FAE, DUENDE, & SIMILAR 'LITTLE BEINGS' - MYSTICAL HUMANOIDS | Live Chat Q&A | (AMAZING ENCOUNTERS!)
Apr 21, 2025
Fae, duendes, and similar "little beings" are supernatural, often nature-based creatures found in folklore and mythology across the globe. They can be seen as nature spirits, helpers, or even tricksters, with variations in their descriptions and powers depending on the specific tradition.
The term "Fae" broadly refers to a collective of supernatural beings, including fairies, elves, gnomes, sprites, and other nature spirits. The Faerie Folk are believed to be ancient beings that inhabited the Earth before the Celts or Anglo-Saxons.
Duendes, in particular, are small, human-like beings often associated with mischievous acts or even malevolent, but can also be benevolent. Their origins are part of the Hispanic culture and folklore.
In essence, "little beings" are a diverse and fascinating group of creatures that have captivated human imagination for centuries, reflecting our deep connection to nature and the supernatural.

4:22
So this first witness states "Hi this happened about 15 years ago when I was
4:28
about 18 I was taking a long hot beex than
4:34
anything else Typical winter day in Wsaw Wisconsin The bathroom was set up so
4:41
that the toilet was positioned about 5 ft directly across from my head while I
4:47
was lying back in the tub There was a potted plant on top of the toilet tank
4:52
Now while I lay there relaxing I suddenly noticed that there was a tiny bright golden white light fluttering in
4:59
the plant It looked like it was going from leaf to leaf stopping to rest sometimes I was confused as to what it
5:07
could be and just lay there watching it for a minute I decided to get up and and
5:13
see what kind of insect could be doing this in the winter I stood up from the
5:18
tub quietly and crept over to the plant And when I was about a foot away the light just went out like s
5:24
instantaneously disappeared I searched all over the plant It wasn't that large And around
5:31
the toilet didn't find anything I have no idea what it was The light was a
5:36
beautiful clear gold white color that I hadn't seen anywhere else It wasn't the
5:42
glow stick like green yellow that fireflies or glowworms have Also it didn't flicker or fly like a firefly
5:49
assuming of course that a fullgrown one could even be found in the winter I
5:55
guess it could have been a lot of things but it's always seemed fairylike to
6:01
me Now a couple is hiking and camping in Gford Pincho National Forest when a
6:08
Gossamerlike entity appears to the woman Later her companion encountered the same
6:13
entity at home So the witness states "Before my husband and I were married we went
6:19
overnight hiking on one of our first dates It was about a fivemile hike to our destination the Bolt Camp Shelter
6:27
It's just a little wooden shelter in the middle of nowhere in Gford Pincho National
6:33
Forest The hike was beautiful The sun was going down and there were many
6:38
ancient Douglas fur trees with hollow bases The sun was setting through them
6:43
and they looked a like little fairy abodess with warm hearth fires burning
6:50
within There were little wooden foot bridges here and there We could imagine little trolls living under them As night
6:59
fell we started seeing all these bioluminescent mushrooms on fallen logs
7:04
glowing an impossible shade of green It was magical We arrived at the shelter bit of
7:10
built a fire ate dinner drank a bit and went to sleep under the shelter which was half collapsed because a tree had
7:16
fallen on at some point I woke up in the middle of the night cold because the
7:21
fire was out Of course it was pitch black My husband was sleeping toward the outside of the shelter me on the inside
7:28
facing near the back That's when I saw it a thing whatever it was floating
7:34
around inside the shelter I don't know how to describe it other than a pinkish
7:40
gossamer spiderweb looking thing flying through the air turning and twisting over and over on itself It's quite
7:47
lovely I wasn't afraid of it but so fascinated I wanted to wake him up and
7:52
ask if he could see it but I was afraid it would either disappear or he wouldn't be able to see it and think I was crazy
7:59
I mean I barely knew the guy so I watched it for a bit fell back asleep and said
8:05
nothing That was until a couple months later when we got more familiar and were
8:10
reminiscing about our trip I told him about it and his mouth dropped open in shock
8:16
So we'd pack up and left the next day and I dropped him off at his house That
