i beilive only nowadays the fairys have gone high tech, but this place suites them to a tee as its full of thick trunks and overgrown bushes

I seen one in Garrison near (Lough Melvin), wasnt a fecking fairy near it!! Was very disappointed. The people who live in Belcoo and Garrison, really and i mean really believe there is fairies in that tree Its a bit odd how they talk about it,some even saying they have saw them, but then i suppose it there heritage after all. But it did look like a f**king scary tree.

Every time someone wants to cut a tree down, these f***ing Fairies appear and start cursing you!

I heard people discussing this on the radio not too long ago. It is unbelievable how much they believed it, one guy who wrote the book about it was saying that fairies had attacked him and loads of other nonsense. Why do fairies only live in a few bushes in Ireland I wonder? Don't people notice this stuff is all based on hoaxes, like the myth of sex being better with love...bollocks.
