		<description>Wow, that&#039;s fascinating! I interviewed author Herbie Brennan who writes the &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_4_7?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=faerie+wars+chronicles&amp;x=0&amp;y=0&amp;sprefix=Faerie+&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Faerie Wars Chronicles&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; series of books, and he claimed to have seen small, 0.6 meter tall &quot;fairy horses&quot; when he was a young man in Ireland. He told me he saw them near an ancient megalithic structure, and you say that you live near the rocks. That&#039;s an interesting similarity. Please email me if you have any other experiences that you&#039;d like to share.</description>

		<description>what if i told you that little men come at night and make noises in our ceiling until one evening they remove 3 of our boards in the ceiling and leave foot prints. its scarey but true. Once we heard them sweeping and the other like a horse galloping. its crazy but true. Here in west africa,nigeria,niger state very close to the rocks.</description>

		<description>You know, I mentioned Europe and North and South America, but I neglected to mention Asia (and Africa, for that matter). Actually, I&#039;d thought of that but the article was getting kind of long and I didn&#039;t want to write a whole book. 

There are accounts of little people all of the world, although I don&#039;t know an awful lot about the ones in Asia. Something I&#039;ll have to research. Cool stories, though. Yes, very interesting about the similarities coming from two such disparate cultures that are so far from each other geographically. I also find the fact that, as you said, the phenomena seemed to have &quot;followed him&quot;. That&#039;s something else I&#039;d like to discuss: the fact that some people are prone to seeing these things and often do throughout their lives. Popping out of the satellite dish is pretty wild, but who&#039;s to say? Can we accept one thing and not another because it&#039;s too &quot;out there&quot;?

Thanks for checking in with that, Parady. Hope to hear from you again.</description>

		<description>Great article there .

Actually there is something similar in southeast Asian , my grand pa said that  long time ago  farming family would leave some food (mostly leftover ) to an little entity ( I forgot the name) . thus the little creature would take care of the house and see that its safe , once in a while it would show sign (like a faint shadow or outline  ) to remind people that he is there. but if you forgot to put food , he is going to do some bad prank.  I find it odd to see some identical point with European folklore.

My Father also once told me stories of red clothed dwarf living deep in the forest and other wild stuff hes seen, I don&#039;t know if its true or not but he seems firm with his point : paranormal seems to like to followed him somewhat from his native country  to his new home in Canada.It may sound weird but the most recent happening was an encounter with 3ft  greys like being popping out of an satellite dish...(its okay if you don&#039;t believe even I have an hard time swallowing that) 

I never saw anything special in my life so that&#039;s just what some of my family member experienced and told me ...

		<description>Wow, that&#039;s really nice of you to say, Kiki. Thanks for the positive feedback. I hope to write more about the little folk in the near future. Right now I&#039;m trying to write something about an excellent book that I read called Hunt for the Skinwalker. It&#039;s not a huge book, but there&#039;s SO much weird stuff and bizarre happenings in the story, it&#039;s hard to tackle it all. That one might have to be in more than one part. 

I&#039;m particularly interested in anything where the lines are blurred between areas that are normally compartmentalized, like the UFO phenomena in relation to a lot of the old tales about faerie folk talking people away, or missing time in relationship to sightings of little folk. Or out-of-place animals and cryptids in a paranormal context. That&#039;s all very cool and interesting stuff to me, so keep checking back regularly because I&#039;ll be doing a lot of writing. If you want to, you and your boyfriend can sign up for my RSS feed or get updates through my Facebook page. Just enter The Paranomalist in the search field.

Thanks again for the kind words! And if you have any odd stories that you&#039;d like to share, feel free.</description>

		<description>Hello, I found your link through Professor Hex, and just wanted to let you know that your article is one that intrigues me deeply!  My boyfriend and I read tons of paranormal articles each day, and we both agree that this is one of the most interesting ones we have come across in weeks.  Thanks for the great info, and I&#039;ll be passing along this article via twitter!  Best, Kiki</description>

		<description>You might find some answers, with much well presented facts and evidence, in this book:

Interviews with the author are here:

Pretty compelling stuff.  Looks like some people have figured this out.  Being brave enough to write about it is admirable too.</description>

		<description>No! It&#039;s a gnome, dammit! And where there are gnomes, there are sure to be hobbits. And I&#039;m going to find them, and they&#039;re going to take me to Middle Earth, and....

Sorry, just kidding. Of course, it could have been a short, fat child, or a dwarf. This apparently took place late at night, at about 1 or 1:30 AM, so it would be unusual that someone was lying in wait in the brush wearing a gnome outfit in the hope that someone comes by so that it could jump out at them. That would be strange, but certainly not outside of the realm of possibility. 

According to the story that I read when this video was first released a couple of years ago, the article said that quite a few people in the area had seen this thing and purportedly were afraid to leave their homes at night. Still, a hoax is always very hard to rule out. It&#039;s really more probable than the idea that it&#039;s actually a gnome or duende. Nevertheless, I&#039;ll admit that I WANT it to be a gnome.</description>

		<description>Have you considered that the South American &#039;gnome&#039; may be a small, fat child in a pointed hat? I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a CGI -created image at all, but it is entirely possible, and even probable, that it&#039;s a very small adult or, more likely, a fat child. 

Just because the teens appear to be genuinely surprised and frightened doesn&#039;t mean the being in question is of what we would call supernatural origin. We&#039;ve all be surprised and frightened by other human beings if caught off guard or when coming upon them suddenly in unexpected places.</description>
