[SPEAKER_01]: I got stuff for you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Holy moly.
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to get some snakes and release them around my house.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I love eat people.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love eat kids.
[SPEAKER_04]: These guys are the scientists of the supernatural.
[SPEAKER_04]: Lecturers leaving lessons for inquiring laymen.
[SPEAKER_04]: They are applying the scientific med that do a world that baffle signs.
[SPEAKER_04]: They are the cryptids of the core.
[SPEAKER_02]: Every day, you open your mouth.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm more convinced you're a defaillian.
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it just stood up.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it just kept going.
[SPEAKER_03]: And go on.
[SPEAKER_03]: And she goes, what the fuck?
[SPEAKER_01]: These are idiots.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was laughing reading this because I already knew how you would feel.
[SPEAKER_01]: Idiot!
[SPEAKER_01]: Where's the story?
[SPEAKER_01]: Fits your balloon.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, this is a UFO.
[SPEAKER_02]: But who else has big black wings and red eyes?
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, Batman.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, my man.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, everyone, I think we know it's definitely what it is.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, say it all with me, it was a sand bill crane.
[SPEAKER_01]: Would you try it?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, you wouldn't need it.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, why?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they're probably toxic.
[SPEAKER_02]: There'd be a lot of poop in my face.
[SPEAKER_02]: And seeing a six foot alley, you gotta go swing into the air, slam into a tree.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[SPEAKER_02]: I will have something somber, I guess the song is right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right word.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, good friend.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jeremiah from the Bigfoot Society podcast.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Has recently been, I got it pulled up.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I, I don't miss anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh gosh, why maybe.
[SPEAKER_02]: As a large cell in Phoma, he's been diagnosed with a large cell in Phoma, Jeremiah the young man, he has a young family.
[SPEAKER_02]: I talked to him before we did this, just to make sure everything's kosher, but
[SPEAKER_02]: Please if first off he asked any of prayer wars.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think like that, please pray for Jeremiah and his family for speedy recovery.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, and he gives him the remission very quickly.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's good person and great for the community and just all around, yeah, positive person.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, also we will have his, we have his care bridge link below and his go fund me link, uh, anything that anybody can, if you want to support, uh, and financially, there's a way to do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: The care bridge link is just a way to kind of keep up with what is going on with him.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like a website, so he doesn't have to update everything everywhere.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mmm, I gotcha.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just on that, like so you can see.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um,
[SPEAKER_01]: So send them some, you know, support, whether it's finding it's just words of kindness.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, seriously, just comment on someone as opposed to say you're praying for.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, if you can, if you are of the ability, we feel led to donate to him and his family, like I said, he's got a very young family.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and I couldn't even imagine.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, we're thinking about your Jeremiah and we're hoping the best for you and we're hoping for a prank for a speedy recovery.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so do you have any idea what taste topic is?
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah, shit, see here.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so the people have been like one and it requested it for two years, or ish now?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, five, six, eight years.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, whatever, we ain't been around that long.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm 31.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been around a long time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: A guy would randomly walk up to me way before this announced.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, well, you do an episode on this, and I'm like, what are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_02]: And then they're like, you'll know.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now you know.
[SPEAKER_04]: You'll know what it happens.
[SPEAKER_02]: Who else can?
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, I...
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, the garden known kind of things, they're in your house, like, nisses, like what, nisses, I don't know what that is.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a little fair, or a little goblin lives in your house.
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I've seen like a video of like this little gnome thing in someone's house once, and it was really creepy and weird.
[SPEAKER_02]: They are pleasant.
[SPEAKER_02]: I will say from I have a handful of stories, and we have a lot of folklore we're going to go through.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, then let's get into it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I will say none of them look very pleasant.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whether they're better good is up to each story in your folklore.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you just seen one of these things, it would be bad if it showed up in my house.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll just say that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are they okay though shaking the gun well of it depends on how it approach the long you didn't just pop out of somewhere if it said like hey Like from around the corner.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, where I couldn't see it immediately.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like well I didn't shoot Hank to death Hank yeah, Burma when Hank went hey.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah the goat think yeah around said the window hey some guy what yeah Just a goat
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, what if, yeah, if you unless you like preface like, hey, I'm part settlement or don't shoot me, then your guard would be like, okay, I can relax.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's still a blunder bust.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just waiting.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to a gun.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm bought a gun for everyone.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to the gun store today.
[SPEAKER_02]: Get a bold blunder bus.
[SPEAKER_02]: That'd be fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't have any open black powder, though.
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's the main ingredient black powder?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, sulfur.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, first of all, I have for you is from Phantom and Monsters, Lawn Strikler's website, and it is titled.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a great website.
[SPEAKER_02]: Goblins.
[SPEAKER_02]: Two terrifying night visitor encounters in the home.
[SPEAKER_01]: In the home, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just, I wish I were to add it on the soundboard, but we don't have to compete here in this, this studio anymore.
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, what's his name going, Goblins?
[SPEAKER_01]: Goblins, I don't know, real.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_02]: Alex Jones.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh vampire goblins goblins goblins goblins goblins goblins and demons I just every time ready for that goblins.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, that'd be a nice button
[SPEAKER_02]: Late night encounters inside a home carry a unique weight.
[SPEAKER_02]: They violate one's place where people expect safety privacy and control.
[SPEAKER_02]: These two reports separated by many years, geography described eerily similar, small, human noide entities.
[SPEAKER_02]: Their pair suddenly watched silently in the vanish without explanation, leaving behind lasting fear-down-answered questions.
[SPEAKER_02]: OK.
[SPEAKER_02]: first encounter, apartment living room early morning hours.
[SPEAKER_02]: The witness and everybody don't know what one researchers these and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he talks to the witness and gets their story, does follow-ups and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how they're written.
[SPEAKER_02]: The witness had been asleep with her one-year-old son when she woke up to an unusual disturbance.
[SPEAKER_02]: Her child, typically still during sleep, was restless, rolling and kicking repeatedly.
[SPEAKER_02]: After nearly half an hour of this concern were replaced with irritation.
[SPEAKER_02]: As the child might roll off the bed, she carried him to the living room and placed him in the playpen.
[SPEAKER_02]: The apartment was dim but not dark.
[SPEAKER_02]: Adam and our ambient light from outside, provided clear visibility.
[SPEAKER_02]: After placing her son down, the witness went to the bathroom leaving
[SPEAKER_02]: While seated, she glanced towards the playup in.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's when she saw, or what she saw was not a shadow.
[SPEAKER_02]: A small black humanoid from a hunched low down beside the playpin.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, that sounds inviting.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the babies in the playpin.
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's a small black humanoid.
[SPEAKER_02]: So a shadow creature concealed, but clearly visible through the mesh netting.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's on the other side of the playpin.
[SPEAKER_02]: So she's like looking through the mesh in a peer to be crouching as if attempting to hide though it's attempts were ineffective.
[SPEAKER_02]: The entity was entirely dark in color, with long arms and compact but slightly muscular upper body.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's had was an extremely large of proportion to its frame.
[SPEAKER_02]: So tiny muscular body really, really long arms and really big head.
[SPEAKER_01]: You remind me of something though, and I cannot put my finger on it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's from a movie.
