>
> > Dullahans are headless. Although the dullahan has no head upon its
> > shoulders, he carries it with him, either on the saddle-brow of his
> > horse or upraised in his right hand. The head is the colour and
> > texture of stale dough or mouldy cheese, and quite smooth. A hideous,
> > idiotic grin splits the face from ear to ear, and the eyes, which are
> > small and black, dart about like malignant flies. The entire head
> > glows with the phosphoresence of decaying matter and the creature may
> > use it as a lantern to guide its way along the darkened laneways of
> > the Irish countryside. Wherever the dullahan stops, a mortal dies.
> > The dullahan is possessed of supernatural sight. By holding his
> > severed head aloft, he can see for vast distances across the
> > countryside, even on the darkest night. Using this power, he can spy
> > the house of a dying person, no matter where it lies. Those who watch
> > from their windows to see him pass are rewarded for their pains by

> > blind in one eye.
>
> > The dullahan is usually mounted on a black steed, which thunders

> > parts of the country, such as County Tyrone, the dullahan drives a
> > black coach known as the coach-a-bower (from the Irish coiste bodhar,
> > meaning 'deaf or silent coach'). This is drawn by six black horses,
> > and travels so fast that the friction created by its movement often
> > sets on fire the bushes along the sides of the road. All gates fly
> > open to let rider and coach through, no matter how firmly they are
> > locked, so no one is truly safe from the attentions of this fairy.
> >>>> More on this fairy.

> > This fairy has a limited power of speech. Its disembodied head is
> > permitted to speak just once on each journey it undertakes, and then
> > has only the ability to call the name of the person whose death it

> > house and shout the name of the person about to die, drawing forth the
> > soul at the call. He may also stop at the very spot where a person

>
> > The origins of the dullahan are not known for certain, but he is
> > thought to be the embodiment of an ancient Celtic god, Crom Dubh, or
> > Black Crom. Crom Dubh was worshipped by the prehistoric king,
> > Tighermas, who ruled in Ireland about fifteen hundred years ago and
> > who legitimised human sacrifice to heathen idols. Being a fertility
> > god, Crom Dubh demanded human lives each year, the most favoured
> > method of sacrifice being decapitation. The worship of Crom continued
> > in Ireland until the sixth century, when Christian missionaries
> > arrived from Scotland. They denounced all such worship and under their
> > influence, the old sacrificial religions of Ireland began to lose
> > favour. Nonetheless, Crom Dubh was not to be denied his annual quota
> > of souls, and took on a physical form which became known as the
> > dullahan or far dorocha (meaning dark man), the tangible embodiment of
> > death.
>
> > Unlike the banshee, the dullahan does not pursue specific families and
> > its call is a summoning of the soul of a dying person rather than a
> > death warning. There is no real defence against the dullahan because
> > he is death's herald. However, an artefact made of gold may frighten
> > him away, for dullahan's appear to have an irrational fear of this
> > precious metal. Even a small amount of gold may suffice to drive them
> > off, as the following account from County Galway relates:
> > "A man was on his way home one night between Roundstone and
> > Ballyconneely. It was just getting dark and, all of a sudden, he heard
> > the sound of horse's hooves pounding along the road behind him.
> > Looking around, he saw the dullahan on his charger, hurtling towards
> > him at a fair speed. With a loud shout, he made to run but the thing
> > came on after him, gaining on him all the time. In truth, it would
> > have overtaken him and carried him away had he not dropped a gold-
> > headed pin from the folds of his shirt on the road behind him. There
> > was a roar in the air above him and, when he looked again, the
> > dullahan was gone".