8:22
night he was out on his porch having a beer when he saw the same thing twisting floating through the air seemingly
8:28
almost a living thing It dissipated near some shrubs He was staring wondering
8:35
what the heck he just saw when a pair of glowing red eyes appeared He freaked a
8:41
bit and booked inside never spoke of it to anyone until I told him about my own
8:47
experience at the camp Now Dwende hold a significant place
8:53
in the cultural fabric of Latin America They represent a connection to the supernatural and continue to captivate
9:00
and intrigue people across different cultures Dwende are mythical creatures that have
9:08
been part of uh Latin American and Spanish folklore for centuries They're often portrayed as elf-like beings and
9:15
mischievous personalities Excuse me
9:20
Sorry In different regions dwende take on various forms and have unique characteristics
9:27
Now one popular representation of dwende can be found in South American country of Ecuador where they're known as El
9:34
Dwende An Ecuadorian folk Laurel Dwende is often portrayed as a small gnomeike
9:40
creature El Dwende is believed to inhabit natural landscapes such as forest mountains and
9:48
rivers They are said to dwell in hidden places using their magical powers to guard the environment and its
9:54
inhabitants These mythical creatures are often described as small beings with pointy ears and hats who are known for
10:00
the playful and sometime prankster nature So I received a telephone call
10:06
from one Dio Silva an Ecuadorian man who lives in the United States He's quite
10:13
familiar with the folklore of his native Ecuador especially when it comes to Elende Now he told me about an
10:19
experience that his grandmother and great had during the 1910s The sisters named Am Amada one's
10:27
grandmother aged 8 years old and Zula uh one's great aunt aged seven years old
10:34
lived in a small town of Alusi located in the Chimarazza
10:39
uh province of Ecuador among the foot foothills of the Andes mountains
10:45
One prefaced the story by explaining that the women in their family were very beautiful and that they possessed
10:51
another unique characteristics namely that they were very
10:56
hairy The family had a small store in the town and the sisters were responsible for gathering the rubbish
11:02
from the business and taking it to a field outside of town so it could be burned This was usually a daily chore So
11:09
one day the sisters were dragging the rubbish toward the field and as they were walking Zoa told Ameda that a small
11:17
boy was standing by the tree and that he was smoking a cigar Also the boy had
11:22
very large shoes This boy intently watched the girls as they passed him by
11:28
He didn't take his eyes off of them The boy was an Eldende or what they refer to
11:33
as a tintin It was said that Tintin usually appeared at night and threw pebbles at girls to
11:40
get their attention to make them fall in love He would follow the girls that interested him and wouldn't leave him
11:46
alone He would chase beautiful and virgin women with long black hair and lots of body hair He made them fall in
11:54
love to take them away or to father abnormal children often half animals half men As the sisters tried to ignore
12:02
Tintin but he began to follow them According to Omada he got close to them
12:08
and began to tickle the sisters thus falling under his possessive spell Now sometime later the sisters
12:15
were found lying in the field by a local man who happened to notice the unresponsive girls They were both
12:22
foaming at the mouth The man knew the girls and the family from town So he picked them up and took them to his home
12:29
or took them to their home where they soon recovered Became apparent that Tinten did not harm them or violate the
12:37
sisters Now one told me that it was a tale that both his grandmother and great
12:42
aunt would relate to their children All I mean though Amato was somewhat hesitant to do it at times I have
12:49
received many Dwight accounts over the years but I was intrigued and pleased to have his personal story told to
12:59
me Now this next witness tells me "Hello Lon One day in 1988 I was on my way to
13:07
an appointment in London's southeast area I was traveling through Oxford Circus to get to the line that would
13:13
take me to my station In the O Oxford Circus Underground there were at least
13:18
three levels which are hubs with various lines that run through them And I was on the second level heading to my eastbound
13:25
train I passed through the main hub of the of that level which had escalators
