Be careful you don't tread on any mushrooms growing in the garden as these are the homes of tiny fairies who often come out after midnight to dance and play around them ...

My mother she killed me,
My father he ate me,
My sister, little Marlinchen,
Gathered together all my bones,
Tied them in a silken handkerchief,
Laid them beneath the juniper-tree,
Kywitt, kywitt, what a beautiful bird am I!

The Dullahan a tale of dark fae and woe for Halloween. He rides the Irish countryside looking for souls to collect carrying a jack-o'-lantern as a light. If he stops and calls out your name your bound to drop dead.
