OLD IRISH TALES

IF you have ever been to ireland you probably have heard the stories of the BANSHEE,i have never seen her myself but have heard all the stories,as the story goes if you are of a certain family name and a loved one dies she will cry,or you will hear 3 knocks at your door,some say she is a beautiful young woman with long golden hair which she combs using a red comb,others believe she is an old haggard woman with long fingernails and long scraggy hair,and her cry is supposed to be a high screech,well who knows maybe it is true maybe not,until i see for myself i will not know:)

The most famous of the irish tales,again i have not seen one,if you see one he must grant you 3 wishes,but you cannot wish for money or love,and when he tells you that you can have a fourth wish you must not wish it,as this would wipe clean your other 3 wishes;Pif you keep a symbol of a leprauchan in your purse or bag it is said to bring you the luck of the irish.

GUINNESS the most famous of irish beers,guess alot of this was drank before the banshee and leprauchan stories started:)))))and whiskey paddy whiskey.