13:31
going up to the street level and a series of other tunnels branching off of it Now as I approached the main chamber
13:37
I was overcome by wonder and curiosity because there was a sound coming from there that I I couldn't really
13:44
comprehend It was musical and yet at the same time it wasn't The sound was very
13:49
enchanting and I was becoming more and more curious by the second to see what was making
13:55
it Now entering the main chamber in route to the other tunnel I looked over to the source and this is what I saw in
14:02
the few seconds it took to cross that chamber There were two very long
14:07
escalators going up and down to the street level In the center between the
14:13
two stood a little man I noted that he was cherubic in stature with stocky arms
14:19
and legs and a face with rosy cheeks And even at my location a few feet away I
14:25
could see his eyes were extremely blue otherworldly in color and twinkling His
14:30
lips were red He had a white mustache and beard and his hair was blonde silver in color These details were striking
14:37
about the others that were in evidence Now in his hands he held a delicate
14:43
silver flute from which the sound of music if you could call it that was
14:48
emanating It was enchanting in the sense that one's mind would try to resolve it to a melody or harmony And then it and
14:56
it would dance away and become something else His dress was very much what you
15:01
would imagine where you to see a leprechaun in real life drab in color with beige earth green and khaki brown
15:08
tones with boots that look like they were made of felt and the like and even a small felt khaki green hat on his head
15:16
with a feather in it Okay so he would have been dressed in
15:22
a costume and that would have been the end of my curiosity were it not for what
15:28
happened around him Crowds of people crowds of people came
15:33
up and down those escalators on both sides were reaching into their pockets and wallets and dropping money into his
15:39
oversized flute case But but it was overflowing with coins That was what
15:46
caught my attention And the fact that the people who were tossing in the money weren't even looking at him It was like
15:52
they were in a trance He was looking at me the whole time watching me to see what was going
15:58
on and I must have registered some astonishing awareness on my face because
16:04
he smiled in the middle of his playing and gave me a wink and a nod He
16:09
continued to play on that eerie music filling the hall on the ears and mind and the people continued like sleepers
16:16
not paying attention just digging in their pockets and dropping money into his bag I continued to my connecting
16:23
tunnel tunnel tunnel and not a few feet down that tunnel I encountered a young man playing an electric guitar with an
16:29
amplifier who was being completely drowned out by the eerie sounds coming from the adjoining chamber I
16:36
investigated his guitar case as I went by and saw that he had only a few coins in him I looked at his face and he gave
16:42
me the look that bespoke amazement and irritation that his music was being drowned out by the other worldly one
16:48
coming from the main hall Feeling badly for him I dropped the pound coin into his case and continued my way slightly
16:55
befuddled what I had just seen and experienced I later shared this with
17:01
some friends that had seen what I thought was a real leprechaun and told them the story They laughed at me and
17:08
thought I'd lost my marbles Then about a week or so later one of my friends came up to me at work very excited
17:15
She said that she had just seen my leprechaun in the same place in the same situation I had
17:20
described Everything was the same down to the people in the trance dropping money into his
17:26
bag She said when she was had seen him her mouth dropped open in an amazement
17:32
She realized I had been telling it exactly as it was and he too had looked over to her during that moment of
17:39
astonishment and gave her a wink and a nod We never saw or heard of him again after that So perhaps he got what he
17:55
needed Now this next account the witness states "On July 2nd 2007 I was at my
18:04
summer cottage near Lake Area in Western New York State I was walking my dog out at about 8:00
18:11
p.m The sun was just beginning to go down behind the trees casting a beautiful fractured light on the front
18:18
of the house In the distance I could hear my neighbor's ATV driving around the undeveloped wetlands adjacent to my
18:24
