6:09
[SPEAKER_03]: And just like that, we're back, we are back.
6:15
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's the holiday season, holocult.
6:19
[SPEAKER_03]: So I was thinking about, you know how we did the same in encounters?
6:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
6:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Thinking about revisiting that.
6:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe do a part two if I can find some good stuff.
6:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
6:27
[SPEAKER_03]: But that led me down a little rabbit hole of people seeing elves.
6:37
[SPEAKER_00]: What's your kind of like, nooms?
6:39
[SPEAKER_00]: So I definitely get behind that.
6:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I wonder what the difference in an elephant and noom is.
6:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Good question.
6:47
[SPEAKER_00]: The both were little hats, both little.
6:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, both mischievous, up to no limit.
6:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah.
6:55
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, that's what I'm going to go in.
6:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I found some accounts on Reddit where people be saying something.
7:01
[SPEAKER_03]: But we're going to go through a little bit
7:06
[SPEAKER_03]: So according to Wikipedia, an elf is a type of humanoid supernatural being in Germanic folklore.
7:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Elves appear especially in North Germanic mythology being mentioned in the Icelandic poetic eta and the prosetta, which are these conglomerations of different poems from like, I don't know, way back when.
7:33
[SPEAKER_03]: So in medieval German-speaking cultures, elves were thought of as beings with magical powers, supernatural beauty, and blivalent toward everyday people incapable of either helping or hindering them.
7:46
[SPEAKER_03]: Beliefs varied considerably over time in space and flourished in both pre-Christian and Christian cultures.
7:51
[SPEAKER_03]: The word elf,
7:53
[SPEAKER_03]: is found throughout the Germanic languages.
7:55
[SPEAKER_03]: It seems originally to have meant white being, however, reconstructing the early concept depends largely on what text was written, whether it be old English, Middle English, Christian medieval German, German, you know how things get, they just kind of take their own twist.
8:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Elves are very socially associated with Norse gods of mythology, as well as causing illness with magic and beauty and seduction.
8:26
[SPEAKER_03]: After the medieval period, the word elf becomes less common throughout Germanic languages, losing out to the terms war, which it means a dwarf in German and holdro, which means hitting hidden being in North Germanic languages.
8:40
[SPEAKER_03]: belief in elves persisted into early modern period, particularly in Scotland and Scandinavia, where elves were thought of as magically powerful.
8:48
[SPEAKER_03]: People living usually invisibly alongside human communities.
8:52
[SPEAKER_03]: They continued to be associated with causing illness and with sexual threats.
8:56
[SPEAKER_03]: For example, several early modern ballads in the British Isles in Scandinavia, originating in the medieval period describes elves as attempting to seduce or abduct human characters.
9:08
[SPEAKER_03]: So kind of all throughout history, they've kind of had a dichotomy of where they're either very helpful or they're not real great.
9:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
9:22
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't seem like they're doing a lot of toy building.
9:25
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
9:25
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
9:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Santa had to come in and set him straight.
9:30
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd say.
9:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of the earliest surviving manuscripts mentioning elves in any Germanic language are from the Anglo-Saxon England, medieval elves, or medieval English evidence has therefore attracted quite an extensive research into bait, elves are most often mentioned in medical texts, which attest to the belief that elves afflict humans and livestock with illness, apparently mostly sharp internal pains and mental disorders.
9:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Awesome.
10:00
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't even know what he is.
10:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I, my faith history is lacking.
10:04
[SPEAKER_03]: So diving into this, I'm like, oh man.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just going to make you slow.
10:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
10:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry, believe in elves as a cause of illness remained prominently and early Scotland, or prominently in early modern Scotland where elves were viewed as supernaturally powerful people who lived invisibly alongside everyday rule people.
10:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Thus elves were often mentioned in the modern Scottish witchcraft trials.
10:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Many witnesses in the trials believed themselves to have been given healing powers, or to know if people or animals made sick by elves.
10:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Throughout these sources, elves sometimes are associated with sucky bis-like supernatural beings called a mayor.
10:41
[SPEAKER_03]: So I looked up a mayor and a mayor is a malicious entity in Germanic and Slavic folklore that sits, walks, or rides on people's chest while they sleep, bringing on nightmares.
10:52
[SPEAKER_03]: when placed on a victim's chest that is said to be said to have a suffocating effect and can lead to cold sweats or sleep paralysis.
