“In 1996 a small group of Presbyterian schoolboys were taken on a Christian field trip deep into the foothills of the Mountains of Mourne.
High on sugar and lack of sleep they fell one by one to a strange obsession with the wild landscape, it’s pagan history and their forbidden Irish roots.
Using a mixture of audio recorded at the time and dramatic recreation featuring local voice actors and some of the original participants, this is the true story of The Automatic Leprechaun, as featured in Fortean Times.”
