Lucky b*st*rd.
Could these sightings be dwarfs or midgets who have hidden out from public view after being teased and tormented, and perhaps formed family groups in some cases? The Spanish court and other royalties sometimes kept dwarfs as court jesterss and the like.
+My neighbor has a garden gnome. I visit her yard once in a while at night and move it to a new spot
LOL I have gnomes in my flower garden (last fall Michael’s craft store was selling all their summer garden gnomes for 75% off, and my daughter spent all of her spending money on a flock/herd/gaggle of the little buggers)...our dear daughter rearranges them on a regular basis...last time I noticed, a few of them were having a tea party under a Cosmos...the hubby made the mistake of saying it looked like Poker Night in Gnomeland. The glare he got from our sweet little girl...LOL
What I want to know is: why would a “German” gnome— complete with lederhosen— choose to haunt a farm in Missouri or anywhere else outsode of Europe? I mean, was there a mushroom famine we don’t know about that sent all these gnome immigrants to the New World? Of all the pictures I’ve seen of Ellis Island, I can’t say as that I’ve seen an actual gnome. Just sayin’.
The followers of those X-Files, the true believers, would say that these types of paranormal entities are not biological in the conventional sense nor bound to the geography and cultures of human society in the same way. Although "gnomes" would tend to appear where there are people of German, Swiss, or Austrian ancestry, leprechauns where those from Ireland or the British Isles live, elves for Scandinavians and Icelanders (devas or Rakshasas where Hindus or those from India are). More like a haunting from the astral realm. Even without too many shots of Jägermeister.
The banshee, on the other hand, crosses many cultures and costumes.
Why would you want to move her garden?
Yep. Works for me.
He’s also unlikely to chop ya up and throw you into the Nile, or devour your heart. Some of those jokers had *no* sense of humor. :’)
Me, living in a closet??? The very idea . . .
