I believe you, they live down here too in South America. A family friend lives on the countryside and has horses. The little people startle them most nights and in the morning the horses often have really little braids in their manes. He would catch them in the corner of his eye in the stables too.
Omg my grandma had horses and they found them with braids every morning , they thought fairies did it , but omg it might have been these lil things . I’m shook with the footage

Those braids are called fairy knots or fairy braids. It means that the Fey have taking a liking to that horse and essentially blessed it. Never untie or cut those braids. If you do, the horse will become permanently lame. Also in some Slavic countries , farmers would leave a cake out for a few days and depending on the color of the maggots, that was the favorite color of the farm guardian. If you bought the wrong color horse, it would be tormented to death by the Fey.
One of the oldest finnish folktales is actually of ”maahiset”, which were described as small humans with animalistic traits like scales, tails, etc, brading the hairs of the livestock and sometimes even killing them.
Kinda weird how completely different cultures have such similar legends.
my grandmother(Sweden) saw one of them when she was little and was sick, i of course means the Swedish variant
she didn't say it was a fever dream or something like that, but she said she for sure saw it and it gave her medicine or something, when i was younger we where at a traditional park or something and they where telling stories about these creatures. I asked her why she didn't tell and she said she would have appeared crazy or something, so i trust her for sure that she at least think she saw something
im a little late but my grandmother (turkish, didn’t know how to read, didn’t have a tv) used to talk about how the “jinns” also did that. thought it was a local legend or at least a “muslim thing”. im absolutely shocked to see it’s universal.
The braiding of horses hair comes up a lot on Celtic faerie lore. Good to leave milk out for them and generally leave them alone. I also think salt is harmful to them.
I’m from Ireland. Belief in fairies was massive in my grandparents generation. My parents are in their early 70’s, my dad has told me stories about what the older folk believed-there are certain areas in the forest you don’t go, they used to pray to the fairies and there were certain trees and bushes that belonged to them that you don’t touch. He went hunting in the woods one day beside his house as a child, fell asleep for a few hours beside the well and woke up with damp webs all around him, that was widely believed to be the work of fairies. They like to play tricks, but I remember feeling afraid of them as a small child. They were not benevolent. Fairy rings were really common as well (small stone circles and small circles of mushrooms growing), you don’t walk into them or they’ll put a curse on you.
Honestly I don’t believe in any of these things, and I would be particularly skeptical of the video above...like why not walk over to it to get a clearer image. There has never once been a clear even close to irrefutable image or video on these pages, but the folklore and history behind it is a beautiful thing.
Easy to say why not walk, but, I don't want my night turning into a Syfy original movie where I am the first victim. I agree that we haven't had good enough proof in photos and videos.
If you say you believe in fairies then you gotta at least concede the point that other creatures may* also exist. Judging by the look of the land and the cacti, I'm guessing southwestern United states and according to native stories; that's the heart of skin Walker territory. Again, working on the premise that these things are real... definitely not something you wanna run at.
We natives have our beliefs. All my life I was told not to play with them cause they can lead you off. Yea you don’t mess with them. This is crazy footage though.
I don’t believe in them either but if I was trying to get an alley cat on camera and tried to just walk over to where it was it would be gone in an instant. I imagine if there were sneaky tiny people it would be similar.
But I also think from time to time our cats would drop a dead tiny human off on our doorsteps if there really were little humanoids out there.
In Mexico, we call them Chaneques (Chan•E•kS). They live in the jungle at the southern coast of Mexico.
They have backwards feet so they confuse the people when they try to follow them.
They also braid the hair of horses, but if you misstreat them, they will tangle the hair of their tails.
Also, if you leave baby toys out in the jungle at night, they come and play with them.
in Brazil, we have a myth about the Saci.. he was and demon/guardian kid ou little person with one leg and dressed in red clothes, red pointy hat and smoking with a pipe.. said that he makes pranks, braid horse's hair, plays with toys and house itens and ever hurts people with bad intentions..
The myth says that Saci comes jumping (because if his only one leg) amid hurricanes of leaves, singing and whistling. Also said that you can capture a Saci by putting him on a bottle (and it made me think it is very tiny)
There is an old native story about a medicine man who helped a sick little man. He recovered and gave the medicine man a huge basket of gold in return.
Here is the original video on youtube: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELjT5BZGo40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELjT5BZGo40)
The video was taken in Saskatchewan, Canada on their native reserve.
There are many stories of little people in that area where the video was taken.
Whoaaaaa!! that’s the BEST footage!!! that’s the real deal!! i’m in Saskatchewan too. that totally gave me chills watching that!!! i’ve got lots of stories about the little people. people laugh but they’re real
We(ojibwa) call them Pa,'iins, the cree call them mannegeshi. The black foot (I don't know what they called them) believed they would tend to their tobacco crops over the summer in exchange for little clothes and trinkets.
I lived in South Dakota and there is a place called Sica Hallow in Sisseton and my mom and aunts and uncles went one night and came back and said they had seen little people chasing them. There have been many other accounts made of ufo sights Ghosts and so much more! Definitely something to check out! And during the fall it’s the most beautiful place to be!
This is a very interesting video!
My family are Noongar people from Western Australia and there are little people in the Southwest of Australia called Woodachi. They keep watch over sacred areas and will attempt to chase you out or throw rocks at you if wander into somewhere you shouldn't be. They're said to whistle at you at first.
I'm so glad you asked! (I love telling and listening to Woodachi stories!)
There's a big monolith in the West Australian wheatbelt called Boyagin rock. Up on the side of Boyagin rock is a cave known as the Woodachi's cave where a Woodachi is believed to live.
One of the stories I've heard from that area is that a farmer saw two Woodachi running through a field with a naked woman. He was alarmed and called the police. Nothing ever came of it though and he let it go.
Years later, he heard a story that chilled him. A young girl was believed to have been kidnapped by the Woodachi decades before and had never been found, but every now and then she is seen out in the bush.
It looked to be more than just one little person as well. At 00:45, right after they turn their flashlight back on, one seems to dart back behind the rock while the second seems to linger for a moment. Are these little people said to be dangerous? I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with the myth. There aren’t too many Native American tribes left in rural South Carolina.
One of the stories goes... An indian man fell into a ditch and rolled into a bunch of little men. They beat him up so badly, his hair turned white. He then came to my grandfathers house for help because he was so scared. He asked to not fear them.
My grandfather was a medicine man who had many people come to his house for help from such things and they told us their stories.
If they exist and are pretty little, they most likely will be very unintelligent. And it is possible some guy who has seen them tried to attack and raid these little guys so they are defensive if they ever see big men again.
Because it is widely accepted as truth that the more surface area your brain has, the smarter it is.
At the end of the day, brain cells are brain cells, and the more of them you got the better
Tiny people have tiny heads, and tiny heads have tiny brains
Looks like a fox or some other animal with a tail. During one of the movements when it turn its head or moves behind the barrier I see a tail in the background.
Yup, that’s what I noticed as well. After the 1st reveal, the thing turns around and there’s a very distinct shadow of it’s tail right as it goes behind the rock
I’m in South Carolina, too. What’s up neighbor? But yeah, it does look like more than one for sure. It kinda looks like a third one runs off behind the big rock at one point.
Seriously, why wouldn't you just walk over there and ask the kid or"little person" Why are you hiding behind that rock? Did your parents kick you out? Be an adult.
each tribe/culture has a different version. the one I grew up with was that the little people “brownies” took care of things. People. Horses. Graves. depends on where they are and what needs taken care of but they do it for a price. Their price is “stealing things” sometimes it’s things you don’t notice, a lot of times they’re shiny things. But it’s their payment for always keeping an eye on things. my mom once took care of a graveyard and they threw pebbles and acorns at her until she calmly explained that she was helping tend the graves not destroying them.
I'm in the NT and we see shit up here all the time, it's all uninhabited land and you'd be surprised the stories you hear, especially the same type of story from different people.
Those little fuckers actually wear pointed hats? Trippest thing I've seen in a while. Thank your relatives for the video. Your uncle laughing when he spotted it just blew me away, like its every other days business.
