The first Leprechaun I saw with my naked eye was in Ireland at Powerscourt Waterfall, which is the biggest waterfall in Ireland. Its a very nice place to visit, and as I sat next to a run-off pool next to the main pool, something flew past my head and hit the water with a sploosh. I looked around and sat next to me, no word of a lie, was a translucent and almost invisible Leprechaun, throwing stones into the water, grinning at me, with the widest smile I have ever seen. He smiled at me for a few seconds and then (as if by magic) disappeared, This was 8 years ago on my honeymoon and I never ever told anyone about it. I had almost forgot it, and consigned it out of my mind mind, however I now know, as I have always known for sure that it was genuine.