property Suddenly my dog began acting erratically pulling on the leash to go
18:30
back inside and turning his head toward the sky looking this way and that I
18:35
spoke to him asking what was wrong and looked around to see what was disturbing him other than the noise in the woods
18:42
That is when I saw a peculiar wing creature flying from out of the woods
18:47
across the front of the house Now the creature's wings were about 3 in across
18:52
The wings are transparent and rounded on the ends If you formed a C with your thumb and for forefinger and then
18:59
touched your thumbnails together you would have a rough estimation of the side the shape of the rear wings of the
19:06
creature The wings were not fluttering like a butterfly or vibrating like a dragonflies which are two common insects
19:12
in my yard The creature was gliding with perhaps a slight vibration I only saw the creature for a
19:20
length of time it took to fly to the end of the house Now once it got beyond the house into the open area of the front
19:26
yard it disappeared My eyes were on it the whole time The body was strangely humanlike in
19:33
shape with legs dangling from below By the shape of the wings I assumed it was a four-winged creature I thought after
19:40
being after the being disappeared was that must be what people see when they say they saw a fairy I felt elated
19:48
seeing this creature It was nothing I'd ever seen before
19:57
So uh this next witness states "On January 28th
20:03
1967 and this is a story he told me a few young friends aged between 10 and 11
20:09
years were playing near Dell at Stutum Bedford Shark The events that followed turned
20:15
that day into anything but ordinary There was a footpath leading to the Dell
20:20
which is like a small overgrown valley surrounded by bushes and trees beside Stutm Common It had been raining earlier
20:28
but now the sky was clear As the boys talked back and forth suddenly a flash
20:33
of lightning struck nearby One of the boys Alex Butler who was a little bit ahead of the others stopped in surprise
20:39
when he reached the edge of the bank above the Dell Standing near some bushes at the foot of the opposite bank about
20:46
20 yards away was a little blue man Now for a moment or two Alex stared at this
20:52
curious stranger in amazement before shouting to his friends to come and look They too stopped in bewilderment The
20:59
little blue man was about 3 foot tall with a tall hat or helmet which added to his heights and he glowed blue all over
21:06
He had two round eyes a strange flat triangle instead of a nose and his short
21:13
arms were held to the at his side and didn't appear to move His blue beard was
21:18
forked two parts running down each side of his chest The strange little man wore
21:24
a one-piece suit again of glowing blue with a black belt In front of the the buckle was a black box which was about 6
21:31
in square As the boys got near to where he was standing a strange whirling cloud of
21:39
yellow blue mist moved towards them and in an instance the strange little man vanished As their eyes searched the Dell
21:46
they spotted him again This time they also heard strange babbling voices Could
21:51
there have been more strange little men hidden in the undergrowth twice more as the boys tried to approach him the
21:57
little blue man disappeared into a puff of yellow blue mist Then the boys heard the school bell and rushed off in great
22:03
excitement to tell their teacher Mrs Nukem everything they had seen and heard
22:09
After listening to the story their teacher made them write it all down and make sure there was no copy On March 3rd 1967 the Dunstable
22:18
Gazette ran a short article on the Little Blue Men and then led to a reporter from the Flying Saucer Review
22:25
interviewing the boys and gathering all the details together It was a mystery that needed investigating Who or what
22:31
was the little blue man some people felt the boys had imagined it all However the
22:36
boy's teacher felt sure they had been telling the truth and that the unusual incident had really happened Now UFO
22:43
investigators suggested that the black box could have been a receiver and the fork beard some kind of breathing
22:49
apparatus However no UFO sightings reported in the area at the time So it
22:55
seems we can only guess that what what was in the Dell that day and that remains a mystery unless of course the
23:01
little blue man returns once more Now an outdoorsman and mushroom
23:08
hunters observed a bipeedal short humanoid walking through the woods He eventually realized that this was not a
23:15
