`The spectral figure of the #pooka could also appear in the form of a goat, who lived in the woods and had a tremendous capacity for leaping over fences and other obstacles. One tale describes how a pooka, in the form of a goat, leaped onto a man’s shoulders. When he went home, he took to his bed and was unable to move for three weeks with intense pain, although there was no visible mark from the attack.`

James Stewart is Elwood P. Dowd. An ordinary man with an extraordinary claim: his best friend is an invisible, six feet three and a half inches-tall #pooka – a mythological Celtic, shapeshifting creature – who in Mr Dowd's case resembles a rabbit called #Harvey. Elwood's sister and niece, who also occasionally see the furry goblin, have their relative send to a sanatorium where the doctors and us viewers learn more about this curious case.
Harvey (1950), based on Mary Chase's #PulitzerPrize Play with the same name, is guaranteed to bring a smile on your face, this humbug's scout's honour! Have a nice #Easter, CineMastodons!

The #pooka attacked most often after #Samhain, when winter began, and was thought by some to be the cause of plants’ blighting in that season. In its horse form, it would take its victims on a wild ride, flying through the air in terrifying fashion and leaving the unfortunate rider far from where he started.

In ritardo col #giochedì vi presento, generosamente illustrato da Domenico Neziti, Rossanube da Nessunposto, impareggiabile spadaccino, ispirato poeta, narratore di chiara fama, beniamino delle Eumenidi e gentilvolpe alla Corte Seelie delle Fate.
E soprattutto un bugiardo e un cialtrone di ultima, come ogni Pooka che si rispetti.
Uhm, sì, potreste trovare qualche vaga somiglianza con l'outfit nel mio avatar.