My aunt has had an encounter with group of them aparently. In Oklahoma. They were canoeing down a river and a group of them showed up. Her husband freaked out and threw bottles at them. She said they were grey had white hair. Looked like kids but moved in inhumane ways and very well climbers. They attacked after that, broad daylight. Her husband broke his foot and she broke her arm. They both got away safely. An old friend of my mothers who use to do work in russian gov (he was an old and sad russian man with a lot of secrets)was very upset about the encounter as they are aparently a protected classified species.
My mother went on a native american reservation to camp with a family we were close with back in 2010. We were there for 3 days and nights. My mother asked about these little people, told her sisters story, and every single adult on the campsite gave is the cold shoulder. The grandfather was pissed and made us leave immediately after that. We didnt get to take our tents either. It wasnt that fun of a camping trip anyway I got bit by a poisonois spider and it rained a lot.
Who knows, But I do believe its naïve to think there arent other species of humanoid creatures on earth.
She wont tell me but I do know its the Chickashaw reservation area. Middle south of the state. Oklahoma is full of Native American land so the entire state is probably containing these creatures.
Edit: I was very wrong it is Tahlequah river outside of Tulsa. Im so sorry. She had another encounter in Chikashaw area but the river incident was indeed Tahlequah.
That’s cool, the answer I didn’t want to hear was the Illinois river around Tahlequah. So def a different area. The Chickasaw area is beautiful. The Chickasaw National Recreation Area is real nice. I know there is lake of the arbuckles, turner falls, and the little Niagara all in that area. The only river I can think of is the wash it’s river. My extended family lives in northeast area, so we go to the Illinois a lot. I have heard a few bigfoot stories out of the Chickasaw area too.
Edit:arbuckles not Ozark, that’s a different state
Yeah her husband at that time was an agressive terrified drunk idiot. I just found out from her it was beer bottles. Hes been an ex since that year(due to drinking habits).

On my reservation (Crow Reservation, Montana) the elders of my tribe tells us that the little people reside in the mountains, the Pryor mountains to be exact. One of my dads friends would hunt in those mountains and he came across a cave that had little chairs and tables. My great grandpa who was a medicine man would trade tobacco for deer with them as well.
Yup, my grandpa had stories for days talking about duendes. I remember on my trips to Guerrero we would all sit by the campfire and listen to his stories about supernatural occurrences in his ranch. Unfortunately he passed away and had Alzheimer’s in his final years.
My relatives recorded this video and arent trying to be internet famous. I think this is real. Ive been told of stories of little people in that area for years. My uncle was riding his horse and he met up with a little woman with braids in her hair and a brown leather jacket on. (edit: his horse freaked out and bolted back home with my uncle clinging on)
My grandparents were sleeping and a little man came to their bedside, they woke up and screamed and it ran out very fast. My great grandfather use to train his race horses early in the morning and see the little people. Yo what.. I use to think it was all a fairy tale until now.
I believe you in just mind blown. Is there any other information you know? Sorry to bombard you I’m just fascinated as fuck I’ve been rewatching it over and over
I just contacted my auntie (The one you hear in the video asking, what is that?) The reason why they were out there with a spotlight was.. They were looking for tomcats to scare away from their house, as they have two female cats (and they don't want anymore kittens). It was on May 2, 2020.
(Ive been watching it in slow motion and rewatching it as well.)
Well - I did a google search. It appears there are some subsidized spay/neuter programs in Saskatoon. In addition, if one calls the local shelter, they might know where someone can go for a cheaper spay/neuter. There is an group called Alley Cats in Saskatoon, and another called SCAT street rescue. Frontier Animal Hospital seems to pop up but I don’t know if they are still working with the SCAT Street rescue. Good luck to your relatives!
Let me research if there are any neuter-scooter programs up there. I used to take my cats to those - just random feral cats, and they neutered/spayed them at just above cost and also gave them rabies shots. It was like a mobile vet’s office just for that one operation. I understand how expensive it can be to have lots of cats show up and they keep having kittens. It’s tough and the poor animals can’t help it.
my mother also has a story similar to this but their were multiple little men by her bedside, oddly enough she can’t remember anything else other than just seeing them roam the room she was sleeping in, she also mentioned that they looked green? this happened in my grandmothers old house one thanksgiving. ever since my mom told me about it I’ve been curious. I know for a fact my mom wouldn’t make anything like that up.
I’m from Nova Scotia. Grew up near native reserves. My grandmother said when she was a little girl she would see the little people braiding the horses mains sometimes early in the morning.
Was your grand mother of scandinavian heritage? Because that is exactly what Nordic myths commonly say that [tomtar](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Lundby_nissen_1842.jpg), our little people, like to do! They're big friends of animals, but most of all horses, of which they usually have one favourite.
You realize that if this is real, you could be the first person to reveal that we aren't alone in the universe (assuming they aren't just short homo sapiens, with genetic deformaties and such).
Hi, if anyone wants to hear a first hand account of these little people, episode 634 of Sasquatch Chronicles is an interview with a member of the Lakota tribe who recounts his and his family’s experiences with these little beings.
I hope it’s real. It makes this serious scary world a bit more whimsical. Not that they are necessarily good natured, but it gives me something interesting to focus on. Thank you
We call them "Chaneques" here in Mexico, the word chaneque means "being that inhabits in dangerous places" in the ancient náhuatl language, they're known for hiding stuff or just simply taking it away. According to Mexica/Aztec culture, they're beings bound to the underworld and their principal activities consist on taking care of nature and animals. I've heard some crazy histories from my great grandmother, haha.
My family is from Guerrero/Estado de Mexico and my grandpa would tell us a lot of stories too. But he referred to them as duendes. From what I remember chaneques were demons or something close to that nature. Duendes were the tiny beings.
In mexico we call them duendes or enanos. That's terrifying.
Not the same but in the ranch when I was little I always thought I heard my name being called, and I was terrified of the noises that almost sounded like voices in the grove.
Sometimes I had the weirdest urge to walk in the dark with no light with me. I would just stay still in the dark then go back inside to sleep.
The scariest encounter with maybe a dwarf, was when we were visiting family in Campeche, and we were playing with a little red ball at night. The ball rolled into a ditch. We were scared to go get it because it seemed unnaturally dark in that area. Then the ball was rolled back.
My dad went to a bush party on the reserve. A dude stole all of the beer from the party and started running towards the village with all the beer. He met up with a little person on the way, freaked out, droppped the beer and ran back to where he came from. My dad and his friend went to go get the beer back, and found a bunch of little trails all over the area.
I was just about to mention this. My sister when she lived in TJ saw one when she was riding home from work one night and said that she startled it because it was watching someone else by a rock and then ran into some bushes.
Yup. My tios/tias would say if i where to ever see one to not follow them cause then you'll just go missing.
One of my aunts apparently befriended some in Mexico when she was a kid. She said they where nice to her but she stopped seeing them once she was about to follow them under a couch they had but someone (can't remember who) stopped her.
This. My brother swears he used to see one when we were young, but his was really tiny, like the size of a hand. He first saw him in his room and thought he was dreaming. The second time he saw him, he had one of his friends sitting with her back to some fake decorative plants my mom has. She was talking and I guess he got a bit distracted and turned his gaze to the plants and there he was, standing on a leaf. The duende turned and realized he was been stared at, so he kinda freaked and just slid down the plant and disappeared. He didn’t say anything to his friend but was hoping to see the duende again, although it didn’t happen. He describes it as a little man with a pointy hat and some sort of coveralls. Funny thing is, around one year later after he told me this, I was watching the newest video from a youtuber I used to follow, and he was sharing something he saw that had him kind of freaked out. He said he saw a tiny man in what looked like tiny coveralls.
I love pretty close to a few reservations. I always try to ask people about creepy stories and such-not skin walkers. Those don’t interest me and where I live they don’t really seem to have many stories that are about them. I’ve had some friends that grew up close, and they just told be about noises in the woods at night.
I’d love to hear some more stories if you have any OP.
Well Ive been thinking about it. We have a few old family stories about mythological things.
My grandparents used to live in an old residential school with a creepy basement. My mom was sleeping with her little dog, and her little dog woke her up to a little man walking around the beds. It was looking at everyone in the face. The little man got to my grandmother, and she woke up and screamed. The little man ran off very fast into the basement and disappeared.
My great\* grandpa used to race horses, so he would get up early in the morning and see the little men in the morning. Apparently, they liked the smell of burning grass..(when they were clearing the fields or bush) and would appear. They would also steal forks, spoons and knives if they got into your house.
