Leprechaun ghost stories?

Question

Any one know any good sites with stories on real encounters with leprechauns or tiny people? My mom, as well as some of my aunts and uncles, used to see them when they were younger in south america. they were tiny tiny people dressed in ancient clothing. They would disappear if you tried to chase them.

Where's paranermal when you need him?

I wasn't able to find a database of stories, but I did search in Y!A archives and found this old question:

I don't know of any sites, but I do know of several great folklore books on the subject. Also, you might try visiting some of the Fairy Raths in Ireland... they're said to be inhabited by fairy folk, and many people report the feeling of being unwelcome, being watched, and even held down by unseen hands or by an unseen force.

People all over the world in many cultures have reports of tiny people, dating as far back as the written word goes.

And, so far as the word "real" goes, it's sometimes hard to tell when someone is making up a great story or if what they say they experienced is real. Skepticism is needed to weed out the ones that are obviously not real, but in the end it's all about finding verifiable evidence.

But evidence is not required to believe.

Not any "ghost" stories, but all my grandparents are from Ireland.  Both my grannies would tell us about the "little people" when we were kids.  I was always on the watch for them.  Try
