The leanashe (pronounced /ˈlænəʃiː/) is an ancient Irish mythical monster, a possession spirit or vampire. Variations of the word include Dearg-Du, Dearg-Dul and Leansídhe. In Ireland many druids speak of Dearg-Duls which has to be killed by building a cairn of stones upon the grave. The Dearg-Duls can't shape change. Very little is known about the Dearg-Dul. According to Montague Summers, this Irish vampire can be held at bay by piling large amount of stones on its grave - but no Irish mythologist can find any reference to it.
