rashore Posted June 1, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Quote Ircinrraaq (pronounced Irr-chin-hhak) is an Inuit word used when describing any of the “Little People” who live in the Arctic in caves, mountains or underground. According to the stories of the Inuit and the occasional report to the police by non-Inuit through the years, there are several different Ircinrraaq, but most have been described as having pointed ears, darkish coloured skin and very dark eyes. They’re strong, fast and intelligent beings, extremely skilled at hunting with bow and arrow and wear clothes made of animal skins. They live their lives according to the “old ways”. Some Ircinrraaq are considered helpful, they may direct a lost hunter or child toward home or help get one’s truck out of the mud, but other are considered mean or even evil. They can disorient and confuse and are suspected in several disappearances of both children and adults. The Ircinrraaq have reportedly taken people into their homes to spend the night and let them go the next day, while others never return. https://thecuriousfortean.com/2017/05/28/the-ircinrraaq-little-people-of-the-arctic/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast Posted June 1, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2017 If you ever plan to spend a night in an Ircinrraaq`s home, make sure s/he is a vegetarian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OverSword Posted June 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Great read. Curious how similar the behavior and characteristics of these creatures is to the fairies of European lore. Edited June 1, 2017 by OverSword 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds are not good. Hard going for a vegetarian in the Arctic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted May 11, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I was going to say, "I thought I read about this last summer". And then I noticed the OP was from last summer. I do find folklore mythological creature stories to be fascinating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