10:59
[SPEAKER_03]: It's often a female being with magical abilities for haunting its victims, including the ability to shape shift.
11:06
[SPEAKER_03]: So basically like the old hag.
11:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was thinking that too whenever.
11:13
[SPEAKER_00]: You were talking about them earlier about them being seductive.
11:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I said, man, they're like a bunch of little monkey by and come and find out they actually are.
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I got a little more history here and there's nothing I wouldn't have expected that from elves either.
11:30
[SPEAKER_00]: No, once I started way left field.
11:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, once I started getting into the history, I'm like, this is.
11:37
[SPEAKER_03]: It's weird, it's weird.
11:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Also appearing in medical texts, the old English word, elf, and its feminine derivative, L-B-N, were used in glosses to translate Latin words for nymphs.
11:51
[SPEAKER_03]: This fits well with the word elf sign, which means elf beautiful, and it is attested describing the seductive, beautiful biblical heroines, Sarah, and Judith.
12:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Elf Beauty.
12:08
[SPEAKER_00]: That's weird.
12:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so it's the lore of whatever these creatures are are like ingrained in a lot of different cultures.
12:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Likewise, in middle English and early modern Scottish evidence while still appearing as causes of harm and danger elves appear clearly as human-like beings, they become associated with medieval shivalrych romance tradition of fairies, particularly the idea of a fairy queen.
12:40
[SPEAKER_03]: It has the propensity to seduce or assault for lack of a better term.
12:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
12:49
[SPEAKER_03]: People and becomes increasingly prominent in the source material.
12:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Around the 15th century, evidence starts to appear for the belief that elves might steal human babies and replace them with changelings, which we've heard before.
13:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it's almost like the elves are, the fay is our version of elves.
13:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like like they, you know, yeah, well, it's just a change.
13:16
[SPEAKER_00]: It might be this, yeah, it might be the same thing.
13:18
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just, we kind of instead of calling them elves.
13:21
[SPEAKER_00]: We call them the fairies and feel like that.
13:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Whereas they, they would just call them elves.
13:28
[SPEAKER_03]: This part right here, I found really, really interesting.
13:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it that they're all part of the occult?
13:36
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
13:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so that's surprising.
13:41
[SPEAKER_03]: It's, it's, I mean, I don't know, I don't know why it just sits so, so strange for me.
13:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Like words for gods and men, the word elf is used in personal names and proper nouns.
13:57
[SPEAKER_03]: where words for monsters and demons are not, these names suggest that elves were positively regarded in early Germanic culture.
14:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Of the many words for supernatural beings in Germanic languages, the only ones regularly used in personal and proper names and nouns are elf and words denoting pagan gods, suggesting that elves were considered to be held in the same light or similar to gods.
14:24
[SPEAKER_00]: That's weird.
14:26
[SPEAKER_03]: That's crazy.
14:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
14:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And one of the like new library more on what that context meant between them and demons, like the way their names are structured or whatever.
14:37
[SPEAKER_03]: So the the Germanic word for L if it's like A. E. L. F was used in people's actual names like like Alfred,
14:54
[SPEAKER_03]: No other superstitious supernatural beings were ever used in that context, like using a demon, a demon's name as a proper noun or a person's name.
15:08
[SPEAKER_03]: The only other being that was used would be gods.
15:13
[SPEAKER_03]: So they kind of fall in the same, like echelon as gods and men.
15:23
[SPEAKER_00]: There was a super deep seeded belief in that then.
15:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
15:27
[SPEAKER_03]: So they were regarded.
15:28
[SPEAKER_00]: I say to you using people's names like that has value.
15:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
15:33
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean to the parents.
15:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, regarded it in like, it's almost like it's a powerful kind of thing.
15:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Like they were super regarded.
15:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, and it's also crazy too, because back in the day of many cultures,
15:55
[SPEAKER_00]: People did choose names with meaning.
15:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we're asked today not so much.
16:01
[SPEAKER_03]: So some of the old English names, I didn't put them in my notes that came back to Wikipedia just because we were talking about it.
16:08
[SPEAKER_03]: Personal names provide evidence of elf in these cultures, such as names of elf wine, which means elf friend, elf Rick, which is elf powerful, elf read, which is elf guardian, elf rural, which is elf care,
16:27
[SPEAKER_03]: a widespread survivor of these in modern English is the name Alfred, which is came from Alfred, which means Elf advice.