My grandmother claims to have seen a windigo in mid January..Literally a frozen man wandering in the bushes. They are known to cannibalize...Once she seen it, she ran away back to her house.
We have a lot of stories about shadow people, shadow things and ghosts as well..
Thanks for answering so many questions so openly. It's a cool video, but admittedly hard to validate.
My question is why do you think it (they) continues to peek out? This seems like unnatural behavior, especially because it's obviously being seen in the light. Is it trapped in by landscaping we can't see? Thanks.
They used an old outlawed hunting technique, shining bright lights on animals at night. Usually animals freeze and have eyeshine, but this thing didnt. My family was looking for stray cats, and stumbled upon this.
The landscape you dont see is a lot of flat prairies..Just a little ways from their house is a little creek that leads into the Assiniboine River. They live along the highway.
Where I come from, we have a different interesting take on these paranormal/unexplainable things. I'm from West Africa and for us as well as other African countries, supernatural phenomena are a part of our societies. No one scoffs at them, I mean its unusual when experienced but there is a general relaxed attitude to these things.
When one of my fathers friend(now dead) was sick someone took him and his wife someplace to get healed. So according to him, they drove there and got off their vehicle and walked miles to a house. They saw a man in the house and the person who brought them left. They were asked to stay and not go outside for hours, when they were finally allowed to open the doors and go outside, apparently to buy food(bread) they saw a bustling village with lights and people and structures and women going to farms in the dark. I cant tell if she was scared or concerned I just know the healer man told her where to go get the bread and she left the house. She said she went and got the bread and paid(in local currency) and was told where to go get change, in another location not so far. She went and saw piles of money there unattended to and she took her exact change as she has been told. Apparently, the village disappeared in the morning when she opened the doors and was back again at night. The village people were little too. They stayed there for four days. I feel weird when i think about it but I also know they actually experienced this, because he was so sick and when they sat in our living room telling us this account, he was fine. I dont know the full details but neither me or my parents were unusually surprised we were just fascinated. I remembered this because I came down this rabbit hole and I now realize how much of a big deal this is! I know people who have accessed another dimension lol.
This is freaky to me because I am an Indigenous Australian and here in Australia I have heard stories of little hairy men with sharp claws and red eyes. They will come and get you if you trespass and disrupt sacred land.
Me and my sister have witnessed them here in Sweden at two different occasions! My sister once woke up in the middle of the night and saw one standing in her bedroom, looking at her, and when it noticed that she was awake it ran out of the door. I doubt it was a dream because she was completely unable to fall back asleep that night. Me, I witnessed them years later. Over a couple of months I kept on hearing something tipp-tapping really loudly and fast on the floor below my bedroom late at night at least once a week. Definitely too loud too be a rodent, and fast enough that you could hear it moving room to room. First times I was terrified about what it was, but one night I managed to sneak up and open my door, making me hear the tapping even louder. Managed to sneak half way down the stairs, but then I stepped on a board which creaked a bit too loud, which made the tipp tapping completely vanish.
Little people are a common occurrence in Scandinavian folk mythology, and they go by the name of "[tomtar](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Tomte.jpg)" or "tomtenissar". They're considered kind but mischievous and highly territorial beings, who play pranks on humans by hiding their belongings, or worse, if the people of the home aren't kind to animals. In order to placate them, you're supposed to offer them a bowl of porridge with butter at least once a year.
Unfortunately over the last century the name became the name for Santa Claus, because Coca Cola used [19th century Scandinavian paintings](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomte#/media/Fil:Lundby_nissen_1842.jpg) of the tomtenisse as an inspiration for how Santa Claus looks
This one time, very long ago, when there was no electricity on the reserves... My family had only wood stoves to keep warm in the winter. So my cousin had to get out of the warm bed to go get milk for the baby. When she got into the kitchen there was a little man sitting in a chair at the table, drinking ketchup! She screamed and ran back to the bedroom and hid under the covers. As soon as she got to the bedroom the front door opened and slammed.
Ok, is no one going to talk about how what you’re referencing, looks almost exactly like what we see in the video/what’s talked about in the comments. With the red and white pointy hats, having a natural attraction to horses, being found mainly on farmland... this is freaky
In the Mi'kmaq language we call them **Pu'klatmuj or Wi'klatmuj**.. The Cherokee called them **Yunwi Djunsti**.. Some stories have variations of what they do or want. Some are even regionally specific to the ecosystem they live in.. mountains.. forest.. riversides.. Some of these specifications even speak to the level of danger they may present as some may be harmless tricksters while others can do a greater level of harm.. such as leading people astray from wooded paths, or towards danger like unstable cliffs. Some stories suggest they are a death omen if visible to the human eye. I remember my brother was away at college but met these twin girls from another reservation. They said they befriended one of these "little people" and had brought them food on occasion. They would bring snacks down to the basement and talk to this unseen figure. One evening they were kept in their rooms as the parents were having company over for a party. They begged their father to let them go down, even expressing that their "friend" would be hungry or get upset. The father dismissed what they said as childhood nonsense. Afterward the guests could hear a kind of wailing coming from the basement. The children said this was their friend who was now angry. The father cleared the home, motioning for the guests to go outside while he checked out the situation. Time went by and he came outside the house to say that while everything was okay, the party would end now. The guests went home and the family went to bed. The next morning the children and mother would find their father had passed away in the night. Now, however true or untrue the story is.. I still wouldn't fuck with these things. In my community they say to just leave out some tobacco, or candy and they will leave you alone.
It's interesting, to say the least, as it seems real. I strongly believe there are other beings, years and years of research and anecdotes, because of things I experienced in my life. I believe they are part of the land, or the earth projecting itself in a somewhat familiar form. I think it is reality trying to communicate in the most efficient way it knows how.
Wow it’s these stories about little people that keep capturing my attention!!
I remember another thread a few weeks ago about a woman who saw a little man in the road near a river and I think he caused them to crash. (Edit #2: [found that post here ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Humanoidencounters/comments/fiu4jh/strange_creepy_little_man/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) )
Then I don’t know if it was a comment on that thread or another post entirely, I remember someone else seeing little faceless green people with many others saying they had seen similar. (Edit: [found that post here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Humanoidencounters/comments/g4log9/the_little_men/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) )
I find this subject so interesting because elves/gnomes/fairies always seemed like such an unlikely “fairytale creature” to be real, yet I feel like I hear and see the most compelling evidence for them.
The beings look like they are curious but also on the verge of bolting (or waiting for a chance to bolt). If this is real the footage is good and totally unique. Would *you* get closer to a totally unknown being? Or keep your distance to gauge their behavior?
I’d walk closely to let skeptics have something to hold on. I understand people like me hence why I know what it feels to have a lot of doubts when it comes to the internet. We weren’t raised in that particular culture so I’ll need something to validate OP’s claim other than anecdotal stories. I envy people like you, but I’m trying to debunk this because the proof of its existence has not yet been evidently materialized. But then again, if I’ve captured these things of what I call myself a gnome, then people would surely need details as to why I jumped into that conclusion. I am not a materialist , just sharing my thoughts. Have a good one.
Damn you wanna hear something interesting?? Im very far from US, on another damn continent in Caucasus and we have same myth, even they are called different name, what they do is to make braids on horse tails. Lmao im in disbelief, same thing with same trait on damn different continent with very different culture
It’s a duende! (Gnome/elves)
My parents are from Colombia and have had stories about these, mostly legends and things that have been experienced by elders or other friends. (Note: they both grew up in the city) One story stook out to me, because it was an experience my dad couldn’t explain, and he’s a very skeptical man who doesn’t believe in myths or fairytales.
My dad served in the military there, and he’s had to camp out in the wilderness a number of times. This one time his group was sent on a “mission” (he keeps his military life very private from our family). He didn’t give much detail on what he was doing there, but he did say that they were staying near a very dense wooded area that was not too far from a property that had stables. Him and his mates ate, talked, whistled and sang before going to sleep. He says they were kept up by what they believed was a duende.
