I was just thinking 30 minutes ago when a new video from you might come out, and here you are. Cool. I'm gonna lean back and enjoy the ride as always.

I'm 25% Irish, and my grandfather told me about a story involving the banshee. This was back in 2007, and he told me that back in the 16th century, his family was 1 of 4 noble families in Ireland that are able to seal the banshee in their bodies. But only the head of the family would be taught this secret. He also said that if you are able to seal the banshee within your body and if you die, you can't be cremated. If you are cremated, the seal is undone, and the banshee will take its revenge on your entire family. I don't know if I was told the truth or not because I can't find anything to validate what my grandfather told me, but out of the 3 last known males in my family, my grandfather only told me about this legend. He died on December 13th, 2007, almost 10 months after he told me about this legend. He told me about it on March 15th 2007.

The Werewolves of Ossory must be where they got the idea for the movie Wolfwalkers.

I couldn't stop staring at this video about fantastical beasts from Celtic mythology and legends. The way it breathes life into these fantastical beasts from the vast fabric of Celtic mythology is absolutely enthralling. The thoroughness of the study and meticulous attention to detail make it an educational and entertaining read. Bravo to the makers for illuminating these intriguing Celtic cultural elements. I'm excited to read more of your posts!

The Ankou is actually the Grim Reaper. 😮

As a descendant of the Irish family Fitzpatrick and the native American family of tea.hee I come from a diverse history of legends

Keep up the good work

I enjoy learning mythical creatures through this channel and few others. Many I didn't know about up until I started watching videos of them. For a project I'm doing. Not sure where to find Deer Woman though. Have no clue what that is but can't wait to find out!

Where did you find all your research? The three-headed dragon, the washwoman, and some of the others I would like to learn more about.

How many cursed horses do y'all have?

[dianewood]

The headless demon 😈 on the horse 🐴 was described as headless pictures show with head 🥴

[charlenebaganzmoore]

The Banshee doesn't kill but just to notify families of death. Why does she get a bad rap? I feel for the fay as they are always demonized, rather than heeded.

16:40 Fachan sounds like an allegory for 4chan'ers/Redditors

[dianewood]

The one eyed 👁️ creature was shown both with one eye & 2 👀 🫤

[tylersands]

It's not Nuckla'vee', it's Nuckla'vay'

[adamslosslessmusiccollection]

Brownies are actually pronounced as “broo-nies.”

[terrencesaunders]

Sidhe is pronounced "shee" not "sid".

[bevdavis]

ban means woman...sidhe means fairie. All sidhe females are bansidhe

[micheledeetlefs]

Okay, let's get something straight. George Lucas mispronounces "sith". It should be properly pronounced "she", as in the banshee. So it should be pronounced not "cat sith" (as if it were a feline enemy of the Jedi), but "catshee".

Very disappointed in the heavy use of AI imagery. Use real art and or artists. I dont want to see computer generated garbage. Shame on you.