16:37
[SPEAKER_03]: So there are even today names that still have the precursor of Elf built into them.
16:46
[SPEAKER_03]: Wild, pretty crazy enough with all the history lesson though.
16:52
[SPEAKER_03]: We know
16:56
[SPEAKER_03]: So I've dug up quite a few here from Reddit that I'm going to share with you guys.
17:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I said, they come from Reddit.
17:05
[SPEAKER_03]: So I do with that information as you will.
17:08
[SPEAKER_03]: This first one was posted to the paranormal board by a editor by the name of Vanessa.
17:16
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's titled my family's encounter with elves slash ferries in South America.
17:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so me and my family are from Bolivia, specifically La Paz, and Cococobamba.
17:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you had it right.
17:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
17:31
[SPEAKER_00]: It's grown right.
17:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Cocaine.
17:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
17:34
[SPEAKER_03]: There are very beautiful spiritual areas to say the least.
17:38
[SPEAKER_03]: My mom has told me stories about her childhood, and now she often would see Ferries and Elves in her backyard, and that was very common in the area she lived in, like a well-known secret amongst the locals.
17:49
[SPEAKER_03]: The one thing that isn't a secret, though, is to leave them alone if you see them because a lot of scary stuff can happen.
17:56
[SPEAKER_03]: She said children have gone missing for days and coming back confused along with people getting terribly ill.
18:03
[SPEAKER_03]: But it only happens if you try to mess with these beings.
18:06
[SPEAKER_03]: One particular story for my grandmother is that when she was in her 20, she was near a tree in her backyard.
18:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Doing something, when suddenly she looked at the tree
18:18
[SPEAKER_03]: leprechaun slash elf looking thing.
18:21
[SPEAKER_03]: She was very adamant that it was not a child or a small disfigured adult, but it was something not of this world.
18:28
[SPEAKER_03]: His face looked old, but he was super energetic because she said it was hopping around and it was humming a tune.
18:35
[SPEAKER_03]: It was about two feet tall.
18:37
[SPEAKER_03]: She was honestly terrified so she began quietly walking backwards to the house, so she could keep the elf still in her eyesight.
18:46
[SPEAKER_03]: As she did, the elf kind of glanced her way and then screamed behind the tree and just vanished.
18:51
[SPEAKER_03]: I promise I have the most normal family ever, no mental illness, no drug or alcohol addictions, because I know that's what people are mostly going to assume with my story.
19:03
[SPEAKER_03]: So in the comments section, someone posted a similar thing that they had happened in Malaysia, which is interesting because it has a connection with our four-capisode.
19:19
[SPEAKER_03]: You remember that way back when, if you guys haven't listened to it, it's well, yeah.
19:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
19:24
[SPEAKER_03]: one, you need to go listen to that right now.
19:26
[SPEAKER_03]: What the fork?
19:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Then you're going to start counting yourself where because the failure stealing them.
19:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I guarantee it.
19:32
[SPEAKER_00]: It's guaranteed.
19:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody's losing somewhere.
19:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, this, this editor in the comment section says, I'm from Malaysia and we have similar beings.
19:41
[SPEAKER_03]: We have the Orang Bernian, Boneyan, Boneyan.
19:47
[SPEAKER_03]: So I looked this up because they didn't like specify.
19:50
[SPEAKER_03]: So I found the wiki on the Boneyan or Orang Boneyan people are supernatural being said to be invisible to most humans, except those with quote, spiritual sight.
20:01
[SPEAKER_03]: while the term is often translated to elves, it literally translates to hidden people or whistling people.
20:09
[SPEAKER_03]: A ring boonion, our described as beautiful dress, beautifully beautiful, dressed in ancient Southeast Asian style, and nearly identical to humans in appearance.
20:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Some mythological accounts describe them with a lack of a filtrum.
20:24
[SPEAKER_03]: I looked up a filtrum and it's this little, this little divot we have right here in our
20:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Apparently they don't have those.
20:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Just flat.
20:34
[SPEAKER_00]: That's weird.
20:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
20:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Modern depictions of a rang boonian deviate from traditional folklore by including elf-like features such as pointy ears, high fantasy influenced attires, or modern.
20:49
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to butcher this cause.
20:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to love it.
20:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Minning Cabal long clothing.
20:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
20:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're they are height.
21:00
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm assuming, yes, they said they have human-like and appearance.
21:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if they were smaller not.
21:08
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
21:10
[SPEAKER_03]: This specific one in Malaysia.
21:13
[SPEAKER_00]: But because we always assume them as small, and when you hear of, because they, I mean, everything so far is just kind of pointed to that whole they realm.
21:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
21:23
[SPEAKER_03]: But if they can shape shift,
21:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Also true.
21:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Like you probably do it over there.
21:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, definitely.
21:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Good boy.
21:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I just added this because I found this part interesting.
21:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Because she's talking about the orang boonian.
21:33
[SPEAKER_03]: She says back in the day when people who still live in villages, humans in these elf beings had a treaty.
21:39
[SPEAKER_03]: People can borrow cutlery from them for big parties and functions as long as they are returned.
21:45
[SPEAKER_03]: There's also cases of children and men going missing and reappearing because they sometimes like to steal men for marriage.
21:52
[SPEAKER_03]: time also trends differently in their world, their stories of men returning years later to find all of their loved ones have gotten old and died.
22:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus.
22:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I love the irony too.
22:08
[SPEAKER_00]: You can borrow our somewhere that we just so happen to take from Steve's house.
22:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
22:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
22:19
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not trying to get abducted for an elf, an elf arranged marriage.
22:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, are you sure about that?
22:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Hmm.
22:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Not if they're just going to get rid of me and I come back here and all my friends are going to be dead.
22:35
[SPEAKER_00]: It does suck.
22:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Come back like it's only been three weeks in elf time and it's like 700 years in earth time.
22:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that would, that would melt your brain.
22:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you know, like, what was that show interstellar, where like you, they, they went like 20.
22:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Star Trek.
22:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Star Trek.
22:59
[SPEAKER_03]: You go like 25 minutes in the space.
23:01
[SPEAKER_03]: It's been like 780 years on earth.
23:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was interstellar.
23:06
[SPEAKER_00]: Soft.
23:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It is weird.
23:09
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it sounds almost like the same thing with the UFO shit about them being in their own little essentially dimension.
23:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
23:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was weird how it kind of crossed over to what we were talking about on the night shift last night.
23:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I wish, and I wish and I hope there are classified government documents on these things.
23:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I bet there is.
23:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope so.
23:34
[SPEAKER_03]: I bet there is.
23:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope so.
23:35
[SPEAKER_00]: We need access to that.
23:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we need somebody in the unnamed alphabet agencies to contact us.
23:44
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope that we get spam calls from the, yeah, the unnamed the, the government agencies that don't exist.
23:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and they're like, until until one of us answers, and they're like, we need you here now.
23:58
[SPEAKER_03]: We pick up the phone.
23:59
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to be like agent molder.
24:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's Steve.
24:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, they're going to be like, oh, that'll do It's the same thing.
24:08
[SPEAKER_00]: That'll do Steve Fox whatever.
24:12
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't matter Okay, the next one I found on Reddit Reddit is for the cesspool that Reddit can be it's got some cool
24:21
[SPEAKER_03]: some cool places out there.
24:23
[SPEAKER_03]: You can check out.
24:24
[SPEAKER_03]: This one's titled, did I meet an elf or was it something else?
24:29
[SPEAKER_03]: It's from, uh, I was on the paranormal board from seven years ago, the editor's name's Nina, and they say, so this happened to me when I was 10, but I was so shocked.
24:40
[SPEAKER_03]: I remember it vividly.
24:42
[SPEAKER_03]: My parents
24:45
[SPEAKER_03]: this time they'd brought me along.
24:47
[SPEAKER_03]: So this farmer's marker was held in the big parking lot and on the ground here and there were sort of metal gratings that you could see into the sewers.
24:55
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if you can picture it, but I could try finding you a picture.
24:58
[SPEAKER_03]: We all know what it is.
24:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I have an innate fear of dropping my car keys down these things.
25:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, just rain drains and shit.
25:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I know exactly what you're talking about.
25:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's that's my unnatural fear is dropping my car keys down.
25:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Isn't that weird as fuck, too?
25:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
25:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
25:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Like walk you walk over it and you like either pat your pockets for your phone and your keys or your you your holding them and you just grip them tighter.
25:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, it's it's terrible.
25:25
[SPEAKER_03]: It's so weird.
25:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to say the way you're talking about.
25:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, I was always scared of walking on them as a kid because I thought that I would fall in.
25:34
[SPEAKER_03]: But that day the market was full and there wasn't a lot of space to go around so I had to walk over them.
25:40
[SPEAKER_03]: As I did, I looked down and there was somebody down there looking back at me.
25:45
[SPEAKER_03]: He was small.
25:46
[SPEAKER_03]: He had pointy ears, but it's his eyes that I couldn't forget.
25:49
[SPEAKER_03]: They were golden and very shiny.
25:52
[SPEAKER_03]: I looked at him and he looked at me for what seemed like an eternity.
25:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I was so shocked that I just kept on walking.
25:59
[SPEAKER_03]: When we went back to the car, I told my parents.
26:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I told everybody, but nobody would believe me.
26:04
[SPEAKER_03]: To this day, nobody does.
26:06
[SPEAKER_03]: It has even become a running joke amongst my friends.
26:09
[SPEAKER_03]: So I stop talking about it all together.
26:11
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the first time I've told my story in a decade.
26:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Trust me, reading it is an adult now.
26:15
[SPEAKER_03]: I know it sounds crazy, corny and ridiculous, but it did happen.
26:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Has anybody ever had anything like this happen to them?
26:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Another thing, I know it's important, or I don't know if it's important, but his stare was chilling, and I knew that it wasn't good.
26:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Super elf.
26:32
[SPEAKER_00]: This sucks.
26:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
26:34
[SPEAKER_00]: There might be like a vampire.
26:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Rines me of a sewer elf.
26:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's dirty.
26:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I have another story of another elf in a sewer.
26:47
[SPEAKER_00]: That's weird.
26:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't expect the elves to hang out in the sewers.
26:51
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
26:51
[SPEAKER_00]: But I also highly attribute them to the North Pole.
26:55
[SPEAKER_03]: They're also dicks.
26:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously.
26:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And they hang out in dirty places.
27:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, what was the episode we just did not too long ago about the elf that we just a little asshole.
27:06
[SPEAKER_03]: He was a gnome.
27:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, same thing.
27:09
[SPEAKER_00]: It's gotta be the same thing.
27:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, although we say that in their prime as fuck.
27:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know.
27:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, dear elf.
27:21
[SPEAKER_03]: So a commenter in this thread also posted an interesting encounter.
27:27
[SPEAKER_03]: This is from Ritter, it was mine first.
27:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Also seven years ago on the paranormal board.
27:31
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't share this encounter much because it's kind of hard to believe.
27:35
[SPEAKER_03]: But one night, about 15 years ago, I was living with my ex-boyfriend at the time.
27:40
[SPEAKER_03]: I usually went to bed before him because I had to be at work at 6.30 in the morning.
27:44
[SPEAKER_03]: And he'd stay up and listen to music and mess around on the computer.
27:48
[SPEAKER_03]: I slept with the bedroom door open, and the main bathroom was right outside the bedroom door.
27:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, he apparently goes to use the bathroom and said he turned on the hall light and just happened to glance in the bedroom to see if I was asleep.
28:00
[SPEAKER_03]: As he walked into the bathroom, he said he saw something sitting on top of me.
28:04
[SPEAKER_03]: He backed up and looked again and told me it was a little elf or no-m-type creature sitting on me punching me in the face.
28:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Missile dropkick.
28:13
[SPEAKER_03]: dude in the face.
28:16
[SPEAKER_03]: He said he ran over and punched it.
28:19
[SPEAKER_03]: It looked at him, growled at him as it kept punching me.
28:23
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, it was throwing rapid-like punches as fast as it can into my face.
28:29
[SPEAKER_03]: He said he yelled at it, kicked it off of me, and it was gone.
28:33
[SPEAKER_03]: My boyfriend shook me awake asking me if I was okay.
28:36
[SPEAKER_03]: He was shook up himself.
28:38
[SPEAKER_03]: I said, yes, why?
28:39
[SPEAKER_03]: What is happening?
28:40
[SPEAKER_03]: Then he told me what happened.
28:42
[SPEAKER_00]: It was your face hurt.
28:44
[SPEAKER_03]: I was one of the questions that was asked on the thread.
28:46
[SPEAKER_03]: I told him he was seeing things and he said, no, it's bullshit.
28:51
[SPEAKER_03]: I know what I saw.
28:52
[SPEAKER_03]: It was sitting on you punching you in the face.
28:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Dude, that's amazing.
28:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Awesome.
28:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
28:58
[SPEAKER_03]: It growled to be after I kicked it off of you.
29:01
[SPEAKER_03]: It creeps me out now when I think about it.
29:03
[SPEAKER_03]: As far as I know, something like this has never happened again, but I don't, or, but I don't know.
29:08
[SPEAKER_03]: I have no reason to not believe him.
29:12
[SPEAKER_03]: I've had other experience of sorts, but since we're on elves, I had to share this one.
29:18
[SPEAKER_03]: When I found this, I'm like, how crazy is it that it lines up perfectly with the history of elves being associated with mayors, where they sit on your face.
29:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's crazy because one of the odds that this, like this person knew of that old
29:42
[SPEAKER_00]: and Kudos for him running over there and being trying to beat the fuck out of this thing.
29:47
[SPEAKER_03]: I just picture it like, I attribute it to like the scenes in like the first Chuckies, where he's just flailing his arms around like a little asshole.
29:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Do they have to be wild to say you fought in health?
30:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think pretty cool.
30:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I think when those things happen, you get kind of like a fight or fight or fight response kicks in.
30:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
30:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Like when I was camping with Maddox at the Boy Scout thing, whenever that thing was like trying to get into the tent to get the cookies, like it was trying to push through the,
30:27
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... material of the tent it woke me up some like what the fuck so all i did was just throw a fist at it and hit it whatever wasn't scampered off into the woods didn't even think you might have been an elf i don't know
30:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope so because that's a pretty cool notch on the belt there in my opinion that's I hope she I hope you kept old boy around because yeah you find a man that's gonna fight a supernatural being for you as a real one you're gonna hold them around keep yeah that's a real one okay the next one is from a year ago on the paranormal board from a editor called Time
31:10
[SPEAKER_03]: They say, I have chills down my spine writing this.
31:13
[SPEAKER_03]: This memory has been rooted in my head ever since I was about eight years old.
31:18
[SPEAKER_03]: This happened in Cox, Cove, Newfoundland.
31:21
[SPEAKER_03]: On the way to my grandparents' cabin, which was located in a little now ghost town, or a little known ghost town called Briggs, Cove, which was once inhabited many, many years ago.
31:30
[SPEAKER_03]: I was with my grandfather, mother, and brother.
31:35
[SPEAKER_03]: We were in my grandfather's little boat going to my grandfather's cab in which was only accessible by said boat when the tide was high and accessible by walking the salt water shore when the tides were low as we were floating along this along the salt water I caught a glimpse of a gnome looking elf thing it looked almost identical to a typical gnome standing on the rocky shore.
31:56
[SPEAKER_03]: in a naturally-made cave.
31:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't remember what exactly he was wearing, but it seemed like a red checkered jacket and a pointy hat.
32:06
[SPEAKER_03]: And he looked just curious and stared as we went along the water.
32:11
[SPEAKER_03]: All I could do was stare back.
32:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
32:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Something about it was just so confusing.
32:17
[SPEAKER_03]: And I really couldn't comprehend what I was looking at.
32:20
[SPEAKER_03]: But I didn't say anything to my mother and grandfather until we passed.
32:23
[SPEAKER_03]: When I finally brought it up, they just laughed and made me feel stupid for even bringing it up so I eventually just let it go.
32:29
[SPEAKER_03]: When we came back from the cabin, I looked for it again only to be disappointed and not finding it.
32:35
[SPEAKER_03]: I know what I've seen.
32:36
[SPEAKER_03]: I've never seen a ghost or anything close to that.
32:39
[SPEAKER_03]: But I know that I saw an elf slash gnome that day.
32:43
[SPEAKER_03]: If you look up Cox Cove Trail on Google, you can actually see the exact shoreline that I saw the gnome in.
32:51
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope I see a gnome someday.
32:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Those stories are pretty interesting.
32:55
[SPEAKER_00]: The ones where
33:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, where it's like, oh shit, I'm seeing that and they're seeing me.
33:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, almost like they're just as caught off guard, like, that it's looking at him like, myself slip on this one, right?
33:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
33:23
[SPEAKER_03]: I did, I did save the other sewer elf.
33:29
[SPEAKER_03]: That's crazy.
33:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Good to save our multiple sewer elves.
33:32
[SPEAKER_00]: It is crazy.
