of ancestors from across the world.

[@burn8325]

It wasn’t that long ago mate.. Irish is the second biggest heritage in the US, USA is only a few hundred years old. To put into perspective, my grandfather was born in 1921, his grandfather was born in like 1850. Of course Irish culture spread, you celebrate Irish holidays like Halloween and paddy’s day! Faerie rings are just fungi growing around a hidden tree stump or something, but yes in folklore, faeries are viscous creatures that prey on children. In ancient Ireland, they would hear giggling and children screaming coming from the dark woods at night. This is because foxes make sounds that sound exactly like a gremlin giggling, and children screaming. So the ancient people thought these giggling creatures were taking children into the woods. Then if a child was born with autism or a mental illness, they thought the faeries drove them mad. That stuff was passed on to US and Australia when the Irish populated them. Hence why you have Irish culture in your culture, like Australian football is basically just Irish football (Gaelic football/GAA) and the fact you celebrate Halloween and paddy’s day.

[@hennesdahmerized7351]

Probably because there are more irish living in the US than in Ireland itself. This is why Halloween is celebreted is well due to the Irish over there.