[SPEAKER_01]: Grimmlins?
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll think of it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's something weird.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hold on.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, just keep going.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to look it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's so doubt most were their ears.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were elongated and sharply pointed, resembling that of elephant features, far larger than any human anatomy would allow.
[SPEAKER_02]: The witness froze motionously.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then rushed from the bathroom into the liver.
[SPEAKER_02]: The space was empty.
[SPEAKER_02]: The playpad was undisturbed.
[SPEAKER_02]: There were no sounds, no movements, no indication that anything had been there at all.
[SPEAKER_02]: She gathers her child and returned to the bedroom, unable to rationalize what she had seen.
[SPEAKER_02]: The images lingered and distinctly clarity.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was not a face in the shadows or it was not a face in the shadows nor a trigger like it was structured or prohorsial and deliberate.
[SPEAKER_02]: The following morning, her son developed cold symptoms, explaining his restlessness, but the explanation did not relieve her dread.
[SPEAKER_02]: Days later, the fear of Maine, she described the entity as resembling that of a large goblin, with an oversized head, but I'm safely non-human appearance.
[SPEAKER_02]: This encounter left her questioning whether to ignore the event or prepare for its return.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, well, I would be prepared for its return.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would be have like some kind of I'd get the judge public defender And that's what I carry on the house.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you think it's something you could shoot I'd make me feel better.
[SPEAKER_01]: I have very enough.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would I would have like some kind of period a fair day cage like a
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, what did it like a live trap, you know, like for raccoons.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to just, yeah, go on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_01]: That just a fairytale, basically one of them, but, you know, wrapped in copper mash and you know, have a couple of jumper cables attached to it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was, I made jokes about this before with when we did fairied stuff about catcherman butterfly net because like in fairly odd parrots, the lore is that a butterfly net can catch anything with wings with bug wings.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, it's about the intentions of the thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to rabble a whole couple of nights ago with some NATO American stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: And one of these tribes basically says the same thing about a cast net.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can catch these lesser demons and weird woodland monsters and stuff like that with a cast net.
[SPEAKER_02]: because it's made to catch the like it's it's the symbolism is it like in the thing similar to like a dream catcher catch in the bad dreams maybe I think it's just because it is a net it's just a fish net yeah yeah but it's it's the intentions of the thing but in that what a dream catcher seems yeah it's like in the shape of a net yes that was things and it's literally it's not actually catching your dreams obviously but it's the intention it's not supposed to catch dreams it doesn't I thought it's supposed to catch spirits I thought it
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I was learning growing up, but I guess I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's I just there was a six year old me spirit trap to I just seen that in an end of egotction.
[SPEAKER_02]: What like that from a no, it's literally a square picture frame a wooden square picture frame.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but imagine three square picture frames on top of each other.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, if you ever see one of those was a called spirit traps from like the 17 to 18 hundreds of goodness, okay, and they would hang them up in their house to catch spirits traveling through their houses.
[SPEAKER_01]: and someone caught one, they're selling it on the anti-groge show.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, they just have this trap.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like hairstyles.
[SPEAKER_01]: This demon is from 1732.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been stuck to 1732.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, shrieks.
[SPEAKER_02]: On the thing, wow, I didn't really think it would be worth that.
[SPEAKER_02]: He really hates it when you tap on the glass.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was on the on UHF.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me be.
[SPEAKER_01]: Raul's wild kingdom.
[SPEAKER_01]: He has, uh, he's like teaching about animals.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he has his pets and his apartment.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he, uh, he has an ant farm and goes look at this ant farm.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they spent all their time all day spilling these intricate, you know, tunnels and to help feed and protect the queen.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he looks at the camera goes, oh, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: They really hate it when you do this.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he grabs it and shakes the crap out of it and says that, oh, they're really mad now.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the spirit trap.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, every time you walk past you just pick it off the wall and shake it and that's Just hits and like it counts it around in there froze up like yeah, eyes all bug it out I think that's what you get yeah, you get you drop out and scared me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the moment that thing falls on the one breaks You just gonna run away or it just comes right for you
[SPEAKER_02]: The second encounter was a rural home of approximately 1,10.
[SPEAKER_02]: The second witness was a wake around 2am, studying alone in the house.
[SPEAKER_02]: A large Roman rot-weiler weighing approximately 160 pounds rested beside him on the bed.
[SPEAKER_02]: The dog was highly trained common experience of wildlife, bears frequently wandered nearby.
[SPEAKER_02]: The dog's reaction to threats was measured in the troll, but that morning the dog began to whimper.
[SPEAKER_02]: This behavior was supposedly rare, though it is recalled only two other times that he had
[SPEAKER_02]: One is when a venomous snake had bit the dog and once during their approaching tornado.
[SPEAKER_02]: Intetional dismet are intentionally dismissed the reaction, which is a tip to call in the animal.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then the dog exploded in the action.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know where this goes, but it'd just be great that your dog grabs and got much of a shake in it.
[SPEAKER_02]: A shadow, like, or it just grabs it out of the dark.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it'd be like, when my friend's neighbor, the dog, there was, you know, like the kitchen counter.
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, there's like, you know, drawers on the corner.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the bottom drawer was missing.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, oh, and I finally asked her.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, why is in this kind of sketchy neighborhood?
[SPEAKER_01]: Why is that bottom drawer missing?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the dog went and blew and under there and was kept digging around under there.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I took the drawer out and then she went up in there and then pulled out a possum on the, oh, okay, I am an hardened county.
[SPEAKER_02]: The dog spoke to the action.
[SPEAKER_02]: It leapt upright teeth bearing grounding with deep gutteral sounds.
[SPEAKER_02]: The witness had never heard before.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hackles were raised in the folks was locked on the bedroom door.
[SPEAKER_02]: The witness followed the dog's gaze.
[SPEAKER_02]: Standing in the doorway was a small humanoid figure approximately three feet tall With that pointed nose in a long-gated ears the eyes were extremely bloodshot the pupils were so dilated They appear to be dark voids the hair was long matted in filthy the skin beneath the grime was olive tone poor thing Just like I have a shower.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what it wanted to say I've been walking for I've been walking for 80 miles to me is like a million.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_02]: The limbs were unnaturally proportioned.
[SPEAKER_02]: The arms and hands had feet where he elongated.
[SPEAKER_02]: It appeared to be wearing a hooded garment resembling a poncho, tattered and caked with mud.
[SPEAKER_02]: See?
[SPEAKER_02]: Literally just as like, been walking through fields.
[SPEAKER_01]: The wanderer, like it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not going on the door.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can I have a glass of water?
[SPEAKER_02]: Please.
[SPEAKER_02]: The witness could not move.
[SPEAKER_02]: As he stared, the entities thick limbs curled upwards into a deliberate smirk.
[SPEAKER_02]: Our sorry, thick lips.
[SPEAKER_02]: Curled up into a deliberate smirk.
[SPEAKER_02]: then the smile widened revealing sharp pointed teeth all predator the oppression or the impression was air the expression was intentional a display yeah you shoot that thing right well i will say smiling like that bearing teeth in nature uh generally i mean there's many meetings but the dog going nuts to be devil advocate for the little goblin man could be like trying to ward off the dog like don't eat me i can bite back okay
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe?
