As with Elves...you can't rule it out.

Leprechaun's may well have existed...a "tribe" of redheaded little folk living on the European islands.

I remember in kindergarden, they had us make Lep. Traps. Mine had an automated machine gun and used cube steaks for bait...I was a funny little bastard.

leprecons are laughable. Come on now little magical people wearing green suits and owning a pot of gold ?? think about this now.
No disrespect for anyone who believes in them, but I voted a definate no.

Sorry, but they annoyed us Neather Realm people. We hunted them to extinction centuries ago with extreme prejudice (though looking back on it, there where a few who pretty nice, but they too just got too annoying).

lol Manfred!

But i voted yes, because there have been sightings of them that seem truthful

I believe that there are no such things as leprecauns. What reason and/or purpose would they have to exist on our planet. Would they find hidden pots of gold underground? But there might be many people of some sort or pigmies that could be exaggerated to mimic, look like, or even be one. But I dont believe they exist or even ever roamed on this planet.

I have a story for you all, take anyway you want:

My ex and I were travelling down this main road into town when all of a sudden I notice this very old man hunched over dress completely in an elf outfit!. He was about 4 feet tall, probably taller if he wasn't hunched. At first I thought, what's this guy doing running around in an elf suit?? I pointed this out to my ex and he seemed to ignore me about it. It bugged me all day. About 2 months later, we were coming out of town, and again this old elf man was walking alongside the road. I quickly yelled out LOOK! there's that elfman! My ex swung his head around looking. Where? he said Right there! as I was practically jamming my finger through the windshield. I don't see him, my ex said. I screamed out...
RIGHT THERE! My ex looked at me as though I was psycho. He said, there was nothing there, but the elfman was as plain as day right infront of us. I kept swearing.....I can't f**kin believe that you didn't see him. My ex said...don't get so excited, it's okay....your just alittle out of it.......I think I wanted to strangle him at this point, no wonder we separated!
Now the final cruncher......my new boyfriend and I were meeting his ex-gf to pick up his kids for the day. I chatted with her and some how the elfman came up in conversation. She used to be a hairdresser and this elfman would come in and want a haircut. She said he kinda just grunted and groaned and never said anything, just pointed to his hair. So she and the other girl in the shop, treated him as a regular customer and cut his hair. After he left, some others came in an she may a comment, Did you see the elfman that was just here? They had to have passed him as there was only one way in and out. NO they said WHERE?
To this day....she has trouble convincing anyone, as I do.
So like I said....take anyway you want, but if I ever see that elfman again.
I'm gonna screech my car over and talk to him and get his picture!!!! ugg!

Anyone who truly believes in leprechauns is severely pushing the boundaries of stupidity, gullability, or naiveity.. take your pick as to which one.

QUOTE
One of the first things people think of in association with St.Patrick's Day is the leprechaun. Leprechauns are little make-believe fairies from Ireland. They look like a small, old man standing about two feet tall (The name leprechaun derives from the old Irish word "luchorpan", meaning "little body") and usually dressed like a shoemaker, with a cocked hat and a leather apron. According to legend, leprechauns are cute, mischievous, and playful creatures who love to drink, dance, and play music, and who pass the time making shoes. They are also believed to possess a hidden pot of gold. Treasure hunters can often track down a leprechaun by the sound of his shoemaker's hammer. If caught the leprechaun must grant his captor three wishes. However, the captor must keep their eyes on him every second. If the captor's eyes leave the leprechaun for even one second (and he often tricks them into looking away), he vanishes and all hopes of finding the treasure are lost.

The fact people make threads like this is frightening... blink.gif

I am not a skeptic when it comes to aliens and ghosts, but leprecauns are just like the Tooth Faerie and Easter Bunny.

Not really. The cam was set up on a hill watching a stone wall, a tree, and a field. There was also a link to a ghost cam in some church or somewhere like that. I don't watch either though i figure that they would be smarter than to let themselves be seen.
HolyDevil2053
I voted no. I don't think they exist...it's like unicorns and the easter bunny.

Santa really did exist at one point, but not now.

Some of my best friends are leprechauns.
On a lighter note Irish will share an Irish joke with you!

A young Irish girl goes into her priest on Saturday morning for confession.
"Father, forgive me for I have Thinned."
"You've Thinned?"
"Yes, I went out with me boyfriend Friday night. He held me hand twice, kissed me three times, and made love to me two times."
"Daughter! I want you to go straight home, squeeze seven lemons into a glass, and drink it straight down."
"Will that wash away me Thin?"
"No, but it will get the silly smile off your face."

warden
The old ones are always the best....to be sure