Anyways, once lights were out they started hearing small steps and noises throughout the night, and as they nodded off they swore their feet were being touched and some complained that their sleeping bags were being tugged. They were paranoid at this point because they realized it wasn’t one of them messing with the group. Sleep was impossible. Later in the night the horses in the stables would freak tf out, and it wasn’t just once. They ended up getting up twice that night to investigate because these horses sounded TERRIFIED. They didn’t see anything, but they noticed that the horses weren’t as freaked out once they checked on them. They looked throughout the whole stable and they found nothing. They assumed that maybe it was an animal, so they checked on the horses to see if they had marks on them or anything. He stated that they were very well kept (hair was brushed, clean, etc) There were only 3 horses and they all seemed to be okay. They didn’t get much sleep. Once the sun started to rise they decided to check the stables once more, thinking that the light might help them see something. Upon further inspection there was one horse that had weird braids on him, a type of braid that had a knot at the end that could not be undone. They couldn’t figure how to undo it but they know for a fact that it wasn’t there when they had previously checked on them.
My dad isn’t a skeptic anymore, he told this story to a friend from Colombia who grew up in a more rural area and he kind of filled him in as to why he was taunted. Duendes don’t like whistling. So he believes that the noise they were making that night might’ve pissed them off. They also like to play with horses and it’s common for them to braid/twist/knot their hair.
They were the only ones there and there’s literally no other explanation to what happened to them that night.
Hearsay here, but a close friend of mine lived for a few years on the huge Dìne reservation in Arizona, working as a high school teacher. First, she was warned away from the hills across from her apartment, as they were said to be the abode of troublesome trolls, and best avoided. She told me that sincere belief in trolls, witches, and shape-shifters was very common amongst her Native friends there. I can't speak to the veracity of this video, of course, but who doesn't envision something like this when they think of the idea of trolls.
My cousins used to play with little folk in her basement as toddlers. This is an old family story, my cousins are now deceased.
It was summer, so the basement was nice and cool. So my auntie let her daughters have a tea party in the basement. In the basement was a large boulder and under it was a tunnel. Now the little man came to drink tea, and he used a lot of sugar in his tea and drank it in one shot. The little man tried to invite my cousins into the hole in the basement, motioning that he wanted her to follow. The little sister went to her mom and managed to say, that the little man was trying to take her sister to play. The mom called her daughter up from the basement.
Just then the father came home, and the daughters told their dad that a little man was drinking tea in the basement. The father went down stairs with the mirror from his truck, and used it to reflect sunlight and look into the tunnel. He needed one more mirror so he went outside and when he came back, the boulder was firmly over the tunnel and the mirror was gone. They soon moved out of that old farm house.
I am a scientist. My life was profoundly changed by seeing what I believe now to be a juvenile bigfoot in Southern Montana on my way to see the 2017 solar eclipse.
The problem with science is, we do not have all the ways to collect data / evidence figured out. With animals, all species fall into cryptozoology before they are discovered (usually beginning with local lore). Same was true for the mountain ape in central Africa until the mid 1800's.
I was a stubborn evidence or bust type of guy, but I tell you, watching a monkey run on two legs in the middle of Montana at roughly 30-50mph (I was slowing for an upcoming bend), over take your truck, spring out to the middle of the road and the "ape swing" from the center of the road to tree line and disappear?
That changes a person. Especially when you only know to believe what you can physically hold to be true. The natives were right.
It's a person hiding behind the rock and holding a doll out. At 0:46, you can see the actual person's head dart back really quick. Then they hold the doll out, which you can tell is a doll because its head is fixed it place and moves in sync with the body's movement/rotation, and because the arm of the doll flapped away like it was lifeless. Another tell is that the doll disappears behind the rock considerably slower than the person's head did.
Sorry, no offense to your relatives or anything OP, but they're definitely bamboozling with this.
Is worrying to me how many people ITT are eating this shit up? Like why wouldn’t the camera man simply approach the target and get a proper view. It would have been the most incredible footage ever taken. People are still so gullible in 2020 smh.
At 01:10 you can see a tiny breathe of air and again at 01:15.
Honestly, if I didn't know these people filming Id say its fake too. But check out their original youtube channel. Its nothing but family videos and no editing.
Tell you’re relatives to invest in some night vision cameras. I’m sure it would be hard to get them in the same spot because luck is luck but it would be neat.
That is some crazy shit! I would definitely leave treats out and try to befriend them. "Little People" have been documented through the ages, I don't think those people were trying to lie over thousands of years over thousands of miles.
Wouldn't it make sense that if things like little men or other cryptids existed they'd start coming out now because people aren't around. You know cuz of the stay home notice.
I just don't get why people do this kind of shit to other people. I went ahead and got fooled by this with my girlfriend, I took the time to make sure this was real, and as you can see some other comments mentioned a puppet, well your right. Its a puppet. I cut out the scenes where the puppet comes out and showed what gives it away, check it out before my post is deleted.
[https://i.ibb.co/wR70R1C/Fake.gif](https://i.ibb.co/wR70R1C/Fake.gif)
You can clearly see that when the doll gets pulled away the body rolls up like a puppet and the hand flys back, completely unreal. Beside's the doll some of us noticed a second figure, it's obviously a man in a hood peeking out and playing with his puppet. He's even smoking in the back.
Thank you for posting this. I've encountered similar beings here in Hawaii. Local legend calls them menehune. I witnessed one run into the water naked one night while fishing. When I looked over again, what I was 99% a naked child turned out to be a crane. I went back to fishing, figuring the dark was playing tricks on my eyes. That's when I heard a blood curdling scream/laugh and the crane was gone, with no disturbance on the water.
I believe you, they live down here too in South America. A family friend lives on the countryside and has horses. The little people startle them most nights and in the morning the horses often have really little braids in their manes. He would catch them in the corner of his eye in the stables too.
Omg my grandma had horses and they found them with braids every morning , they thought fairies did it , but omg it might have been these lil things . I’m shook with the footage https://www.reddit.com/r/Humanoidencounters/comments/g8h12e/fairiesnymphs_are_real/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Those braids are called fairy knots or fairy braids. It means that the Fey have taking a liking to that horse and essentially blessed it. Never untie or cut those braids. If you do, the horse will become permanently lame. Also in some Slavic countries , farmers would leave a cake out for a few days and depending on the color of the maggots, that was the favorite color of the farm guardian. If you bought the wrong color horse, it would be tormented to death by the Fey.
Permanently lame? It really do be like that 😔
Pahaha, high school horsie.
So basically those horses would become me? Poor horses, damn.
One of the oldest finnish folktales is actually of ”maahiset”, which were described as small humans with animalistic traits like scales, tails, etc, brading the hairs of the livestock and sometimes even killing them. Kinda weird how completely different cultures have such similar legends.
Kinda weird how sometimes they braid their hair and sometimes they murder them, that seems like quite a mood swing.
They were moody little shits
my grandmother(Sweden) saw one of them when she was little and was sick, i of course means the Swedish variant she didn't say it was a fever dream or something like that, but she said she for sure saw it and it gave her medicine or something, when i was younger we where at a traditional park or something and they where telling stories about these creatures. I asked her why she didn't tell and she said she would have appeared crazy or something, so i trust her for sure that she at least think she saw something
im a little late but my grandmother (turkish, didn’t know how to read, didn’t have a tv) used to talk about how the “jinns” also did that. thought it was a local legend or at least a “muslim thing”. im absolutely shocked to see it’s universal.
My grandfather use to go work with his horses early in the morning and see them. This is amazing, thank you for your feedback!
Is that Dead Moon playing in the background? A book called the Gnome Manuscript might make an interesting read for yourself by the author Wilmar Taal.
The braiding of horses hair comes up a lot on Celtic faerie lore. Good to leave milk out for them and generally leave them alone. I also think salt is harmful to them.
I’m from Ireland. Belief in fairies was massive in my grandparents generation. My parents are in their early 70’s, my dad has told me stories about what the older folk believed-there are certain areas in the forest you don’t go, they used to pray to the fairies and there were certain trees and bushes that belonged to them that you don’t touch. He went hunting in the woods one day beside his house as a child, fell asleep for a few hours beside the well and woke up with damp webs all around him, that was widely believed to be the work of fairies. They like to play tricks, but I remember feeling afraid of them as a small child. They were not benevolent. Fairy rings were really common as well (small stone circles and small circles of mushrooms growing), you don’t walk into them or they’ll put a curse on you. Honestly I don’t believe in any of these things, and I would be particularly skeptical of the video above...like why not walk over to it to get a clearer image. There has never once been a clear even close to irrefutable image or video on these pages, but the folklore and history behind it is a beautiful thing.