[SPEAKER_02]: The dog continued growling violently, the witness buried his face into the animal's neck frozen by fear.
[SPEAKER_02]: Roughly ten minutes passed and science returned when he looked again the door was empty.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he buried his own face in the dogs.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he was so scared.
[SPEAKER_02]: He just went like, like, dog protect me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Dang.
[SPEAKER_02]: He secured the dog and moved through the house, checking doors and windows.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, now he's looking for it.
[SPEAKER_01]: The front door.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you could say it was just like that overwhelming fear, like psychological stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, but he had an opportunity to write thin in there and shoot it right in the face.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think he's also not very old at this time, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, at least could have kicked it.
[SPEAKER_02]: The front door was wide open as if somebody had came in.
[SPEAKER_02]: For weeks afterwards, the dog slept draped across the witnesses' body as if guarding him.
[SPEAKER_02]: The animal refused to allow closed doors between them and followed him constantly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Behavior eventually subsided, but the memory never did.
[SPEAKER_02]: years later, the way they stated that thinking about the encounter still fills him with extreme dread.
[SPEAKER_02]: He has threatened that he had been awake.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was not a human and he did not imagine it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's a little green man.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I will say so far scary.
[SPEAKER_02]: Very, very scary encounters.
[SPEAKER_02]: Didn't do anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, other than intimidate, I guess, but was that purposeful or is it just an appearance thing right it's just a byproduct of them being just like like he's caked in mud He's filthy and he literally is just like when we get to some of the folklore too, I think some of this will make a little more sense Because it really this that one reminds me of nisses Okay, that word again.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's just it's a it's a creature.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I honest is a creature.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, it's a little goblin man, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, how?
[SPEAKER_01]: Could be.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I have another one for you from Phantom and Monsters.
[SPEAKER_01]: This one is, it could be like Calico cats and they're 99.9% all female.
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: And a police valley goblin encounter near bloody creek Nova Scotia.
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, around, 2010.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nova Scotia Woods Explorer says he went looking for old Accadinian history along Bloody Creek in the in-applusive alley.
[SPEAKER_02]: Accadinian.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, it's a native American group.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've heard it so before.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know idea of academia and I think it's how it's said, but I may be wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: The people will let me know.
[SPEAKER_01]: Believe me.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure they will.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know who you are.
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't answer emails because of you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I know who they are.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I just people that comment like, oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: History said this word wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to the show.
[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome to season nine.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mr. E. Ms. Prodouses.
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you have dyslexia?
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You want some?
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's in the valley, instead found himself stalked by something far stranger.
[SPEAKER_02]: But began as splashes, chirps, and eyes shine in the dark, turned into a ledge confrontation with multiple tiny humanoids carrying sharpened sticks.
[SPEAKER_02]: The details pushed the report beyond a routine wildlife scare.
[SPEAKER_02]: What makes the account matter even more is the setting.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it creaks already loaded with history, isolation,
[SPEAKER_02]: The wilderness described the are the witness prescribed behaviors that feel organized territorial and intelligent.
[SPEAKER_02]: A combination with the accident, what keeps reports like this from me dismissed too quickly.
[SPEAKER_02]: For years, so this is the witness I had wrote in.
[SPEAKER_02]: For years, I explored the woods, valleys, caves, and old historical places of Nova Scotia.
[SPEAKER_02]: I always went looking for mystery, history, and adventure, but I used to brush off the little strange stories I heard.
[SPEAKER_02]: I figured most of them came from old, local talk, exaggerated over time.
[SPEAKER_02]: The change when I started spending more and more time alone in the woods.
[SPEAKER_02]: Back around 2010, when I was about 30, I became interested in the old stories about academia and versus reported bound in caves along the bloody creek in the 1980s.
[SPEAKER_02]: Supposedly, it had later been shown at the world's fair.
[SPEAKER_02]: An academia in base, sorry, I don't know what that is.
[SPEAKER_02]: So they found an old base supposedly in a cave along the bloody creek.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they showed at the old world's fair.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... which is that disproved clove's culture i'm kidding that was enough to send me into the upper reaches of the creek near the mountains searching both banks caves crevices branding a look promising i follow the water past gravel pits that have been corded for granite gravel and further up towards the mountain where the mains old power dams from the night or from the 1890s that went supply electricity to paradise
[SPEAKER_02]: It was September, one evening, I crossed a creek and search of areas that I had a past before.
[SPEAKER_02]: The problem was the sun was dropping faster than I expected.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got caught off, I'd nothing, but a, or with nothing, but a worth of little keychain like the barely illuminated the ground in front of my boots.
[SPEAKER_02]: On the way back, I kept hearing what sounded like birds in the brook, but I couldn't see anything.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just got this tiny little light that's
[SPEAKER_01]: You know you got a tiny little like candle like oh yeah, all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're good birds start circling you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel safe I wrote it off as my nerves the next evening.
[SPEAKER_02]: I returned with a better headlamp while heading back out I saw eyes reflecting silver behind a rock It's your sing color never I mean true silver.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've never heard of any animals.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm reflecting true silver Whether the witness is
[SPEAKER_02]: not actual eye shine in just like the light reflection, yeah, which is a little different because they don't lose to pregnant.
[SPEAKER_02]: They bobbed up and down as if some small was peaking over the edge of the rocks.
[SPEAKER_02]: I assumed to have some sort of animal with young nearby coming down to drink.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I cut away the brush to avoid destroying them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: After that, I brought an even stronger flashlight.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now I imagine one of those like where it makes it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, where it lights up everything
[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, just kills these little things instantly.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the tree's fine.
[SPEAKER_01]: Explode?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Stronger flashlight.
[SPEAKER_02]: One powerful enough to let me search property our properly after 830 pm sundum.
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be my four-time staying out after dark.
[SPEAKER_02]: Roughly two weeks after the first key chain light walk.
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, I started hearing splashes in the creek and seemed to follow me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Every time I turned to look, the splashing stopped.
[SPEAKER_02]: This time, there were other sounds too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bird-like chirps, crow-click frogs, and even the same silver eyes raising and dimpling behind boulders.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: The strangest thing happened with the final stretch between the creek and the little slope that led to the road where my car was parked.
[SPEAKER_02]: I hit gone down about half way when I realized everything had gone dead quiet.
[SPEAKER_02]: A great sign.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, all right, you added that to this.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was going to say.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's not a great time, by the way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I remember in the woods alone in the woods goes quiet.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything's going to be okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let's give.
[SPEAKER_01]: How about tell them the truth?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, panic.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to do any good.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm not saying that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying you're about to die.
[SPEAKER_01]: If everything goes quiet.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I was pray and just be happy.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not that you're about to die.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just just enjoy.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just green inferno's about to start be aware of the quietness.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's about how much it sucks to be injured at dying in the rainforest.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, it sounds terrible.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like drowning.
[SPEAKER_02]: now it's much worse.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know because it takes days and animals are slowly eating you alive and the heat and the moisture and you're slowly rotting as insects and then some larger things start ripping you apart.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd rather drown.
[SPEAKER_01]: There might be a moment of hallucination that might be like, whoa, it's pretty much the movie.
