    Irish water fairies are not like Tinkerbell; they are monsters. This episode I share some of my favorites:

    Muirdris, the “Sea Bramble” or “Sea Briar” - A huge, mysterious, undefined horror that inflates and deflates, expands and contracts like a bellows. It has features of a thorn-bush, with branches that stings, and its appearance alone is deadly.
    Alp-Luachra -
    In Celtic mythology, a Joint-eateror Just-halver the Alp-luachra is a type of fairy who sits invisibly and consumes half of their victim's food.
    Chailleach-
    The word "Cailleach" literally means "old woman, hag" and comes from the Old Irish word caillech, which means "veiled one".
    The serpent of Loch Chraili -
    Similarto the Loch Ness monster
    The white trout, the legend of Cong -
    A woman turned fish pining for her dead fiance
    An Dobharchú - Translated means ‘water hound’, or ‘hound of deep’. Thought to be a cross between a giant otter and a hound, Dobhar Chu is about seven-foot-long, or about the size of a crocodile. In fact, it is also known as the Irish crocodile.
