Account

The witness describes growing up in a remote wooded home where the family routinely encountered a tall white figure with red eyes called Whistling Paddy. She recalls hearing its whistling and screaming sounds as a child, while relatives reported seeing it around the home, especially at dusk when it came for vegetable scraps. The family did not generally fear it but brought children inside after dark.
