Echtra Nerai (The Adventure of Nera)
Echtra Nerai is the Samhain tale of Rathcroghan: the warrior Nera braves a hanged man's corpse, follows a phantom host through Oweynagat cave into the Otherworld, and returns with summer flowers in winter as proof, before choosing to remain in the síd until Doomsday.