woodland animal So he tells me "I'll be the first to admit I thought these type
23:20
of sightings were a joke and not real and I've never been able to take them seriously I am an outdoorsman and I've
23:26
been so for 35 years Grew up in the woods I memorized trees from mushroom
23:32
hunting for a living I know every brook stream bush berry grove log you name it
23:38
Because of this I want to keep my location private I'm on a forest road
23:43
and not a soul in sight I gather some of the mushrooms and and look up the road to see a rock had fallen from the loose
23:50
steep side of the mountain to the middle of the road I mentally noted that I must
23:56
move it and not drive over it I gather my mushrooms and go back to the car I
24:01
looked up and I saw what appeared to be a two or two and 1/2t tall little brown thing walking from the side of the road
24:08
over to the rock Now my first logical thought was it was a squirrel but I see
24:13
it's walking on two legs Appears to be wearing brown cloth or fur clothes and
24:19
it's shaped like a human but very thin It's not scurrying either It's ambling
24:24
on two legs like a human would Just casually walking like in some normal
24:30
regular thing like the monotonous work it does for a living I don't believe my lying eyes I
24:37
must be It must be something else I get back in my car and head up the road to see that the rock was being pushed to
24:43
the side of the road from whence it came It had fallen off the hill rolled to my left and then was sitting back on the
24:50
other side of the road to my right There were drag marks like somebody slid it back I look I smell I sense I listen
24:58
Nothing I don't know where gnomes lived but the old partially logged section where I was
25:06
looked I had looked perfect from the clan of these things Lots of things to
25:12
hide secluded near water plenty of roots of escape It would be easy to dig little holes in a mountain to be fortified
25:18
against invaders The side road into it was flooded and appeared to do so regularly
25:24
So these little guys even had their own moat I'm positive I'm overthinking this
25:30
It was a long drive back up the mountain then down the mountain to the other way and sometimes home And I can't pick this
25:36
apart into anything else but being that there's little tiny little forest men
25:42
I'm a thousand% positive that what I saw I was near a military special interest
25:48
zone allegedly blocked off due to some native butterflies But I'm starting to wonder if this research area is really
25:55
about butterflies after all They send you to prison ban you from parks and give you a $5,000 fine if you take a
26:01
single burri from inside that boundary So I wonder what it was he
26:10
found Now in this next account a Costa Rica man tells of his experience with a
26:17
duende He later describes his current encounters with Fay in his Northern California home
26:25
So he tells me I'm Costa Rican and this little people folklore is heavily instilled in children so they don't go
26:32
running off to become dwendy with forest folk Last time I visited the country I
26:37
was sleeping on the floor and was awoken calmly in the middle of the night At the end of the bed there was a shadow figure
26:44
2t tall stocking robust just watching me sleep I didn't feel disturbed or even
26:50
offended I felt well guarded and watched over So I went back to sleep without a second thought I even invited the one
26:57
day to stay as long as they'd like Now when I later awoke my dad told
27:03
me who was sleeping in the living room that he had woken up in the middle of the night in the back patio door in his
27:10
field of vision from the couch had opened slowly in the middle of night and he heard something coming in Emotionally
27:16
he responded the same way and just went back to sleep As if the creature had a connection relationship responsibility
27:22
to be there At a heartbased level neither one of us questioned why or how it was
27:30
there Later in the trip we walked around the rainforest and I swore a fa had called me
27:36
telepathically I turned to look and my eyes were drawn to a tree It had a hole
27:41
in its stump and very obviously looked like a den There were grass strands
27:46
right in the front of it fluttering yet no wind I knew it was a fail and I came
27:52
up right and and I came right up to the door said hello and thank you then went on my way Now that was 10 years ago Now
28:00
fast forward to year 2020 I live in Northern California in Chico My
28:05
apartment is infested with FA I was previously it was previously rented by an older woman who had passed away
