Irish Scientists Claim To Have Found “REAL Life Leprechaun Cave”

real leprechaun cave

 
 
Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have discovered a cave on Ireland’s northwest coast which they believe was once the actual home of a leprechaun. Scientific evaluation of the artifacts found in the small cave reveals that shoe-making equipment, maps and gold coins were apparently left behind by the leprechaun sometime between the years 1650 and 1700.
 
The initial discovery was made by two amateur cavers who are TCD students, on holiday in the fishing town of Killybegs. They heard myths recounted by locals about a small, mysterious cave hidden about 2 km up the shoreline, and set out to investigate. After several days of searching they found what appeared to be the entrance to a cave, well-camouflaged by large rocks and trees. The outcropping was engraved with what seemed to be a rudimentary form of Gaelic lettering. However, the cave was much too small for them to enter and explore, with the entrance only about 60 cm tall.
 
An interesting story.  The Irish have always taken their folklore and fairy tales seriously. That’s not to say it’s silly to do so either.  If you have ever experienced something unexplained of anykind, then you know why I would say such a thing.  There is more to this world than you think.  Click the link above to read more, enjoy.

    If you had said they were LSD students more people would believe them :lol:

    • Could be Tetra(hydra)CanabinolDopehead students.

  • They were more likely hallucinating again and ran across a poor little homeless shrimp.