[SPEAKER_01]: I see the meaning of life in this.
[SPEAKER_01]: watch the movie then you tell me life as death.
[SPEAKER_02]: There was no breeze even the creeks sounded muffled as if something had thrown a giant blanket over the whole woods.
[SPEAKER_02]: I turn around and check my flashlight on full power.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's when I saw the first one clearly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, a dover demon shoots out peeking from behind the tree was around face maybe 16 inches high from what I could judge with an
[SPEAKER_02]: The face ducked behind the tree the second to beam hit it, then took off to my right near a fallen log.
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw another one standing fully exposed.
[SPEAKER_02]: They look like tiny humanoids about 18 inches tall, dark skinned, wierry and muscular.
[SPEAKER_02]: Along, white, brown, and gray hair coming off their rounded heads that hung along their backs all the way down to their knees.
[SPEAKER_02]: And at a huge
[SPEAKER_01]: So they were just in the new.
[SPEAKER_02]: It looked like hair that covered its shoulders, but it looked like also hair had covered their shoulders, but their back was turned to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a little shoulder pads.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then it croaked.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got frog.
[SPEAKER_02]: The sound squeezed snapped me out of my freeze.
[SPEAKER_02]: Once I really looked, I realized there were several more of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe half a dozen at all, peeking from around rocks and trees and moving slowly towards me.
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're checking him out or he's about to be lunch most appear to be carrying spears sharp and sticks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that was mentioned earlier too, so I spun around and saw another one behind me near the base of the slope, also holding a sharp stick.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, yeah, you're in there living room, but he was also leaving.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, don't you want to sit in the mess?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like feast feast, feast, don't come back.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was enough for me, and I ran.
[SPEAKER_02]: I pulled it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's 16 inches tall.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, but when there's a lot of them, I know it's like the horse size ducks and the duck size horse, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take the duck size, anything versus a horse size, anything.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's still enough of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why, because you know what, I'm gonna be a mammoth.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm at least taking several of them out with me.
[SPEAKER_01]: You could just do like that the kid doesn't hook that we're the bang rang where he rolls into a ball and just rolls down the stairs at him.
[SPEAKER_02]: I pulled it up the slope of the road as fast as I could when I looked back, they were already slipping back into cover.
[SPEAKER_02]: What struck me even in my panic was how quickly they blended into their surroundings.
[SPEAKER_02]: Their colors broke them up against the brush, the tree branch, the stones, almost like they had vanished that moment they stopped moving.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're saying it looked like they disparate, but they were still there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they blended so well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not that they were actually transparent.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but they're that camouflage.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're chamo, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're one with nature.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it looked back.
[SPEAKER_02]: I noticed something under the spruce tree was a large mesh onion bag stuff with vegetables package candies chocolate spam cheese and baggies some of them still mostly frozen like I had or some of it's still mostly frozen like I've been left out for a reason and expected to last okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: They find an onion sack full of food.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's full of goodies.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like from the grocery store.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Where they steal it?
[SPEAKER_01]: Or is it his?
[SPEAKER_02]: I do not know what I saw that night.
[SPEAKER_02]: When I came, when I came away with a sick feeling, whoever whatever those things were, the food was not random.
[SPEAKER_02]: In that moment, I felt that I would had water into a place where I was not meant to be.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then if I had not ran away when I did, I would have ended up being dragged into a cold hole in the earth.
[SPEAKER_02]: Their heads reminded me of the creatures from where the wild things are, only more real and far uglier, round silver eyes that never blinked, extremely wide mouths with very thick lips, small upturn noses, their bodies apart from their heavy hair, were close to human proportions, almost like tiny adults.
[SPEAKER_02]: I went home shaken and spent the rest of the night wondering whether I had lost my mind.
[SPEAKER_02]: When I came back in the daylight from another direction near the highway 101 crossing the creek, as I moved through the trees towards the general area, I realized I was walking through a field of, hmm, I don't know, bones.
[SPEAKER_02]: Those were the mains of deer and other small animals scattered around.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, at first it looked like Roadkill had been dragged off the highway.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it looked more closely, it was less natural, it seemed.
[SPEAKER_02]: Many bones were chewed on, broken open and splintered as if being smashed with rocks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some looked sucked clean.
[SPEAKER_02]: There were also marks on porcupine bones, look too small and too human-like to ignore.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so it's these guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cars don't do that carnivores do.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did go back again after that, but never alone.
[SPEAKER_02]: I made sure I was armed with a machete.
[SPEAKER_02]: But then I had begun to suspect that someone may have been feeding these things, maybe keeping them in one place, maybe keeping them quiet, maybe to keep people away.
[SPEAKER_02]: I learned later that such a possibility is not far fetched as it sounds.
[SPEAKER_02]: Things go do bump in the night.
[SPEAKER_02]: They also watch you in the broad daylight.
[SPEAKER_02]: it's true.
[SPEAKER_02]: So in many cultures, which we'll talk about, offerings for goblins is highly, highly popularized, popularized, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: Many many cultures leave food, stuffs out for goblins, whether you keep the piece or to have them guard areas, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: So, both things happen with house goblins and like little goblins like this, same situation, kind of.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, the little onion sack was the offering bag, which I think, I think he was right, whether they were stealing stuff from campsites, maybe I don't know, or literally somebody comes by and wants them to watch something or keep everybody out.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think gives them an offering gives them a little bag of just goodies because in all the stories none of the goblin offerings are anything great like they're not you're not giving them gold and like a ruby diamond from that but they love they love like cheese they love like they love like cured meat the yogurt I believe Dunkaroos gummy pea trunks a goblin will hang you for a Dunkaroe
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm, Goblin Law.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I have more encounters, but maybe we'll, to use some folklore now, and this, it looks like it's going to be maybe a two-parter.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, should we, uh, maybe this is a good time to, uh, get a little add-in.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: If we had a button still.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_01]: Pick this two one.
[SPEAKER_01]: We haven't done it in a while.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you want an actual ad.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, gosh.
[SPEAKER_02]: I wasn't ready.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You ready?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, so, uh, Jay, uh, maybe hooked up a cable to Bob the giant mushroom and maybe plugged it into my brain and I was getting a very strong message.
[SPEAKER_02]: What did he say?
[SPEAKER_02]: He said, flavors of the forest is coming out with a new flavor, a new flavor, lion's main mushroom, the ultimate thing to melt mushroom in the human brain together.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, it's coming.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bob the giant mushroom was telling me, and everybody has to try this new flavor.
[SPEAKER_02]: Flavors of the Force, Bigfoot Breath, Lions Main.
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is something I can, another food addition and a answer, I can add to my food.
[SPEAKER_02]: Lions Main, the super food.
[SPEAKER_02]: The reproductive organ of the Lions Main Mushroom coming to flavors of the forest.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where can they be on the lookout for these new additions?
[SPEAKER_01]: you can find this new additional flavor at flavor spores dot com forward slash corn be on the lookout for Bob and his kid dang i still don't that flavors available i i i i just use it your last night and still is just
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, I think this will be a two part because we'll come back.
[SPEAKER_02]: I still have like five six or even eight more encounters.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay for lower and legends and folklore adding to it.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, I'm talking about just encounters.
