he supposed to be the celts version of the grim reaper. anyone wanna give me their oppinion?

He's more French-celtic than Gaelic/British Celtic. He's supposed to ride around the countryside during the night on a cart pulled by four black horses, with two skeleton helpers who throw the souls of the recently dead into the cart. As time wore on, he was "downgraded" in myth a little, and is now thought of as a ghost that guards cemeteries.

Weirdness. Did it see you or talk to you?

[alastor moon]

no, apearantly he doesn't care much for the living. just the dead. I couldn't see his face because it was shadowed. bythe way my family is scottish, irshs mix on my moms side(my reat grand ma was her grandma.)

[Phantom X]

So Ill eventually see it in death or do you have to believe in him and be Irish?

I don't know. i guess if he's "available" at your death you'll see him i guess. i don't know for sure.

Is there anywhere special he takes you or do you go to a diffrent kind of hell/heaven? (both containing mass amounts of alchol and irish songs.)
