Summary

Jim shares stories starting in his youth in Ireland - beginning with faerie folklore told to him by elders which seemed to weave into his own experiences. A faerie tree, a terrifying woman who haunted Jim for years, a black dog, poltergeist activity, orbs, missing time, and much more… including a story of “the big man,” who knocked on windows, climbed on roofs, and generally behaved like bigfoot.