[SPEAKER_02]: Modern encounters with goblins.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, modern egg.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now I'm going to hop into some folklore though.
[SPEAKER_02]: First first kind of goblins.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to talk about brownies.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay brownies brownies like like the elf.
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: From Cleveland Browns, in that his name?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it is his name.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and he's not an elf.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is it Goblin?
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a Brownie.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a Brownie, Goblin?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's a house Goblin.
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think people call me elf, but he's a Brownie's a house Goblin.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they do call, I think they do call them the elf or an elf or something.
[SPEAKER_01]: But all right, now I did true intentions.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're either fairy's goblins or house spirits.
[SPEAKER_02]: And about elves.
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe that's the reason why I see that he's hiding in plain sight.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why they always stink every year because he's stealing their power to other names for his brooney risk for not a hide oozing and Greenwich.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let's go with Brownie
[SPEAKER_02]: Brownie, a brownie or a brooney for the scots.
[SPEAKER_02]: Also known as all those other names are just said in Scottish Gaelic, is a household spirit or a Hobgoblin of Scottish folklore.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is said to come out at night while the owners of the house are asleep and perform various chores and farming tasks.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hobgoblin with the Goblin.
[SPEAKER_02]: the human owners of the house must leave a bowl of milk or cream or some other food offering out for the brownie.
[SPEAKER_02]: Used by a heart, usually by a heart.
[SPEAKER_02]: Brownies had already described as easily offended and will leave their homes forever if they feel like they've been insulted or taken advantage of.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they feel like they're getting a roll into the stick.
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll just leave.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's how you get rid of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you don't, Brownie is technically, you don't want to get rid of them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you don't.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're the good ones.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just read that they come out and they clean and they do harm farm chores and they make stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I was waiting for the other side of the coin.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, they just do things for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: And well, that's nice then.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but they're easily offended.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was still waiting now.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's like, yeah, they do all this great stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, yeah, at nighttime, they just, they suck the blood out of your body slowly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Brownies are dangerous by being very malicious.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're often said to punish and pull pranks on very lazy servants.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: So someone's not pulling their weight.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to, they trick you, or make you know,
[SPEAKER_02]: or maybe you know I think no they don't do that there's tricks you know the leave a banana peel on the ground on your daily path I don't know brownies originated as domestic totally experienced very similar to the laris of ancient Rome tradition depictions of brownies are very very very regularly but they are said to usually describe as very ugly brown or black skin creatures covered in hair everywhere okay but they get the stories we already read
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, all of skin black skin and brown skin hair shoulders.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, no, the one guy said all the down to the hair down to their knees, matted hair like all the stories they made either really long hair.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, matted hair like they've been hairy little things.
[SPEAKER_02]: So already they sound very similar to brownies.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and brownies play pranks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't now I was joking about hurting people.
[SPEAKER_02]: But they will they will they punish lazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they consider to be laziness.
[SPEAKER_02]: They do like the pull pranks and you can offend them by doing nothing There's got for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, like they'll destroy like the destroy a room like poltergeist style activities.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, really like knock stuff off shelves and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... bransket covered in hair in older stories they used to be human sized or larger but in the last thousand years they're pretty much small and all described as tiny but they used to be normal yeah before that you should be described as even being larger than people that's true but that happened a lot of faiths even trolls app with trolls and stuff like that yeah because magic in the world was shrinking so as it are they
[SPEAKER_02]: They were often capable of turning invisible, and they'd sometimes appear in the shape of various animals.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were always either naked or dressed in the lip or, I know, that's not what they were.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're lapidated, they're lapidated clothes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?
[SPEAKER_02]: Once again, think of the stories.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Racks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: When the ones are either naked or they're covered in racks.
[SPEAKER_02]: So already sounding very, very brownie-esque.
[SPEAKER_02]: But a person attempts to present a brownie with clothing or baptize it, it will leave forever.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, offended, even a baptizing, if you try to baptize them, they will not.
[SPEAKER_02]: They will not like it.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, they boil.
[SPEAKER_02]: Regional variants in England, Scotland and Kood Hobbes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oursings.
[SPEAKER_02]: Variations outside of England, Scotland and Welsh.
[SPEAKER_02]: But what Chuck?
[SPEAKER_02]: In Marykson.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ben O'Baries.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're all brownies.
[SPEAKER_02]: Brownies are also up here outside of folklore, including John Milton's poem, La Gora.
[SPEAKER_02]: They became very popular in children's artwork literature in the late 19th century and came to appear in works in modern fantasy.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Brownies, in the girls' guides, are named after a short story by Julia Ewing based on Brownie folklore.
[SPEAKER_02]: Any questions about Brownies?
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Brownies and layers are both regarded as solitary and devoted to servants of members of the household.
[SPEAKER_02]: Both are said to be hairy, just in rags.
[SPEAKER_02]: Both are said to demand food offerings are daring offerings.
[SPEAKER_02]: So keep mine go back to the what was in the guy's thing, the chocolate cheese and the onion sack.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Chocolate cheese and me.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what Brownies and Lerys want.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Lerys, Brownies are associated with the dead.
[SPEAKER_02]: and brownies are sometimes described as being ghost of deceased servants who worked in the home.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there you go, after you die as a servant, you get a stay in a servant.
[SPEAKER_02]: What a wonderful life.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Claude Ladd of Hulten, for instance, was reputed to be a ghost of a stable boy who was murdered by one of the lords of Hulten Castle.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so a little ghost boy is living there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well,
[SPEAKER_02]: he was murdered by one of the lords in a fit of passion.
[SPEAKER_02]: Gross.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, everybody fair that out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your own time, not great.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, not great.
[SPEAKER_01]: And what if passion was like another name for anger?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just help you out.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's what you think.
[SPEAKER_02]: Those who hurt, those who saw them described him as being a naked little boy.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was also said to clean up everything that was untidy and make messes of things that were tidy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, she can't win with him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he's a little boy that was martyred.
[SPEAKER_02]: Orbly.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not happy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Manali's the many hooney of Hawaiian folklore have also been compared to brownies.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was going to bring them up seen as portraying as being a race of very tiny dwarf people who carry out work during the night time only, also being covered in hair and being dark skinned.
[SPEAKER_01]: Correct.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now that you mentioned them, there was another group of people I wasn't kind of mentioned.
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's names shall not be named?
[SPEAKER_02]: That's supposed to say the names.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just don't remember which one we're talking about.
[SPEAKER_01]: The little creatures that don't say the name.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they come up, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, not those ones.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not the spirit ones, the bad demon ones.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no, the box.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, the one's puck wedges.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, because we have all sections on top of wedges.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was the punk wedgie.
[SPEAKER_02]: In Japanese folklore, there are several Yokei that are extremely similar to Brownie folklore.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, are you about to say I'm now?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
[SPEAKER_02]: or chop a roorica.
[SPEAKER_01]: Chop a roorica.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that also Japanese?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I think there may be some.
[SPEAKER_02]: They are usually described as being tiny hairy children.
[SPEAKER_01]: Fair.
[SPEAKER_02]: But they do the same thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: They tidy up.
