Irish evil fairy.

"The mere sight of it may prevent hens laying their eggs or cows giving milk, and it is the curse of all late night travellers as it is known to swoop them up on to its back and then throw them into muddy ditches or bogholes. The pooka has the power of human speech, and it has been known to stop in front of certain houses and call out the names of those it wants to take upon its midnight dashes. If that person refuses, the pooka will vandalise their property because it is a very vindictive fairy."

In north Ireland.

It's still weird.

>From old celtic mythology; A fairy spirit in animal form, always very large. The Pooka appears here and there, now and then, to this one and that one. A benign but mischievous creature. Very fond of rum pots, crack pots, and how are you Mr. Anon?

I love that movie.

Weird.

Just modern bullshit by the Spiderwick author. In Irish folklore they always took the form of a black pony or rabbit.

Not so much evil as a prankster. They never kill anyone in the stories, they just spook them for the most part.

I think Mr. Wilson summed it up nicely.