28:13
They fed the alleycats and would always have them over It held that aura once I
28:19
moved in I tried cleansing it but lo and behold those spirits were strong and in love with the home so we lived
28:26
mutually in my shower I constantly see fluttering lights dancing around with me
28:32
I eventually began offering the fay anything that could appease them simply because they can make a space very
28:38
buzzing and electric sometimes an overwhelming feeling Milk honey rum chocolate bread mints
28:45
sweets flowers stones and kind words and affirmations were my
28:50
offerings I set up a little home for them and would light candles every night to symbolize the warmth and welcome that
28:57
I was extending They were certainly mischievous and can be emotionally flustering Uh what people say is their
29:04
angry and vengeful side It seems gnomes and fay work together They live in the
29:10
same medium realm and communicate with humans in the same way Gnomes mind their
29:16
own business for the most part but they will garner your
29:22
attention Now a uh in this next account William Ting William Ting North Carolina
29:30
experiencer wrote about seeing a different fay in her sister's house and in the cemetery nearby She wonders if
29:37
these beings are attracted to her So she tells me "Lon I just read one of the
29:43
stories you blogged about FA I wanted to give you a brief report of my encounters I saw a brownie It was
29:51
about 2 in tall long and tall humanoid but walked on all
29:57
fours with brown skin brown clothes and brown hair I was walking on the floor
30:03
and under my sister's bed I jumped and screamed I asked if it had
30:09
if they had weird bugs in the area or any pets She said no Of course it was gone a second
30:16
later The later the later saw one that had uh I later saw one that had autumn
30:23
colored featherly wings under a different bed in the same house It was also crawling on all fours
30:30
and only saw the wings was also gone a moment later and there was nothing under the bed with those colors In the woods
30:38
surrounding the house we'd off often heard a soft sound of tiny bells and quad giggles from the trees Now in a
30:46
nearby cemetery while visiting my grandpa's grave a small pale flying humanoid zoom past my head and into the
30:53
woods I wanted to ask you if you think that these fair attracted certain people
30:58
I find it fascinating that you theorize that the Chicago winged humanoids may show themselves to certain people I
31:05
wonder if it's the same plast experiences took place in Wilmington North Carolina uh near the
31:16
oceanfront So a fantas Santa Fe New Mexico father and son are taking a late
31:21
night walk in their neighborhood when they observe a three-foot tall scrawny humanoid
31:27
Then two more humanoids materialize So the witness states "My
31:32
father and I used to take u late night walks due to his insomnia at shift work
31:39
Our neighborhood is considered very safe and ultimately was an urban neighborhood Santa Fe New Mexico One of the roads
31:45
toward the back of the neighborhood was lined with thick forest for about a mile and a about a quarter deep which made a
31:52
circle back itself All these walks are very dear memories of mine except one and it ended being
31:59
the last one Along the road with the tree line there was a single uh street light to
32:06
illuminate a small plot of land that someone owned but was very overgrown and
32:11
ill-kept It was very common for us to walk this road to enjoy the sounds of the forest the lack of illumination and
32:18
the ease of circling back So one ordinary night as we were walking and making conversation my father abruptly
32:25
stopped pulled me close put a hand over my mouth crouched with me and pointed
32:31
towards a single illuminated plot roughly 100 yards away At first I didn't
32:37
see anything and thought he was pulling my leg But just as I began to protest his grasp I saw a very small humanoid
32:44
figure roughly three foot in height scrawny with long limbs materializing out of the plot's brush line and costly
32:52
take its surroundings before signaling the brush After a few seconds two more small
32:59
humanoid figures materialized as well After a moment of what looked like a
33:04
discussion all three dashed from the floor the forest tree line Once this
33:09
happened my father picked me up threw me over his shoulder and made a break for our home which was roughly a half mile
33:15
back Mind you now my father was 6'5" 220 lb and roughly 120 I was only about 120
33:22
