IT says you can find one by exchanging goods that they can use, and they will give you good luck or other services. But i only what a little bit of good luck, and if I found one, my dream would be complete of knowing that they actually exist, even though I have complete faith in them being real, just i've never seen anything like a mythical creature before. i would love to, and if I saw a lerperchaun, I would hope to make friends with it or at least see it and i dont even want anything from it except proof that they're real

It is very difficult to catch a tricky Leprechaun, but you can sure have fun trying! The first thing you need to do is build a trap. There is no right or wrong way to build a Leprechaun trap.
You can make a contraption with a net, boxes, a clean can, or anything else you can think of such as paper towel rolls, empty containers, tin foil, paper, string or yarn, sandwich bags, etc; or, how about using an old shoe since they are said to be cobblers. You have to be very creative to catch a Leprechaun.
Once you build your trap, don't forget to add bait to help lure the Leprechaun. Since Leprechauns are very greedy, one of the best things you can use for bait are coins! If you don't want to use real coins, you can easily substitute candy coins or make your own gold coins by cutting circles out of cardboard and painting them gold. Gold nuggets made by painting small rocks are another option.

Look up leprechauns on the Internet. There is tons of information about them. There is even How To Build A Leprechaun Trap.
They are tricky creatures. They may grant you three wishes and then grant you a fourth but if you use it you lose them all. If you catch one, don't break eye contact or poof, they will be gone. They are not as nice as people think. They can go either way. Remember, they are part of the fairy realm and do not think the way we humans do. Right and wrong is totally different with them.

What is it? Leperchauns are really fairy/elef police. If you want gold then it is a fairy you wanna catch but the outcome will be no gold and death. Your best bet would to be to help a fairy and hope she/he grants you a wish in return but offer help with a pure heart and not for a reward. Hope this helps!
PS. Fairys are really the ones at the end of the rainbow!

This is rather basic. Leprechauns are ancient pagan gods/goddesses [who are actually neirphrim? that are the offspring of angels/demons and mortals] chased beneath ground by the truth of God and Christ. What you want is a faerie or a gnome who are the servants of these [people?] .
To do so visit a holy site of any religion rather than worship site. then search around its grounds. You might find one or not. Of course they only visit true believers and families that they have known down the centuries. Good luck.

They like to hang out around houses and farms and things and do mischievous stuff like turn the milk sour while it's still in the cow.
You have to sneak up on them.
And once you find one you can't take your eyes off of it or it'll get away.
It's really better to stay away from them though, because they can make bad things happen.

Go to Ireland, dig a hole, fill it with luck charms, come back in the morning and see if you've got one.
Be careful, they're vicious little buggers.

Don't watch to much fairy tale movies, it's only a myth, only to expressed what's on our mind.
But If you realy want to catch one, wait for the St. Patricks feast (Hanukkah Day) there are to many leprechaun there, surely you can catch one.

well first of all most of the Fae(Faeries, gnomes, nymphs, etc...) reside in the uk, etc. the oldest parts of the world. cuz they are most pure of energy, and rid of the new world shite....secondly you have to listen to the earth, meditate, understand.then you can ASK for they're presence.They won't appear on their own, for they know the nature of humans, they need to trust you before they appear to you.

I would like to believe in magic stuff too, but i don't think it exsist. But if you want to catch a leprechaun you need to let it come to you or jump on a rainbow to go to his gold and wait until he arrives