[SPEAKER_02]: They want food offerings that kind of stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's one of these things where you start seeing this similar folklore across the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: It would kind of be cool to have on these at your house.
[SPEAKER_02]: of the family cult of deceased ancestors and ancient times centered around a hearth which later became a place where offerings would be left out for brownies.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to hearth is not for sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't fire a place.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's worth.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the old big fireplaces.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a hearth.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: the most significant difference between brownies and and layers while layers are permanently bound to a house which they live brownies are more mobile and can leave and move into other houses if they become dissatisfied.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so the money one at the very beginning, the very first story was a dissatisfied brownie on to looking for a new home.
[SPEAKER_01]: So when he found the new home he smiled at the guy and the guy I'm happy to be here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, slam the door in its face.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been me, dude.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ha ha, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
[SPEAKER_02]: The, the brownie, him too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Brownies that you see are almost always male.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are female brownies, but they never come out of hiding.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are encounters with them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the hairy mag, mag is one that has been seen and talked to.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh.
[SPEAKER_01]: Are they like squunks?
[SPEAKER_01]: They just don't want to be seen.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, they're just ugly.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're just, they're just, they're there.
[SPEAKER_01]: What if the male goblins are like, don't let anyone see you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you know, if you want to guess how they got their name,
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... brownie they were stealing brownies from people they have brown skin okay there enough brownie what's simple that's i mean i think they're often characterizes as being short and rotund and being heavily muscular nice and even uh... mid-17th century Scottish people started just calling them the devils well that's kind of a negative name
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't, it's not like we've kind of talked about the devil versus from the Bible.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the devil from the Bible.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but how before devils used to just mean spirits.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, yeah, you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it was Lucifer morning star, the morning star is Satan.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the same person.
[SPEAKER_02]: Devils were spirits were malicious intent.
[SPEAKER_01]: Gotcha.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the devil became like just associated with the devil.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you look back on some historic texts, like they're talking about devils, stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you got your Daredevil fishing lure spins, love them.
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go, classic candy stripe, two Scottish witchcraft confessionals, one by Thomas Shanks in 1649, another by Margaret Colm in 1680, both described meeting with a thick little man.
[SPEAKER_02]: The man was described by many as being convinced that they were talking to a brownie.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the big deal?
[SPEAKER_01]: It just pops up out of this fire.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there's, I'm literally, there's dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of these.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you, did you touch on the, the, the puck?
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, he's coming up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, well, I mean, do you want me to do puck wedges now or you want me to do my other ones?
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, they seem to fit the bill for some of these, though.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, so I can hop out of European ones if you want.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, no, that's more Irish now to you making me hop faster.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you don't have to have if you don't want to.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, what is this?
[SPEAKER_01]: They all originate in like Europe or UK or, you know, is that where the folklore originated?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, that's where the Browning where by just told you there was African ones, there's Japanese ones,
[SPEAKER_02]: The, the, the, the horrible humans has that brownies.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just a Scottish word.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, got you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: So these are the other things fitting that same.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Gotcha.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: More house goblin stuff because this kind of a more breakdown.
[SPEAKER_02]: They believe in house spirits predates recorded history.
[SPEAKER_02]: Traditions where aspects of natural world, including homes, positions of a spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Basically your home itself has a spirit.
[SPEAKER_02]: like the building destruction structure after you build a home it gains a spirit or a soul and that is the little the house goblin you see is itself.
[SPEAKER_02]: I should meet one of these.
[SPEAKER_02]: Early depictions of house goblins and trying them with agricultural practices as well where protect the harvest.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're to appease these spirits where there's often spoiled crops, sick and dead livestock and drum is fortunate within a household.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if it's just in the the type of construction
[SPEAKER_01]: uh, creates a spirit or so on.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you give the house life and then it becomes life.
[SPEAKER_01]: See, now all the modern houses are built squares, you know, hard edges.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just void of life.
[SPEAKER_02]: In German, they're called cobalts, cobalts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now it's funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: You just said the modern house thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hold on to that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which of these are German little creatures they keep your house clean avoid wastefulness Offer them small gifts They don't like it when you like throw extra food away that kind of stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay They're malicious spirits So share with minds and homes can be helpful of treat it well and extremely destructive of anger Okay, and Scandinavian it's nissa okay
[SPEAKER_02]: Protectors of farms and homes and habitants, they dress from additional farmer clothings, can be extremely, can cause a lot of trouble if neglected.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, this is our described, it's being like, all hairy, like you can't even see their faces from being so hairy.
[SPEAKER_02]: They live in the spaces in between spaces in your house.
[SPEAKER_01]: In the walls.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, like, behind the space between the bookshelf and the wall.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Unused space.
[SPEAKER_01]: Gotcha, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: but they still things that they think you left out for them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you can actually, and this, that you could actually cast out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay, cause there, they are sometimes malicious, it says.
[SPEAKER_02]: If they, yeah, they want a bowl of porridge with butter.
[SPEAKER_01]: They want what?
[SPEAKER_02]: A bowl of porridge with butter.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: They hate the mistreatment of animals, and they are highly respective of traditions.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is all have names, too.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Compto.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everyness is named Tomto.
[SPEAKER_01]: Tomto?
[SPEAKER_02]: Tomto?
[SPEAKER_01]: Tomto?
[SPEAKER_01]: Not like the.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wouldn't Tomto uh.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, a Native American or some like story.
[SPEAKER_02]: Salvox are called Dolmovies.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Regardless of how often described as small extremely hairy men, it can be helpful or malicious depending on their treatment.
[SPEAKER_01]: What if these are just physical representations of, uh, uh,
[SPEAKER_01]: let's just see here like how can I describe this correctly physical representations of mental necessities that we need in our minds to stay sane or stay level headed.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know I mean they could be to me these are
[SPEAKER_02]: byproducts, I mean, they're just byproducts of human existence.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know, like, you're in your home and you, you don't, let's say the little guy does get mad because it's not, I mean, what if it's not the little guy get mean, but it's like your subconscious, like, get angry and then you're all flustered, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: What if these are all physical representations of our subconscious?
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, funny thing, you said a minute ago, the new houses.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: believing in house goblins and this is whatever you want to call berries all of it was common until the industrial revolution uh-huh interesting and the rays of they say the rays of scientific rationalism led to the decline in these traditional beliefs
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... i think that they just couldn't live in our house anymore well i think electricity is talking to them i think they could talk to them there could be that but i think they're on to something there were uh... we were lie on rather than uh... human mind in the human spirit believing in the magic of the world in the world really is magic that were
[SPEAKER_01]: More or less, recreating our mind and recreating our thoughts through the filter of technology, where we need this technology to create magic and to create this special things to happen abilities.
[SPEAKER_01]: When in reality, our own minds can't create anything that we believe in, the point is believing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I go the other way where I think it is, we basically built structures that ward them off.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what goes to climb all of that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we could be seeing the same exact thing, but just in different ways.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, we're saying it's because the belief in them has faded.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm saying it is, there is a basically, we've turned our houses to Faraday cages.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and I believe that, you're correct, but what I'm saying is with that, the result of that.
[SPEAKER_01]: of the fair day cage house now, um, uh, basically eliminates for the exposure to the belief and magic.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: So the advancement of technology and living in these homes by design, whatever, whoever's controlling things, you know, or way of life now.
