The deepest of them is 20 meters deep, so if someone accidentally fell there, they would most likely die without anyone knowing what became of that person.<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago, Stephen published <strong>an interesting video in which he reviews the research he did to find the origin of these wells and shows them from the inside<\/strong>, thanks to a GoPro camera that he inserted into them using a rope . Perhaps they were home to a banshee, a pooka, a grogoch or some other legendary creature of Ireland? <strong>I will not reveal the mystery to you, Stephen indicates it in the video<\/strong>.
