"On a mysterious stretch of roadway in Waterford, Ireland lies a Fairy Tree, adorned with ribbons and trinkets. It’s beside this tree, to which, cars left in neutral gear are said to mysteriously roll uphill. Local legend attributes this phenomenon to the fairies or ‘little people’, who supposedly reside in the surrounding countryside. These mischievous folk are very protective of their land, and so they playfully usher visitors off their territory!”
