Dáta: 06/11/2023
Is dócha go bhfuil athrú mór tagtha ar an tuiscint atá ag an Éireannach ar Shamhain/Halloween le himeacht na mblianta agus is dócha gur mó go mór atá neacha agus gnéithe uafásacha á gceangal leis anois seachas mar a bhíodh i gceist le seantuiscint na nGael. Mar sin féin, bhíodh neacha uafásacha i gceist sa seanreacht freisin, agus is beag ainm ar bhaile fearainn is fearr mar shampla de sin ná Glennawoo/Gleann na bhFuath "gleann na n-arrachtach" in aice le Loch Tailt agus Sliabh Gamh i Sligeach (féach logainm.ie: #45661). Tugtar tuairisc ar sheantuiscint amháin faoin ainm sin in History of Sligo: Town and County iii le W. G. Wood-Martin:
The tradition is, that the valley in which the well is situated was the haunt of a monster in the shape of a great serpent that devoured or destroyed every human being or animal within reach, and hence the name of the Glenn. But a delivery arrived in the person of St. Athy or Araght [Athracht] ... bringing a blessed staff given to her by St. Patrick, with which she pursued and killed the monster on the spot where the well sprang up (l. 357; féach anseo).
