THE IRISH WATER-TRICKSTER is a legend of a creature that lures young boys and girls with letters. All the cases of this happened in North and South of Ireland. The Trickster has never harmed a child so far so do not be alarmed too much if you or your child witnesses it. It is seen in small lakes near areas with more than 6 children that are 17 and under. The Trickster's favorite age range is seen as 1-11 least is 16-17. Little girls and boys are more naive so they can be tricked easily but they still have to be able to walk and talk so babies are not on the list but they grow up fast. The trickster will take any form and a voice that the victim would be more willing to go to, the chosen one will be tricked into going down to the lake/river and the trickster would hide them for another person to find them (any age) and if you don't find them with in a day the trickster might harm the child but all cases haven't went that far yet so lets hope it stays the same. If it is;dark,messy,cluttered,hidden near the lake/river it is high chance the trickster will be in there waiting

The last case was in 1999 Northern Ireland where 8 year old Monica McNaughting was walking with a group of freinds (ages 9,6 and 8) and sibling (age 10) was walking past a forest with a lake when Monica said she heard her mothers voice coming through the trees asking her to come. She went while her freinds and sibling waited as the voice told her sibling (Mandy) to stay because it was "private" between Monica and her. Monica described there being a feeling that a lot of nettles were stinging her back of her legs but there was nothing. She went on to find her mother but found no one there. She felt something push her in the river and recalled the voice saying "Lets play hide and seek" above her. Monica told the reporter she could breathe and open her eyes but felt as if she was being forced to stay and the bottom of the lake. Her sister,Mandy said she ran in and saw nothing except a normal looking forest and began looking for Monica. Luckily,Monica was found 1 hour later looking incredibly dirty and like she hadn't ate in a week (people theorize the monster tries to drain the victims blood).
