Are you a witch or
Are you a fairy?
Or are you the wife
of Michael Cleary?

Cleary, the Irish name is pronounced Clairy – FYI!

I watched a True Crime vidja about Bridget Cleary this morning (just to see what the “modern” BS story had morphed into) that made my blood run cold…as the saying goes.

Bridget Cleary

Horrific but it “allegedly” happened. And fairies are now evil as….(?)

Bridget was probably exhausted, and she didn’t want to be questioned any more. “Your mother used to go with the fairies and that is why you think I am going with them,” she told her husband. Michael was furious. He demanded that she eat three pieces of bread and jam—perhaps to reinforce his control over her—asking her to say her name again. She answered twice and ate two of the three pieces, but when she hesitated for a moment with the third, her husband flung her on the ground and threatened her: “If you won’t take it, down you will go.”

Michael jabbed his knee into her chest, forcing the bread and jam down Bridget’s throat. He began tearing off her clothes, leaving only her chemise, then grabbed a hot stick from the fire and held it close to her mouth. He struck her head against the floor, then set her chemise alight. Within a few minutes, he had also poured paraffin lamp oil over her, encouraging the flames.