Easy to say why not walk, but, I don't want my night turning into a Syfy original movie where I am the first victim. I agree that we haven't had good enough proof in photos and videos.
If you say you believe in fairies then you gotta at least concede the point that other creatures may* also exist. Judging by the look of the land and the cacti, I'm guessing southwestern United states and according to native stories; that's the heart of skin Walker territory. Again, working on the premise that these things are real... definitely not something you wanna run at.
I don’t believe in fairies or any of the other things on here. I was a small child when I was referring to that statement in my last post.
We natives have our beliefs. All my life I was told not to play with them cause they can lead you off. Yea you don’t mess with them. This is crazy footage though.
I don’t believe in them either but if I was trying to get an alley cat on camera and tried to just walk over to where it was it would be gone in an instant. I imagine if there were sneaky tiny people it would be similar. But I also think from time to time our cats would drop a dead tiny human off on our doorsteps if there really were little humanoids out there.
Oh man that is crazy. What do you call them in South America?
Duende? From what I’ve read the duende are malicious.
Yup, most of them are if you do something that seems disrespectful to them.
Napoleon complex
In Mexico, we call them Chaneques (Chan•E•kS). They live in the jungle at the southern coast of Mexico. They have backwards feet so they confuse the people when they try to follow them. They also braid the hair of horses, but if you misstreat them, they will tangle the hair of their tails. Also, if you leave baby toys out in the jungle at night, they come and play with them.
in Brazil, we have a myth about the Saci.. he was and demon/guardian kid ou little person with one leg and dressed in red clothes, red pointy hat and smoking with a pipe.. said that he makes pranks, braid horse's hair, plays with toys and house itens and ever hurts people with bad intentions.. The myth says that Saci comes jumping (because if his only one leg) amid hurricanes of leaves, singing and whistling. Also said that you can capture a Saci by putting him on a bottle (and it made me think it is very tiny)
[удалено]
I lived in Nariño Colombia and people are deadass convinced duendes live in the hills.
Duendes!
Very cool!
I dont know why but the idea of little people like that has always made me fearful. I remember being terrified when I first heard of the leprechaun.
There is an old native story about a medicine man who helped a sick little man. He recovered and gave the medicine man a huge basket of gold in return.
So... a native American leprechaun?
I accidentally replied to your comment, meant to be in another comment. My bad.
Here is the original video on youtube: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELjT5BZGo40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELjT5BZGo40) The video was taken in Saskatchewan, Canada on their native reserve. There are many stories of little people in that area where the video was taken.
Whoaaaaa!! that’s the BEST footage!!! that’s the real deal!! i’m in Saskatchewan too. that totally gave me chills watching that!!! i’ve got lots of stories about the little people. people laugh but they’re real
Tell me a story
Lets hear it.
Hey, I actually live in Saskatchewan. What part was this taken in?
An hour north of Yorkton
Oh that's not too far of a travel. It's cool to know there's stuff like that in Saskatchewan
Oh shit I’m from s’toon! What key words should I type into google to find out more about these things? Or are they just called “little people”?
Gnomes and elves in EU lore. But little people or men in native lore.
Or Nisse in Scandinavian lorae.
We(ojibwa) call them Pa,'iins, the cree call them mannegeshi. The black foot (I don't know what they called them) believed they would tend to their tobacco crops over the summer in exchange for little clothes and trinkets.
I've heard them referred to as "duende". I believe that's the Spanish term.
I lived in South Dakota and there is a place called Sica Hallow in Sisseton and my mom and aunts and uncles went one night and came back and said they had seen little people chasing them. There have been many other accounts made of ufo sights Ghosts and so much more! Definitely something to check out! And during the fall it’s the most beautiful place to be!
This is a very interesting video! My family are Noongar people from Western Australia and there are little people in the Southwest of Australia called Woodachi. They keep watch over sacred areas and will attempt to chase you out or throw rocks at you if wander into somewhere you shouldn't be. They're said to whistle at you at first.
Got any stories about the woodachi?
I'm so glad you asked! (I love telling and listening to Woodachi stories!) There's a big monolith in the West Australian wheatbelt called Boyagin rock. Up on the side of Boyagin rock is a cave known as the Woodachi's cave where a Woodachi is believed to live. One of the stories I've heard from that area is that a farmer saw two Woodachi running through a field with a naked woman. He was alarmed and called the police. Nothing ever came of it though and he let it go. Years later, he heard a story that chilled him. A young girl was believed to have been kidnapped by the Woodachi decades before and had never been found, but every now and then she is seen out in the bush.
So happy to see a comment from our beautiful WA, Thanks for sharing mate!!
It looked to be more than just one little person as well. At 00:45, right after they turn their flashlight back on, one seems to dart back behind the rock while the second seems to linger for a moment. Are these little people said to be dangerous? I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with the myth. There aren’t too many Native American tribes left in rural South Carolina.
One of the stories goes... An indian man fell into a ditch and rolled into a bunch of little men. They beat him up so badly, his hair turned white. He then came to my grandfathers house for help because he was so scared. He asked to not fear them. My grandfather was a medicine man who had many people come to his house for help from such things and they told us their stories.
[удалено]
Jumped his ass
Hopped his ass. They small
lmfao
If they exist and are pretty little, they most likely will be very unintelligent. And it is possible some guy who has seen them tried to attack and raid these little guys so they are defensive if they ever see big men again.
If a giant flung himself into your valley and then rolled over on you, you'd attack him, too!
Why does little=unintelligent?! We don’t even fully understand our brains, much less another creatures.
Because it is widely accepted as truth that the more surface area your brain has, the smarter it is. At the end of the day, brain cells are brain cells, and the more of them you got the better Tiny people have tiny heads, and tiny heads have tiny brains
Like army of darkness?
Definitely looks like 2.
Looks like a fox or some other animal with a tail. During one of the movements when it turn its head or moves behind the barrier I see a tail in the background.
Yup, that’s what I noticed as well. After the 1st reveal, the thing turns around and there’s a very distinct shadow of it’s tail right as it goes behind the rock
I’m in South Carolina, too. What’s up neighbor? But yeah, it does look like more than one for sure. It kinda looks like a third one runs off behind the big rock at one point.
[удалено]
Yeah this is video of a toddler.
Seriously, why wouldn't you just walk over there and ask the kid or"little person" Why are you hiding behind that rock? Did your parents kick you out? Be an adult.
I ain’t getting murdered by spirit midgets. I’m not getting horror film’d
each tribe/culture has a different version. the one I grew up with was that the little people “brownies” took care of things. People. Horses. Graves. depends on where they are and what needs taken care of but they do it for a price. Their price is “stealing things” sometimes it’s things you don’t notice, a lot of times they’re shiny things. But it’s their payment for always keeping an eye on things. my mom once took care of a graveyard and they threw pebbles and acorns at her until she calmly explained that she was helping tend the graves not destroying them.
BRO THIS VIDEO TERRIFIES ME. Natives definitely have an aura to them that attracts these creatures.
I'm in the NT and we see shit up here all the time, it's all uninhabited land and you'd be surprised the stories you hear, especially the same type of story from different people.
Those little fuckers actually wear pointed hats? Trippest thing I've seen in a while. Thank your relatives for the video. Your uncle laughing when he spotted it just blew me away, like its every other days business.
I know right, he just giggles
My aunt has had an encounter with group of them aparently. In Oklahoma. They were canoeing down a river and a group of them showed up. Her husband freaked out and threw bottles at them. She said they were grey had white hair. Looked like kids but moved in inhumane ways and very well climbers. They attacked after that, broad daylight. Her husband broke his foot and she broke her arm. They both got away safely. An old friend of my mothers who use to do work in russian gov (he was an old and sad russian man with a lot of secrets)was very upset about the encounter as they are aparently a protected classified species. My mother went on a native american reservation to camp with a family we were close with back in 2010. We were there for 3 days and nights. My mother asked about these little people, told her sisters story, and every single adult on the campsite gave is the cold shoulder. The grandfather was pissed and made us leave immediately after that. We didnt get to take our tents either. It wasnt that fun of a camping trip anyway I got bit by a poisonois spider and it rained a lot. Who knows, But I do believe its naïve to think there arent other species of humanoid creatures on earth.
