Top ten scariest monsters and demons from Celtic myth

Love it. I live in Corca Dhuibhne at the Irish-speaking end of the Dingle peninsula, where traditional storytelling's still part of ordinary life. There’s a story here about one of the Blasket Islands. One night an old woman woke up and heard music outside the house. At first she thought she was mistaken and she tried to go to sleep again. Then she woke the old man beside her and he listened too. All night long the weird music passed away to the cliffs and back again, coming and going over the house. And then, when the sun rose, it passed away altogether, drifting over the western sea. But the old people remembered the tune. And that tune has been passed down from the islanders through generations. The name they gave it was Port na bPúcaí, which means ‘The Fairy Music’. And people said it was a fairy funeral they’d heard, and the sound of the banshee lamenting as one of the fairies was carried over the Atlantic to the Isle of the Blessed. That tune was played in my house here a couple of nights ago, by a neighbour who'd learnt it from a descendant of the islanders. And I can personally vouch for it strange, weird power!

One of the "myths" was bound to involve draining of blood, the method of feeding of the the beings from the binary solar system of Zeta Reticuli, 'the greys', is to drain blood from livestock, pour the blood into huge vats, then jump in & swim around in it.....they absorb nutrients through their skin, and mix some human blood with that mixture.....Madame Bathory, so-called serial killer, is described as needing to have baths in blood, the creature probably used dissimulation technology, let's invent a word here, "disstech".....to fool human senses into thinking they are looking at a human being. Bloodless corpses were found flung around her castle's grounds, so - very rough similarity of one mythology to another? That's what makes it worth reading these pieces. Of course all our governments have agreed to keep the lid on these stories, and allowed Bram to slant these descriptions to suit politicans.

omg I need to proof read my comments ..lol she said to stop screaming like a banshee ..

haha @ Pugsmom.. I remember when I was a kid my mom would stom screaming like a banshee..lol that was over 50 yrs ago ..

The pre-Christian Celts were in the Northeastern U.S. 3,000 years ago and built the standing stones in what is now New York State and Connecticut. Check out Dr. Philip Imbrogno's book(s), "CELTIC MYSTERIES IN NEW ENGLAND". There most definitely, he and fellow researcher Marianne Horrigan, relayed what residents saw as an ancient Druid priest with men having red or blonde hair, helmets and sky-blue eyes, accompanying him. FASCINATING!

Stoker was not the first Irish vampire storyteller.

Pugsmom, that was the first thing I thought as well!

Just a picky little question: How can a headless horse have "flaming eyes?"
