In the world of paranormal researchers, few things seem as strange as the stories of encounters with real gnomes.
But sometimes people say that they saw gnomes in their classic form - small, in pointed hats, straight from a fairy tale. All this sounds ridiculous enough, given that such gnomes are still considered mythological creatures. And yet the number of stories about meeting with such gnomes is steadily increasing. Most often, encounters with these creatures occur in Central and South America, where they are known as duende.
So, in the summer of 2008, a team of workers in Buenos Aires, engaged in cutting trees, had to prune the branches of a century-old eucalyptus. They grew so much that they began to pose a danger to the nearby highway. The branches had to be cut so that only short stumps remained of some of them.
Soon after the work was completed, numerous witnesses began to report that they saw small creatures in brown robes that emerged from the tree, lined up and went towards a nearby library for unknown purposes, among which there was hardly any reading of classical literature. first on the list.
Locals claimed that some trees growing near a certain section of the road had been the source of many strange phenomena for a long time. Near these trees and in their branches, creatures like gnomes or elves were seen. It was believed that the creatures were angry that the trees in which they lived had been harmed. Another story of a meeting with gnomes that came from South America was recorded by the explorer Albert Rosales and happened in November 1996 in the Chilean Casablanca.
A group of local students then ran into a procession of small people. The creatures were dressed in brightly colored robes. After realizing that they were noticed, they immediately hid in the bushes and trees. They looked timid, trying not to be seen. Only one of them, dressed in black, was more aggressive than the others. He ran towards the students, shouting, throwing stones at them and forcing them to retreat. The other gnomes, dressed in white, green and red, even waved their hands, beckoning the students, and looked rather peaceful.
South America is not the only place where such creatures are found. In March 2003, a Houston resident's dog ran, chasing someone across the spacious grounds near the house. The owner of the dog first decided that a wild animal or a stray cat could be the victim of his dog. When the man ran up to understand what had made his dog so angry, he saw a small humanoid creature in a pointed hat with a white beard. The man panicked, barricaded himself with the dog in the house and watched the creature eat from the bird feeder. In Texas, there were also coincidences, when UFOs were observed in the sky on the same night, and gnomes dressed in pointed hats were on the ground.
