From Ireland, is the Legend of The Fear Gorta. The story can be traced back to The Middle Ages, with a huge resurgence during the 1840s in Ireland. The Fear Gorta is a malevolent spirit. It takes the form of an emaciated old man. When seen wandering through the night, The Fear Gorta is begging for food. He is seen when large spread famines are present. Some say if you give The Fear Gorta food (or even attempt), the famine will end and the person will be blessed with good luck.
