Marty Cullen treads lightly around the tenuous tempers of Ulster's fairy folk, hearing some of lesser known stories of their wrath and learning how to survive their curses.

The fairies of Ireland aren't the friendly winged companions of the silver screen or children's books. Forget Tinkerbell, the Fairy Godmother or pestering pixies, these fairies can take any form they like. They could be the person sitting beside you on the bus, they could be a cow in the field with a strange look in its eye or a horse, a hare, or even a hound.

The creatures of Ireland's sidhe and otherworld come to life in this episode through the tongue of a storytellers tale. In the midst of the Mourne Mountains, Steve Lally tells the story of Atty Jack, a man who disrespected the fairies and ended up with donkey ears. Bernadette Layden remembers one of Fermanagh's most famous sons, Donn Binn Maguire, who was taken hostage into a fairy kingdom. Plus, on the coast of Donegal, the eternal call of the sea proves too strong for one mother. Joe Brennan tells of a selkies return home.