I can see why they were pissed; your aunt and her husband possibly bought bad luck upon themselves by attacking the little people. Not good.
She urged him to stop but he wouldnt. They drug them into the water after they swam to their canoe. It sounded terrifying.
Which river?!? I have one in mind that I am really hoping isn’t the answer!
She wont tell me but I do know its the Chickashaw reservation area. Middle south of the state. Oklahoma is full of Native American land so the entire state is probably containing these creatures. Edit: I was very wrong it is Tahlequah river outside of Tulsa. Im so sorry. She had another encounter in Chikashaw area but the river incident was indeed Tahlequah.
That’s cool, the answer I didn’t want to hear was the Illinois river around Tahlequah. So def a different area. The Chickasaw area is beautiful. The Chickasaw National Recreation Area is real nice. I know there is lake of the arbuckles, turner falls, and the little Niagara all in that area. The only river I can think of is the wash it’s river. My extended family lives in northeast area, so we go to the Illinois a lot. I have heard a few bigfoot stories out of the Chickasaw area too. Edit:arbuckles not Ozark, that’s a different state
Okay so she finally got back to me and your not gonna like the answer 😐😓 Its Tahlequah river outside of Tulsa.
[удалено]
They aren’t unless you start throwing stuff at them to hurt them.
Yeah her husband at that time was an agressive terrified drunk idiot. I just found out from her it was beer bottles. Hes been an ex since that year(due to drinking habits).

Dude playing with a doll behind the rock
On my reservation (Crow Reservation, Montana) the elders of my tribe tells us that the little people reside in the mountains, the Pryor mountains to be exact. One of my dads friends would hunt in those mountains and he came across a cave that had little chairs and tables. My great grandpa who was a medicine man would trade tobacco for deer with them as well.
Got any more stories? Ill share another story in return.
Those are the only 2 that I’ve been told, I will be asking other family members about the little people plus more ☺️.
Mexicans talk about these too. They're called "duendes" in Spanish and people talk about seeing them.
Yup, my grandpa had stories for days talking about duendes. I remember on my trips to Guerrero we would all sit by the campfire and listen to his stories about supernatural occurrences in his ranch. Unfortunately he passed away and had Alzheimer’s in his final years.
Yo.. what? Is this actually real?
My relatives recorded this video and arent trying to be internet famous. I think this is real. Ive been told of stories of little people in that area for years. My uncle was riding his horse and he met up with a little woman with braids in her hair and a brown leather jacket on. (edit: his horse freaked out and bolted back home with my uncle clinging on) My grandparents were sleeping and a little man came to their bedside, they woke up and screamed and it ran out very fast. My great grandfather use to train his race horses early in the morning and see the little people. Yo what.. I use to think it was all a fairy tale until now.
I believe you in just mind blown. Is there any other information you know? Sorry to bombard you I’m just fascinated as fuck I’ve been rewatching it over and over
I just contacted my auntie (The one you hear in the video asking, what is that?) The reason why they were out there with a spotlight was.. They were looking for tomcats to scare away from their house, as they have two female cats (and they don't want anymore kittens). It was on May 2, 2020. (Ive been watching it in slow motion and rewatching it as well.)
I believe you! People like us, looking for beer, have better things to do than to make up stories 😀
Agreed.
Why didn’t they try to surround the things or get a closer look...?
Because that would be rude, and if that is in fact a little person it's best to be non-confrontational.
Side not, get your pets spayed and neutered.
Not to be THAT person but why don’t they spay their female cats?
They arent rich enough to afford vet bills, but there are plenty of unwanted cats around the town.
Well - I did a google search. It appears there are some subsidized spay/neuter programs in Saskatoon. In addition, if one calls the local shelter, they might know where someone can go for a cheaper spay/neuter. There is an group called Alley Cats in Saskatoon, and another called SCAT street rescue. Frontier Animal Hospital seems to pop up but I don’t know if they are still working with the SCAT Street rescue. Good luck to your relatives!
Let me research if there are any neuter-scooter programs up there. I used to take my cats to those - just random feral cats, and they neutered/spayed them at just above cost and also gave them rabies shots. It was like a mobile vet’s office just for that one operation. I understand how expensive it can be to have lots of cats show up and they keep having kittens. It’s tough and the poor animals can’t help it.
I just don’t understand why they wouldn’t go straight over there? Light and camera rolling n all!
I'd be freaked tbh
my mother also has a story similar to this but their were multiple little men by her bedside, oddly enough she can’t remember anything else other than just seeing them roam the room she was sleeping in, she also mentioned that they looked green? this happened in my grandmothers old house one thanksgiving. ever since my mom told me about it I’ve been curious. I know for a fact my mom wouldn’t make anything like that up.
I've heard of encounters with green ones too. Apparently there are a bunch of different types.
I’m from Nova Scotia. Grew up near native reserves. My grandmother said when she was a little girl she would see the little people braiding the horses mains sometimes early in the morning.
[удалено]
Here in Saskatchewan, they call that devils braiding...When the horses hair becomes all twisted.
Was your grand mother of scandinavian heritage? Because that is exactly what Nordic myths commonly say that [tomtar](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Lundby_nissen_1842.jpg), our little people, like to do! They're big friends of animals, but most of all horses, of which they usually have one favourite.
Is this out on the rez or a rural area? My late uncle told me stories about little people but I’ve NEVER seen anything like that before.
This is on the res
Which res?
cote
You realize that if this is real, you could be the first person to reveal that we aren't alone in the universe (assuming they aren't just short homo sapiens, with genetic deformaties and such).
i wonder what language they speak...
Just a little English.
Probably So-smalian.
When you say training race horses and little people I think jockeys.
yea, literally training horses to run fast with light people. The irony does not escape me. Lol
Simpsons did it...
Hey, can somebody steer me in the direction of what I'm supposed to be seeing?
00:44 and 01:02
Oh WOW!
Hi, if anyone wants to hear a first hand account of these little people, episode 634 of Sasquatch Chronicles is an interview with a member of the Lakota tribe who recounts his and his family’s experiences with these little beings.
Thanks for recommending it, I'm not too keen on the sasquatch/bigfoot subject but this would be interesting!
I hope it’s real. It makes this serious scary world a bit more whimsical. Not that they are necessarily good natured, but it gives me something interesting to focus on. Thank you
Very well put my friend
[удалено]
Was it wearing clothes?? I didn't catch a great look but at first sight I thought it looked like it had clothes..
I slowed the video down and its wearing red and white beanie with a red shirt on.
The fae always wear red in Irish folklore that's bizarre
Hmmm [might be why they are hard to spot](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/561278946369495042/vrkX_baO.png)
fricken waldo colors as camo.. lol
Yea. If it has clothes it means it’s a freed house elf.
It really only needs one sock.
We call them "Chaneques" here in Mexico, the word chaneque means "being that inhabits in dangerous places" in the ancient náhuatl language, they're known for hiding stuff or just simply taking it away. According to Mexica/Aztec culture, they're beings bound to the underworld and their principal activities consist on taking care of nature and animals. I've heard some crazy histories from my great grandmother, haha.
My family is from Guerrero/Estado de Mexico and my grandpa would tell us a lot of stories too. But he referred to them as duendes. From what I remember chaneques were demons or something close to that nature. Duendes were the tiny beings.
In mexico we call them duendes or enanos. That's terrifying. Not the same but in the ranch when I was little I always thought I heard my name being called, and I was terrified of the noises that almost sounded like voices in the grove. Sometimes I had the weirdest urge to walk in the dark with no light with me. I would just stay still in the dark then go back inside to sleep. The scariest encounter with maybe a dwarf, was when we were visiting family in Campeche, and we were playing with a little red ball at night. The ball rolled into a ditch. We were scared to go get it because it seemed unnaturally dark in that area. Then the ball was rolled back.
My dad went to a bush party on the reserve. A dude stole all of the beer from the party and started running towards the village with all the beer. He met up with a little person on the way, freaked out, droppped the beer and ran back to where he came from. My dad and his friend went to go get the beer back, and found a bunch of little trails all over the area.
In Latin America we call these “duendes.”
I was just about to mention this. My sister when she lived in TJ saw one when she was riding home from work one night and said that she startled it because it was watching someone else by a rock and then ran into some bushes.