pounds at the time and he never showed signs of sloowing due to his fear and adrenaline Now after that night we never
33:30
took late night walks He installed four bright motion detector lights around our
33:36
acre plot and brought home a dog Few times I tried bringing it up he doesn't
33:43
want to discuss and has made it clear that he never wanted to This figure figures still gave me chills And the
33:48
image of the three huddled together is very vivid 15 years later
33:57
Now this next account after a series of strange incidents it culminates in a knock at the door The Irish woman sees a
34:05
girl at the door and then realize she has black eyes Was this a
34:11
fay i'm telling the story for the first time The only other people who know
34:17
about this are my immediate family members I know it sounds completely fabricated and I have no way to prove
34:24
any of it but it happened But I'll do my best I'm originally from Ireland I moved
34:30
to the States roughly 20 years ago The story takes place in County Clare
34:35
Ireland when I was about 15 years old One afternoon I was walking through the
34:41
woods near my home I was alone I was a loner in my youth and I would often
34:46
stroll the woods until I found a tree to sit beneath and write Writing has always
34:51
been my hobby My point is that I was very familiar with these woods and I felt safe there Now on this day I was
34:59
walking a path to a specific tree that was my favorite to sit beneath The sounds of the woods were all
35:05
around me There was a gentle breeze and while I couldn't see the birds I could hear them It was
35:11
comforting And then it all stopped Everything became unnaturally still The
35:16
air was still the birds stopped twittering and I no longer heard a single thing I had never experienced it
35:23
before Was as if it had suddenly become as if I had suddenly become deaf There
35:30
was just nothing No sound no movement no breeze Now at this point I started to become anxious I wasn't afraid yet but I
35:37
started home anyway The feeling in the woods was not what it used to I was used
35:43
to I was no longer comforted so I decided to go home It was then that I saw movement
35:49
from the corner of my eye Nothing I could pinpoint but a dark shape that was just
35:55
there And then it wasn't Everything else was still that eerie
36:01
calm I started to walk faster and then the black shape appeared again This time
36:06
on the other side Now I was afraid I began to run I still heard nothing but I
36:12
was sure something was chasing me When I reached my home I ran inside and
36:17
slammed the door fully expecting my mom to yell at me for slamming But she wasn't there In fact nobody was home
36:25
That was a bit odd but not unheard of Finally gaining some sanity I decided I
36:31
needed tea Now so I began to boil the water for tea
36:36
And then there was a knock at the door I jumped My heart rose to my throat Nobody
36:42
knocked in these parts It was a small village where everyone knew everyone else Everyone was family There was no
36:49
knocking There was a friendly oi there And then people came in So the knock was
36:56
strange I crept over to the glass in the door and peeked out I noticed two things
37:01
right away that terrified and confused me The first was a child a girl maybe 10 or 12 looking at me Not look looking not
37:10
at me but at her feet The second thing scared me to my toes It
37:17
was getting dark How was this possible i had left to go on my walk at midday The
37:23
sun had been fully out and had been gone no longer in 40 minutes How then was it
37:29
dark i looked at the clock It was almost 7 How How had I misplaced 5 hours a
37:36
knock came again and I jumped again I didn't open the door I called out "Oi
37:41
there Can I help you the girl didn't look up She said "I need to come in
37:48
Please let me in." She had no accent She wasn't Irish
37:53
There was no lil in her voice She sounded American I called out again I can't let
37:59
you in but I'll ring someone if you need help The child didn't still didn't look
38:04
up She said "No that won't work I need to come in." Now at this point I had enough of this
38:12
strange scary child She freaked me out I wanted my mom I wanted my dad I wanted
38:18
to know where 5 hours my life had gone And I was so frightened at this point that not even the tea was going to help
38:25
So I did what any teenage girl would do when faced with a situation like this I screamed and ran to my bed I covered
38:32
myself with a blanket and wait for my mom to come home Now these were pre-cellular phones and I
38:40
