Pixie

In Cornish folklore, the veil between worlds isn't just thin, it's practically woven into the landscape.

This is the domain of the Piskies or Pixies, the knockers of the tin mines and spirits that are inherently tied to the earth.

To understand the encounter of the Popero shapeshifter in the 1970s, you first have to understand the environment where it happened.

It didn't take place in a haunted house or a deep dark forest, but in an environment entirely unique to this part of the world, a traditional Cornish lane.

So which theory is your favorite?

Yeah, I'm going with pixies.

Pixies are a malevolent entity that's just causing chaos to cause chaos, has no purpose, no agenda, no morality.

It's just something absolutely insane that is happening to people.

It kind of reminds me a little bit of the stories in the UK about poltergeists, to be honest with you.

And if it dies, it gets to do things again.

you get a good look at this pixie and it looks as though it's like a copy of a copy of a copy and it's just like it has like one bulbous eye and it's completely white and his hair is just like matted to its face it doesn't look good um kale has been spreading his immortality across his soldiers And it doesn't look good.

Pixie herpes.

Exactly.

I would like to misty step out of the bar.

And no wonder you get stories about piskies and things in this part of Cornwall.

Speaking of which, I read some fairy tales about piskies.

Piskies is obviously the pixies the other way around.

And in Cornwall, it's always piskies and not pixies.

But at one point people used to say arcs and not ask.

Yee.

And she goes, "Nothing like a pixie wish engine." And, uh- [laughs]

Pixie wish engine

... and then she-

Oh, wait.

St. Minver is not only known for its connection to the legend of Tregeagle, but it is one of the many parishes beloved by the small people, or fairy folk, with whom Enys Tregarthen's little book has mostly to do.

Piskies danced in their rings and on many a cliff and common, and more, in that delightful parish, and on other wild moors, commons, and cliffs in many another parish in North and East Cornwall.

Fairy horsemen, locally known as night riders, used to steal horses from farmers' stables and ride them over the moors and commons till daybreak, when they left them to perish or to find their way back to their stalls.

Numberless stories of the little ancient people used to be told, which the cottagers often repeated to each other on winter evenings as they sat around the peat fires, and some of these Enys Tregarthen has retold.

The little Piskey was saying goodbye to that delightful spot, and with its soft turf and the beautiful Piskey ring on which he had danced times without number, for the poor, lonely little fellow did not know if he should ever come back again.

Then he broke off a bit of knapweed stem for a staff to help him on his journey to Rough Tor Marsh, and before the moon had laid down a lane of silver fire on the rippling waters between Tintagel Head and Trevose, the little Piskey had set out on his travels in search of his laugh.

Piskies always travel by night, and after many nights of wandering, the little Piskey, who had lost his laugh, came to the bog country, where he had last seen the little lantern.

Very tired and footsore was that little Piskey after his long journey, for having lost his laugh, he had no dance in his feet to help him along, and he felt so done up as he sat by the great bog, or Piskey bed, as he called it, that he had not much care whether he found his laugh or not.