[SPEAKER_01]: By design is getting rid of the idea even for the magic to exist in the first place because you can't even stumble across it now because we're keeping these cages up basically that prevents these things from inhabiting and existing now you can you can physically believe it to exist in your own home because it just can't physically be there even with all your belief maybe you can get a lens of glimpse of it that's what the glimmer man is There you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what the glimmer man is
[SPEAKER_01]: Just on the existence of reality in a modern home, that's why out in the woods, it's the, it's the, it's the flannel man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now with the puck wedges.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of these if you notice these stories, some of them are still in homes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of the, which I have more stories, which we may just make this along the episode.
[SPEAKER_02]: The ones that are outside, always seem to be naked, they seem to be much more wild.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I wonder, so like the puck wedges is lost tribe.
[SPEAKER_02]: They literally look like this.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're described as being covered in for a brown skin.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Spear caring, the lost tribe.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're the same thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's a global thing, a global population of these tiny brownies or whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the ones that, I don't think they live in houses anymore.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're very rarely live in houses anymore.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think the ones you are experiencing outside.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I kind of really want or if, I mean, we've talked about it with like, I wonder who knows about them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like government lies or organization lies.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, and if these are in national force and stuff like that, and people still are appeasing them.
[SPEAKER_02]: If there's literally a park rangers job is once a week take a or an onion sack.
[SPEAKER_02]: Full of candy sausages and cheese.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just drop it off by this tree.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and that's all he knows shoot or that or whatever season like yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: or that or we're air drop in them in.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, here we go.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm talking about for the last 150 years.
[SPEAKER_01]: What if two what if they the house goblins?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like what if what if there was a split?
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's say they are all the puck wedges.
[SPEAKER_01]: I figured if I gave it enough space, you know, it doesn't count.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what if
[SPEAKER_01]: at some point, humanity was able to like domesticate them, you know, bring them from the wilds to in the homes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there is a split.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now that like between them, they're like, no, we got to stay wild and free.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how we were intended to live.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the other one's like, yeah, but this pretty nice, like we just got to do a little clean.
[SPEAKER_01]: They give us all the free stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're like, easy living.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you domesticated a group of them.
[SPEAKER_01]: and then there's the wild one still.
[SPEAKER_01]: So now there's a split between the two.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now that ones that are reproduced in the homes, one is staying in the homes.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like a house, like when you bring a dog, you raise it inside your house and now it doesn't want to go outside anymore.
[SPEAKER_01]: It wants to stay indoors.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the ones that are outside are like wild and free and like crazy and like, you know, the way they're supposed to be.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's now you got two separate ones that just don't want to let go of like the human life but they still get, they still have their wild tendencies where like, well, I don't like this.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just gonna go to the next house.
[SPEAKER_01]: instead of actually living out in the woods where they're supposed to.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like that could be going on here.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but.
[SPEAKER_02]: Huh?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but can't disprove it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're more like cats.
[SPEAKER_01]: What's that mean?
[SPEAKER_02]: Selectively like self domesticated and then they can leave whatever they want.
[SPEAKER_01]: see there's so many I mean I didn't get into it by can there's so much of the folklore why did they just leave right they leave but they probably go into a new house no i'm going to the woods we don't know that we don't know what happens of them yes there's thousands of your folklore about it people follow them with the notebook and track the aloeid ever on that there's thousands of your of the traditions yeah they're running into the ones i already live out there
[SPEAKER_01]: You got it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Once, once in the home, always wanting to be in the home.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's very rarely did they go back out to the woods.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not to not.
[SPEAKER_02]: You are making that up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not in modern age times.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, they're all dead.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's because we're so reliant on technology now.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we're all separated from nature humanity as are these goblins, the brownies.
[SPEAKER_01]: Facts.
[SPEAKER_01]: If it's just you and us in this room and one of us believes it, it's automatically a fact.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's a short one percent.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, dang it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the meditating big foot over there believes in me.
[SPEAKER_02]: What?
[SPEAKER_01]: The meditating big foot.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, meditating.
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought you said like, betting tin and I'm like, what are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_02]: betting tin, patting tin big foot.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I heard.
[SPEAKER_01]: But, I mean, no, I mean, I really think, let's go back to some encounters with someone at home, agrees with me, if you do comment, let us know that you're like, you know what, that does make sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is right, a teen girl wasn't your dad in Pennsylvania, since she had one night, she encountered several unknown beings sleeping on like, while she's sleeping on a couch, she continues this over experience.
[SPEAKER_02]: When I was in the early teen, I visited my dad in Pennsylvania, which is home to there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say Pennsylvania Dutch.
[SPEAKER_02]: He had gotten remarried and had another child, my baby sister.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyways, I fell asleep in my new grandmother's house downstairs.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just three story house with the basement and an attic, so five floors.
[SPEAKER_02]: Big house.
[SPEAKER_02]: I had no clue where anyone else was.
[SPEAKER_02]: I woke up downstairs on the couch and midnight in utter terror and could not explain why.
[SPEAKER_02]: I felt as if something in the shadows was watching me and I need to get away.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are we gonna upstairs to get in bed with my dad who never woke up?
[SPEAKER_02]: moments pass and I feel something on my leg.
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to look but I couldn't.
[SPEAKER_02]: I must have been paralyzed.
[SPEAKER_02]: It seems like hours pass as slowly as something began to work its way or work my head to the side and I saw one peeking over my father with its hands over its mouth.
[SPEAKER_02]: I received a telepathic message of some kind that he shouldn't be smoking and something might add, happen to him, if he keeps doing it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if it was a threat, but it's childhood memory, so it's very difficult to get specific, put my words in.
[SPEAKER_02]: If I had to describe these little creatures, it would be like the Sarlac, or sorry,
[SPEAKER_01]: And he that he's the little slave to a gosh from from job of the hut and he has little like Oh, he has the latest beat from Yeah, because they're they're at least a semi-sentient in the Galactic Compendium.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, they're like monkeys.
[SPEAKER_01]: Gosh, I thought you didn't like Star Wars.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know you just don't like Star Wars day.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, I'm okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was going to say how did you know I'm like I have the star That might be the nerdy in them might be one of the nerdy things I ever heard you say me But I don't even remember what you said, but I was in all a lot of times brownies specifically all of these They really hate bad habits.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, and they're just scary to look at
[SPEAKER_01]: he is the court gesture of he is scary look at him he is a I mean if he is dark it would die oh it would die he drips years off that would be bad yeah I'm not saying I'm brave enough to know I'd be trying the whole time I'm murdering it right yeah you just have to it's natural instinct like defend yourself
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, but no, this is, again, another one, very, very house L.F.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ask.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Scary, but not purposely scary.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like she said, you felt like a threat, but she wasn't sure because there's a kid brain.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's literally like saying that he needs to stop smoking.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a gross habit.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to hurt him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even in I believe there was a brownie a house elf or house fake in, uh, oh, what was it super natural for one of the old hunter's houses, okay, the clean and cook for them and stuff like that, yeah, she would do she did some crazy stuff just because of those kind of things she hated bad habits, okay, like she hated unnecessary dirtiness and all that, so it just it really does scream like that very skinny with big ears.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, just seems like a brownie.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, fit CMO.
