Reply to comment by Dear-Original-675 in It's been a year since my kids built the Leprechaun trap, I think you should know what happened. by PangolinPix

Thanks for your concern. We are ok. I never knew about Leprechauns and how they aren't just the mischievous little beings, but can be pure evil.

Growing up Irish we're taught to respect the fae and faery folk. Can have dire consequences if you dont. We are modern people here but still have a lot of superstitions

Here in the states we don't have that same folklore and history of myths...I now know to respect the stories of yore.

Leprechauns are like genies and djinn, theyll offer something nice like wishes and gold but theres always a dangerous catch

This one threatened my family, so you're right. We also seemed to provoke it with our promise of candy instead of what it really wanted.