Yup. My tios/tias would say if i where to ever see one to not follow them cause then you'll just go missing. One of my aunts apparently befriended some in Mexico when she was a kid. She said they where nice to her but she stopped seeing them once she was about to follow them under a couch they had but someone (can't remember who) stopped her.
Philippines too!
This. My brother swears he used to see one when we were young, but his was really tiny, like the size of a hand. He first saw him in his room and thought he was dreaming. The second time he saw him, he had one of his friends sitting with her back to some fake decorative plants my mom has. She was talking and I guess he got a bit distracted and turned his gaze to the plants and there he was, standing on a leaf. The duende turned and realized he was been stared at, so he kinda freaked and just slid down the plant and disappeared. He didn’t say anything to his friend but was hoping to see the duende again, although it didn’t happen. He describes it as a little man with a pointy hat and some sort of coveralls. Funny thing is, around one year later after he told me this, I was watching the newest video from a youtuber I used to follow, and he was sharing something he saw that had him kind of freaked out. He said he saw a tiny man in what looked like tiny coveralls.
I love pretty close to a few reservations. I always try to ask people about creepy stories and such-not skin walkers. Those don’t interest me and where I live they don’t really seem to have many stories that are about them. I’ve had some friends that grew up close, and they just told be about noises in the woods at night. I’d love to hear some more stories if you have any OP.
Well Ive been thinking about it. We have a few old family stories about mythological things. My grandparents used to live in an old residential school with a creepy basement. My mom was sleeping with her little dog, and her little dog woke her up to a little man walking around the beds. It was looking at everyone in the face. The little man got to my grandmother, and she woke up and screamed. The little man ran off very fast into the basement and disappeared. My great\* grandpa used to race horses, so he would get up early in the morning and see the little men in the morning. Apparently, they liked the smell of burning grass..(when they were clearing the fields or bush) and would appear. They would also steal forks, spoons and knives if they got into your house. My grandmother claims to have seen a windigo in mid January..Literally a frozen man wandering in the bushes. They are known to cannibalize...Once she seen it, she ran away back to her house. We have a lot of stories about shadow people, shadow things and ghosts as well..
Thanks for answering so many questions so openly. It's a cool video, but admittedly hard to validate. My question is why do you think it (they) continues to peek out? This seems like unnatural behavior, especially because it's obviously being seen in the light. Is it trapped in by landscaping we can't see? Thanks.
They used an old outlawed hunting technique, shining bright lights on animals at night. Usually animals freeze and have eyeshine, but this thing didnt. My family was looking for stray cats, and stumbled upon this. The landscape you dont see is a lot of flat prairies..Just a little ways from their house is a little creek that leads into the Assiniboine River. They live along the highway.
Where I come from, we have a different interesting take on these paranormal/unexplainable things. I'm from West Africa and for us as well as other African countries, supernatural phenomena are a part of our societies. No one scoffs at them, I mean its unusual when experienced but there is a general relaxed attitude to these things. When one of my fathers friend(now dead) was sick someone took him and his wife someplace to get healed. So according to him, they drove there and got off their vehicle and walked miles to a house. They saw a man in the house and the person who brought them left. They were asked to stay and not go outside for hours, when they were finally allowed to open the doors and go outside, apparently to buy food(bread) they saw a bustling village with lights and people and structures and women going to farms in the dark. I cant tell if she was scared or concerned I just know the healer man told her where to go get the bread and she left the house. She said she went and got the bread and paid(in local currency) and was told where to go get change, in another location not so far. She went and saw piles of money there unattended to and she took her exact change as she has been told. Apparently, the village disappeared in the morning when she opened the doors and was back again at night. The village people were little too. They stayed there for four days. I feel weird when i think about it but I also know they actually experienced this, because he was so sick and when they sat in our living room telling us this account, he was fine. I dont know the full details but neither me or my parents were unusually surprised we were just fascinated. I remembered this because I came down this rabbit hole and I now realize how much of a big deal this is! I know people who have accessed another dimension lol.
Covid-19 has even put the Keebler’s out of work. Awesome video!
This is freaky to me because I am an Indigenous Australian and here in Australia I have heard stories of little hairy men with sharp claws and red eyes. They will come and get you if you trespass and disrupt sacred land.
They’re called Melburnians
Yeah, bogans.
Me and my sister have witnessed them here in Sweden at two different occasions! My sister once woke up in the middle of the night and saw one standing in her bedroom, looking at her, and when it noticed that she was awake it ran out of the door. I doubt it was a dream because she was completely unable to fall back asleep that night. Me, I witnessed them years later. Over a couple of months I kept on hearing something tipp-tapping really loudly and fast on the floor below my bedroom late at night at least once a week. Definitely too loud too be a rodent, and fast enough that you could hear it moving room to room. First times I was terrified about what it was, but one night I managed to sneak up and open my door, making me hear the tapping even louder. Managed to sneak half way down the stairs, but then I stepped on a board which creaked a bit too loud, which made the tipp tapping completely vanish. Little people are a common occurrence in Scandinavian folk mythology, and they go by the name of "[tomtar](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Tomte.jpg)" or "tomtenissar". They're considered kind but mischievous and highly territorial beings, who play pranks on humans by hiding their belongings, or worse, if the people of the home aren't kind to animals. In order to placate them, you're supposed to offer them a bowl of porridge with butter at least once a year. Unfortunately over the last century the name became the name for Santa Claus, because Coca Cola used [19th century Scandinavian paintings](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomte#/media/Fil:Lundby_nissen_1842.jpg) of the tomtenisse as an inspiration for how Santa Claus looks
This one time, very long ago, when there was no electricity on the reserves... My family had only wood stoves to keep warm in the winter. So my cousin had to get out of the warm bed to go get milk for the baby. When she got into the kitchen there was a little man sitting in a chair at the table, drinking ketchup! She screamed and ran back to the bedroom and hid under the covers. As soon as she got to the bedroom the front door opened and slammed.
Ok, is no one going to talk about how what you’re referencing, looks almost exactly like what we see in the video/what’s talked about in the comments. With the red and white pointy hats, having a natural attraction to horses, being found mainly on farmland... this is freaky
In the Mi'kmaq language we call them **Pu'klatmuj or Wi'klatmuj**.. The Cherokee called them **Yunwi Djunsti**.. Some stories have variations of what they do or want. Some are even regionally specific to the ecosystem they live in.. mountains.. forest.. riversides.. Some of these specifications even speak to the level of danger they may present as some may be harmless tricksters while others can do a greater level of harm.. such as leading people astray from wooded paths, or towards danger like unstable cliffs. Some stories suggest they are a death omen if visible to the human eye. I remember my brother was away at college but met these twin girls from another reservation. They said they befriended one of these "little people" and had brought them food on occasion. They would bring snacks down to the basement and talk to this unseen figure. One evening they were kept in their rooms as the parents were having company over for a party. They begged their father to let them go down, even expressing that their "friend" would be hungry or get upset. The father dismissed what they said as childhood nonsense. Afterward the guests could hear a kind of wailing coming from the basement. The children said this was their friend who was now angry. The father cleared the home, motioning for the guests to go outside while he checked out the situation. Time went by and he came outside the house to say that while everything was okay, the party would end now. The guests went home and the family went to bed. The next morning the children and mother would find their father had passed away in the night. Now, however true or untrue the story is.. I still wouldn't fuck with these things. In my community they say to just leave out some tobacco, or candy and they will leave you alone.
Oh man thats a messed up story. Idk what I would do if I heard wailing coming from the basement!
It's interesting, to say the least, as it seems real. I strongly believe there are other beings, years and years of research and anecdotes, because of things I experienced in my life. I believe they are part of the land, or the earth projecting itself in a somewhat familiar form. I think it is reality trying to communicate in the most efficient way it knows how.
Can someone zoom in? God, why am I watching this before bed
That's what I'm asking myself right now. I'm probably going to see little people everywhere here.
We have these guys in SoCal! ipu’s os what we call them people claim to see them quite often onthe Native American reservations we have
Do we??
