Attacked by a Leprechaun
by Michael Carter
I am a tour manager for various bands and, as you can guess, this involves a lot of traveling abroad. I happened to be working with a French band called Air who wanted to tour Europe. We had just finished up in Wales and were moving on to Ireland when it happened.
On the plane ride there, we were shown a short animated film about leprechauns. It was very jokey and no one took it at all seriously. When we arrived, I showed the band to their room and then went to mine. When I came in, there was an odd silhouette on the bed. I flicked on the lights to see a plastic leprechaun. Boy did I jump! One of the girls from the production team had put it there as a joke.
The next morning, everyone was laughing at my expense, but I laughed along; it was pretty funny. However, later that day I left my room and headed for the game room. After a few games of pool, I stopped in the loo. While washing my hands, I spotted something in the mirror. Not worried, I turned and looked around. Seeing nothing, I turned back and then saw it in the mirror again - a distinct shape, a small humanoid. I turned again faster and caught it. There was a small humanoid with bright tufts of red hair was grinning manically at me. Its hair was matted and it was completely naked apart from a piece of fur around its waist.
I reached behind for something to protect myself with when he leapt. With shocking speed it was on my head and - bang! - one swift crack to the skull. I woke up in a hospital bed. Apparently, I had been found with blood on my head and my wallet missing. They all thought I was mugged and had notified the police. Nothing much else happened. The tour went well, but I was much more wary about being alone. When I returned to England, I told my wife what I saw and she laughed, thinking I was making light of my experience. I decided to keep quiet, but this website will accept my story, hopefully.