[SPEAKER_02]: Want another one?
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's do one more.
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't just gonna do them all.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just want to.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh wait, how did that slip in here?
[SPEAKER_02]: Had a dogman encounter end up in here?
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's not where it's supposed to be.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is from a young hosh on Reddit.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is this the dogman?
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: Goblin like saying when I was a child.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm running this because, in the count here age ago, I could ask and get some insights, but never thought it or never had the courage.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I'm doing it today because it's heavy on my mind.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like I grew up in an old house in the south, kind of in the middle of nowhere.
[SPEAKER_02]: The house is laid out in a circle.
[SPEAKER_02]: As if you could walk from the living room, through most of the rooms and walk in a complete circle and end up back where you started.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: When I was five, me and my younger sister were chasing each other and circling.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was circles.
[SPEAKER_01]: My mom was cooking.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was in front of her.
[SPEAKER_02]: We were laughing and carrying on.
[SPEAKER_02]: When I got to the dining room, inside corner with a small grain of creature with an extremely dark, cloak kind of thing in tatters.
[SPEAKER_02]: It had an extremely pointy large ears and it stuck out and
[SPEAKER_02]: I was very young and still very small.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd say it was maybe two foot tall, but I'm not sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: It looked kind of like it had been in the bottom of a pond or something.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a very, very old and extremely tattered.
[SPEAKER_02]: I put it's fingers to its lips as it was grinning.
[SPEAKER_02]: I slammed to a stop, my sister was chasing so close she ran right into me, which pushed us both into the corner of the kitchen.
[SPEAKER_02]: We both started screaming and my mom ran into see what the matter was.
[SPEAKER_02]: The haunted me for 25 years, or the thing was gone, sorry, not for 25 years now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Although I've done a lot of searching, I've never really found anything with what we saw.
[SPEAKER_02]: For a long time, I thought maybe I imagined it, even when it weren't for my sister who had such a old scene of thing too, and my mom remembering our real terror.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd probably wouldn't have written it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I probably would have just written it off.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the fact that both scene it, I mean, also in this house, we had disembodied voices, things kept moving, super weird dreams,
[SPEAKER_01]: I had a friend when they were a little kid saw, uh, I think they said they had they they were like five or six.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they got up at night to go to the bathroom and they got out the room and down the hallway, you know, the bathrooms down the hallway, whatever.
[SPEAKER_01]: They seen, they said it was like a little Bronosaurus dinosaur looking thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've talked about this.
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, I know because it is crazy because I remember I found other accounts.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the, and then another dinosaur, like another, yes, sorry, continue.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's just, and then it scared her enough to where I think she ran to the bathroom, but then she came back out to look for it again.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was gone.
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever it was was gone.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know, it just sounded similar.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like where they was there and then after you noticed it, it's gone.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's weird stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: This next one is from Tara Awards on the witchcraft subreddit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I'm a practicing witch of well, but let me just jump right into why I know some of you sort of fail in my house.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know there's some, okay, a little bit of typos.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not complaining coming from history.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: My next or neighbor at my apartment building is pretty close with us and comes over pretty often.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's spiritual but doesn't practice.
[SPEAKER_02]: One night about a week ago, our neighbor told my fiance that he had sleep paralysis and saw a goblin outside his window facing our apartment during his sleep paralysis.
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't know what about, or I didn't know about it until a few days ago, about the same night, our front door opened on its own.
[SPEAKER_02]: We had forgotten to lock it, but we were convinced somebody had turned the knob.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nobody's there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Keep in mind, I have a pretty intense house protection spell that I do monthly.
[SPEAKER_02]: By the time that that happened, I had only done it twice as I do it now on every full moon.
[SPEAKER_02]: Since this happened, my fiance's bipolar has been crazy, has been very, very too emotional.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's also been a lot of things going missing, and reappearing in the exact same spot we just looked for them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Always our animals, two dogs and a cat, also been really weird, and our neighbors both told us that they're sad for some reason.
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like emotionally damaged them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think the goblin was on a responsible for a handful of those things.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe.
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you trying to say?
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, just nothing in the gob and stuff causes depression.
[SPEAKER_01]: Unless they're screwing with you, but like, yeah, and that's, or if it really, like, scared you and like, just change your worldview.
[SPEAKER_02]: That can be, but they're not, they're not like an oppressive thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like a spirit and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Or like a, sleep paralysis demon.
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though they, I found a lot of stories where I did not realize this until looking into this, a lot of, not like probably the fourth or fifth most common one is like goblins.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're sleep paralysis creatures.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it goes shout out people, old haggs, grays, and then goblins.
[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder what that is that sleep paralysis like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Where there's, are there's any of those into these real?
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_02]: I've no idea.
[SPEAKER_01]: Where's that happening in your mind where that stuff's appearing?
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's a real to some extent, because everyone has experienced in the same sort of phenomena, but we're in reality, does it fit?
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: These are questions I set up at night and wonder.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, probably should.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, I do.
[SPEAKER_01]: I do.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's why I get about two hours of sleep a week.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why my hair fell out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it did.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, what do you think about house goblins?
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I really do think there's reality to them like this.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a real.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what they are and is the magic just gone or like you said there are modern houses not allowing them to stay here or that I don't think people are doing the practices either.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, to bring them in or keep them around.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, yeah, yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: and nobody has heart anymore.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, there's like a dying thing and where's our altar?
[SPEAKER_02]: One of those, uh, ability that show that has a bunch of, like it's like modern day mixed in with.
[SPEAKER_02]: all kinds of folklore from around the world.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, uh, they have misses in there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is steel stuff constantly and they, the joke is always that you'd left it out for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because there's no hearths anymore.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no spot to leave stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: They can take anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's like, I thought you left it out for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's mine.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they always take left socks and that kind of stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's definitely one living in my house then because, uh,
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a pill, excuse me, a pillow case I've accumulated over the years, full, jam pack full of one sock with no match, like I could just throw it away and never think about again, but I kept it because I'm like, where are they going?
[SPEAKER_01]: I never, like there's, there's still never found the match for them, but it's a, and this is, I'm talking years, like over a decade, I've kept this thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: there's no match the socks under either the washing tub or the drying bin maybe I tore apart my dryer last summer because it broke was it full of socks not one in there because I was I was expecting it was the washer we took one apart and there was like I've heard not for both that they can get into like the I think it's more like I think it is more the dryer it gets in like the dad fixed one one time and it was like full of like socks and like really little underwear
[SPEAKER_01]: I was expecting because the heating element broke so and I'd like Google it like oh this is really easy so I took my dryer apart and yeah and when at home you can fix your own dryer trust me you can do it they're all very simple but for the most part depending on what for what breaks heating element super easy other switches super easy but anyways
[SPEAKER_01]: Opened it up and I was like, there's bright years from all my socks are going to be because I never opened one up before.
[SPEAKER_01]: Boom.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was nothing just some lint.
[SPEAKER_01]: Little disappointed.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's there's brownies out there stealing a socks.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm falling on.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they are real.
[SPEAKER_01]: I got evidence missing socks.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now what?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm done.