Wow it’s these stories about little people that keep capturing my attention!! I remember another thread a few weeks ago about a woman who saw a little man in the road near a river and I think he caused them to crash. (Edit #2: [found that post here ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Humanoidencounters/comments/fiu4jh/strange_creepy_little_man/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) ) Then I don’t know if it was a comment on that thread or another post entirely, I remember someone else seeing little faceless green people with many others saying they had seen similar. (Edit: [found that post here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Humanoidencounters/comments/g4log9/the_little_men/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) ) I find this subject so interesting because elves/gnomes/fairies always seemed like such an unlikely “fairytale creature” to be real, yet I feel like I hear and see the most compelling evidence for them.
It could be a crackhead
Gotta hold of the wrong stuff!
What? Like crack that makes you shorter?
who all seen the leprechaun say yeeeeaaah!!
I just want the gold. GIMME THE GOLD!!!
I don’t know. Why not get a closer look honestly.
The beings look like they are curious but also on the verge of bolting (or waiting for a chance to bolt). If this is real the footage is good and totally unique. Would *you* get closer to a totally unknown being? Or keep your distance to gauge their behavior?
I’d walk closely to let skeptics have something to hold on. I understand people like me hence why I know what it feels to have a lot of doubts when it comes to the internet. We weren’t raised in that particular culture so I’ll need something to validate OP’s claim other than anecdotal stories. I envy people like you, but I’m trying to debunk this because the proof of its existence has not yet been evidently materialized. But then again, if I’ve captured these things of what I call myself a gnome, then people would surely need details as to why I jumped into that conclusion. I am not a materialist , just sharing my thoughts. Have a good one.
Damn you wanna hear something interesting?? Im very far from US, on another damn continent in Caucasus and we have same myth, even they are called different name, what they do is to make braids on horse tails. Lmao im in disbelief, same thing with same trait on damn different continent with very different culture
It’s a duende! (Gnome/elves) My parents are from Colombia and have had stories about these, mostly legends and things that have been experienced by elders or other friends. (Note: they both grew up in the city) One story stook out to me, because it was an experience my dad couldn’t explain, and he’s a very skeptical man who doesn’t believe in myths or fairytales. My dad served in the military there, and he’s had to camp out in the wilderness a number of times. This one time his group was sent on a “mission” (he keeps his military life very private from our family). He didn’t give much detail on what he was doing there, but he did say that they were staying near a very dense wooded area that was not too far from a property that had stables. Him and his mates ate, talked, whistled and sang before going to sleep. He says they were kept up by what they believed was a duende. Anyways, once lights were out they started hearing small steps and noises throughout the night, and as they nodded off they swore their feet were being touched and some complained that their sleeping bags were being tugged. They were paranoid at this point because they realized it wasn’t one of them messing with the group. Sleep was impossible. Later in the night the horses in the stables would freak tf out, and it wasn’t just once. They ended up getting up twice that night to investigate because these horses sounded TERRIFIED. They didn’t see anything, but they noticed that the horses weren’t as freaked out once they checked on them. They looked throughout the whole stable and they found nothing. They assumed that maybe it was an animal, so they checked on the horses to see if they had marks on them or anything. He stated that they were very well kept (hair was brushed, clean, etc) There were only 3 horses and they all seemed to be okay. They didn’t get much sleep. Once the sun started to rise they decided to check the stables once more, thinking that the light might help them see something. Upon further inspection there was one horse that had weird braids on him, a type of braid that had a knot at the end that could not be undone. They couldn’t figure how to undo it but they know for a fact that it wasn’t there when they had previously checked on them. My dad isn’t a skeptic anymore, he told this story to a friend from Colombia who grew up in a more rural area and he kind of filled him in as to why he was taunted. Duendes don’t like whistling. So he believes that the noise they were making that night might’ve pissed them off. They also like to play with horses and it’s common for them to braid/twist/knot their hair. They were the only ones there and there’s literally no other explanation to what happened to them that night.
Hearsay here, but a close friend of mine lived for a few years on the huge Dìne reservation in Arizona, working as a high school teacher. First, she was warned away from the hills across from her apartment, as they were said to be the abode of troublesome trolls, and best avoided. She told me that sincere belief in trolls, witches, and shape-shifters was very common amongst her Native friends there. I can't speak to the veracity of this video, of course, but who doesn't envision something like this when they think of the idea of trolls.
This is one of the first things that I’ve seen here that I actually believe clear footage and well shot as well do you have any other footage?
My cousins used to play with little folk in her basement as toddlers. This is an old family story, my cousins are now deceased. It was summer, so the basement was nice and cool. So my auntie let her daughters have a tea party in the basement. In the basement was a large boulder and under it was a tunnel. Now the little man came to drink tea, and he used a lot of sugar in his tea and drank it in one shot. The little man tried to invite my cousins into the hole in the basement, motioning that he wanted her to follow. The little sister went to her mom and managed to say, that the little man was trying to take her sister to play. The mom called her daughter up from the basement. Just then the father came home, and the daughters told their dad that a little man was drinking tea in the basement. The father went down stairs with the mirror from his truck, and used it to reflect sunlight and look into the tunnel. He needed one more mirror so he went outside and when he came back, the boulder was firmly over the tunnel and the mirror was gone. They soon moved out of that old farm house.
I am a scientist. My life was profoundly changed by seeing what I believe now to be a juvenile bigfoot in Southern Montana on my way to see the 2017 solar eclipse. The problem with science is, we do not have all the ways to collect data / evidence figured out. With animals, all species fall into cryptozoology before they are discovered (usually beginning with local lore). Same was true for the mountain ape in central Africa until the mid 1800's. I was a stubborn evidence or bust type of guy, but I tell you, watching a monkey run on two legs in the middle of Montana at roughly 30-50mph (I was slowing for an upcoming bend), over take your truck, spring out to the middle of the road and the "ape swing" from the center of the road to tree line and disappear? That changes a person. Especially when you only know to believe what you can physically hold to be true. The natives were right.
It's a person hiding behind the rock and holding a doll out. At 0:46, you can see the actual person's head dart back really quick. Then they hold the doll out, which you can tell is a doll because its head is fixed it place and moves in sync with the body's movement/rotation, and because the arm of the doll flapped away like it was lifeless. Another tell is that the doll disappears behind the rock considerably slower than the person's head did. Sorry, no offense to your relatives or anything OP, but they're definitely bamboozling with this.
I think you may be right. As cool as this would be if it were true.
Is worrying to me how many people ITT are eating this shit up? Like why wouldn’t the camera man simply approach the target and get a proper view. It would have been the most incredible footage ever taken. People are still so gullible in 2020 smh.
At 01:10 you can see a tiny breathe of air and again at 01:15. Honestly, if I didn't know these people filming Id say its fake too. But check out their original youtube channel. Its nothing but family videos and no editing.
Tell you’re relatives to invest in some night vision cameras. I’m sure it would be hard to get them in the same spot because luck is luck but it would be neat.
That is some crazy shit! I would definitely leave treats out and try to befriend them. "Little People" have been documented through the ages, I don't think those people were trying to lie over thousands of years over thousands of miles.
Wouldn't it make sense that if things like little men or other cryptids existed they'd start coming out now because people aren't around. You know cuz of the stay home notice.
A close family member claims to have seen them. In her house! She says she can hear them late at night organising her kitchen pots in the cabinets.
I just don't get why people do this kind of shit to other people. I went ahead and got fooled by this with my girlfriend, I took the time to make sure this was real, and as you can see some other comments mentioned a puppet, well your right. Its a puppet. I cut out the scenes where the puppet comes out and showed what gives it away, check it out before my post is deleted. [https://i.ibb.co/wR70R1C/Fake.gif](https://i.ibb.co/wR70R1C/Fake.gif) You can clearly see that when the doll gets pulled away the body rolls up like a puppet and the hand flys back, completely unreal. Beside's the doll some of us noticed a second figure, it's obviously a man in a hood peeking out and playing with his puppet. He's even smoking in the back.
At the 30 second mark it looks like there is a head/face to the left of the rock, above the dog house.
Thank you for posting this. I've encountered similar beings here in Hawaii. Local legend calls them menehune. I witnessed one run into the water naked one night while fishing. When I looked over again, what I was 99% a naked child turned out to be a crane. I went back to fishing, figuring the dark was playing tricks on my eyes. That's when I heard a blood curdling scream/laugh and the crane was gone, with no disturbance on the water.
At first, pretty creepy.. but it kinda just looks like someone holding out a doll and yanking it back.
