Biography
Wayne Whittaker, Jr. claims to be a UFO-specialist who's been pursuing alien activities over the last 30 years. He claims to have a great knowledge of aliens. He is interviewed by Sam and Dean regarding the mysterious disappearances in Elwood, Indiana. Later, after Dean goes missing, Sam seeks Wayne out to determine what exactly he knows. Wayne hands over a pamphlet of his information, which Sam ridicules. He insults Wayne, telling him he "sucks at hunting UFO's."

Eventually, it is revealed that Wayne isn't in fact a human, but a leprechaun, one of the fairies, who's covering up the abductions committed by his kind by claiming it was the work of aliens. He was summoned to the town by the ignorant Mr. Brennan, who was unaware of the price he'd have to pay in making a fairy deal, and the fact that fairies always "come to stay." In this episode, the price was the first-born sons of the whole town, starting with Brennan's own. At Sam's urging, Mr. Brennan attempts to undo the spell that summoned him, but the Leprechaun kills him for trying to go back on their deal. He and Sam then engage in a fight, in which Wayne easily overpowers Sam. However, Sam manages to incapacitate him by spilling salt, forcing the fairy to count each grain. This gives Sam time to finish the counter-spell, which sends all the fairies away.
