Ireland’s darkest, oddest and weirdest secrets uncovered
From banshees, to people who had mermaid lovers, crowdsourced stories reveal a different country
www.irishtimes.com

“Half a million pages have been digitised by the National Folklore Collection, of which more than 100,000 pages have now been transcribed by volunteers, revealing the fairy situation in every townland, the types of leprechaun and butter churn common to each area, the names of people who tried to steal gold and what happened to them, or who had relationships with mermaids. There is material on local cures, holy wells, strange animals, travelling folk and spirits.”

The folklore collection features far more than supernatural activity; there are more than 3,300 stories on butter and churns, with many thousands of entries on traditional crafts, tools and skills, and a vast range of information on ethnomedicinal and ethnobotanical cures and practices, much of which has never been written down before, or since.

So cool.