was not going to risk going to the kitchen to prone to phone someone Plus I had no idea who I would call The girl
38:48
was still knocking on the door but she never moved to the a window or the back door She stayed at the front
38:55
door So after a while I got my nerve up to go check again It had been silent for
39:00
a while I went to the door and looked out the window The girl was still there but she was no longer at the door She
39:06
was sitting on the fence She was no longer looking down She was looking right at me And in the fading light it
39:13
looked like her eyes were pitch black I screamed again and ran back to the safety of my
39:19
blanket Eventually my mom came home I told her what happened She decided that
39:24
it was my overactive imagination But she did call down to the shops and the pubs
39:29
to find out if anyone in town had an American girl visiting or anyone knew who the girl was Nobody did My
39:37
grandmother told me I had survived an encounter with a fay or fairies and that I was lucky She was the only one who
39:44
ever believed me I never saw the girl again I never missed time again I never
39:50
felt absolute stillness in the woods again when I got up the courage to go back After I moved to the states and
39:58
years later I heard of a blackeyed children My story seemed to coincide with that but that's ridiculous right i
40:05
still have no explanation Demon fairy Now the fake is said to be evil and will
40:10
kidnap children in the woods or near a fairy hill Was it a ghost blackeyed child i don't know but it happened and I
40:18
swear to that So folks that was the ba last account You got any questions put them
40:24
up Bar and we'll see what we can answer for
40:42
you All caps please if you can
40:55
I don't know how good I am answering questions about FA and little people but I'll do the best I
41:04
can No
41:12
questions Libby asked I wonder why the front door I have no idea I really don't
41:21
Uh that is a good question I don't I really don't know Marla
41:27
Snder do you get more benevolent or malicious fay accounts um probably
41:33
benevolent Very rarely I get anything that's malicious or malevolent
41:41
Um as far as I'm Yeah As for what I believe I mean occasionally you'll get
41:47
a you'll get something has a little twist to it but normally they're they're very benevolent beings from what I can
41:55
tell Jose Sanchez are these little blue guys related in any way to the blue
42:01
aliens of communion uh you know from the description it doesn't look like it
42:06
doesn't seem to describe those I mean those things were a little more stout than that
42:16
I don't know if I talked to Whitley Strieber at some point I will ask him I
42:22
haven't talked to him in a while We did a case together many years ago but uh but if I do think about it I will ask
42:32
him Robo 1776 super chat Thanks
42:37
again Are the little people a distinct race there are stories of little people who had battles with Native Americans
42:44
vicious battles Yeah And some some lore there uh some of the tribe lore they
42:50
talk about I know the Shaune have little people encounters which is interesting because
42:56
the Shauni were the tribes that lived in West Virginia in around the area of Point Pleasant and that that part and
43:03
actually they used to live up in Pennsylvania as well
43:11
Alexis Chason have you ever seen a little bean before line no I haven't Not that I can tell I've heard a lot of
43:19
stories and I've I've um I've talked to people personally who said they have seen that but uh myself no I
43:32
haven't Uh CS did the blackeyed face start in the British
43:37
Isles i don't know You know that's the first time I've ever heard a blackeyed
43:42
kid associated with possible being a fay or a gnome or some
43:47
other supernatural being Though I'm quite sure blackeyed kids are supernatural to a point But what are
43:55
they really we really don't know Could they be fair
44:14
maybe Uh Leum the spicy lizard In
44:19
comparison to other phenomena do you find little people to be more dangerous and supernatural compared to Bigfoot Dog
44:25
Man etc
44:31
Um I don't know Um maybe um maybe there's more
44:37
mystery behind them You know we've been you know look the dog man I just that's something I don't want to come up
44:43
against Now I've had a Bigfoot encounter I didn't really seem like it was a
44:49
malicious being to me but then again I you know what really are fay and little
44:54
people i mean I don't know if I can really give
45:01
you an objective answer to that but uh but it's an interesting question Very
45:14