33:33
[SPEAKER_03]: That's my favorite part about diving in to like these weird cases is when you find pieces of the puzzle that like inner link that almost shouldn't exist out there.
33:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because like of the millions, hundreds of thousands of big foot reports, how many
33:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Can you imagine two big floats in a sewer?
34:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no.
34:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be a scary thing to be lurking around in the sewer.
34:08
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
34:09
[SPEAKER_03]: So this one is, I saw a Christmas elf in a sewer when I was younger.
34:16
[SPEAKER_03]: This writer says, this my sound ridiculous compared to some of the other posts here, but if it's Christmas time anyway, I decided to share this bizarre experience of mine with you all.
34:28
[SPEAKER_03]: It's 100% real, and I made this account specifically for this post so that you don't accuse me of farming karma.
34:35
[SPEAKER_03]: For nonreditors out there, karma is like likes.
34:38
[SPEAKER_03]: You guess, every time someone likes your stuff, you get a caramel point.
34:42
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's what he's saying there.
34:44
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't remember exactly how old I was at the time, but I was still in kindergarten.
34:49
[SPEAKER_03]: When my dad picked me up, we often used to stop by in a park on the way home.
34:54
[SPEAKER_03]: For a little context, my dad was and is a great man.
34:58
[SPEAKER_03]: When I was little around that same time, he used to make maps for trips.
35:02
[SPEAKER_03]: He used to make maps for treasures for me to find, and he would actually go hide some real treasures in and around the park, so I could find them.
35:09
[SPEAKER_03]: back to my story.
35:11
[SPEAKER_03]: We were in the park as usual and we were walking there and there was a sewer hole from which we were there was a sewer hole from which we're coming waves of steam.
35:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Almost as if it was a furnace.
35:24
[SPEAKER_03]: We were heading towards it and I remember my dad saying, look,
35:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe here is where Santa prepares his gifts for the good children.
35:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I laughed a little because around that time I already knew that Santa wasn't real.
35:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Then as we passed by the hole, I looked through the holes of the covering, and I saw a man wearing a weird triangular shaped hat.
35:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Everything happened so fast.
35:49
[SPEAKER_03]: I could barely see through the holes in the steam, but the man was sitting on a table and it looked as if he was riding something.
35:57
[SPEAKER_03]: When I saw him, I remember freezing for a little moment and there were many things going through my head.
36:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought either that was a real elf that my dad was telling me the truth or maybe it was a man hired by him for me to see.
36:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Just like he hit all the treasures.
36:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, I didn't tell him anything and he didn't say anything either.
36:16
[SPEAKER_03]: When we arrived home, I remember telling my grandma that I saw Christmas else in the park.
36:20
[SPEAKER_03]: She laughed and said, that's great.
36:23
[SPEAKER_03]: I knew she didn't believe me.
36:24
[SPEAKER_03]: My dad was also laughing.
36:26
[SPEAKER_03]: The following days I kept thinking about it, but with time I just went on with the idea that my dad told some him to dress up as an elf and jump into the sewer for me to see.
36:38
[SPEAKER_03]: a few years later I finally asked him about it and he said that he had never did this and asked me for more details about what I saw.
36:44
[SPEAKER_03]: I told him and he said that it was probably just my wild imagination with me being little.
36:49
[SPEAKER_03]: However, I know exactly what I saw and I remember it clearly to this day.
36:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I love I love the grandma's typical dismissive.
37:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, she's like shh whatever.
37:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we all know exactly what
37:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Just did have an update.
37:14
[SPEAKER_03]: So they said, I even went to the exact same park since then to inspect the area, but a lot has changed.
37:19
[SPEAKER_03]: The place looks totally different now, no walking path, no sewer hole, just playing grass.
37:24
[SPEAKER_03]: What's even weirder is that as years went by, whenever I remember that man, I start comparing him more and more with myself.
37:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I only saw him briefly and from behind, but I could see his hair had the same hair color and type just as mine.
37:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, his back looked a little like mine
37:44
[SPEAKER_03]: It's my sound, just me overthinking it, but it did resemble me as I got older.
37:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, this was my little story, whether you believe it or not.
37:53
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the second strangest thing that's ever happened to me.
37:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I wish I'd know the first, but yeah.
37:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently that didn't have anything to do with elves, but it is a new self-comperson's bizarre.
38:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Especially when you take into account the like
38:13
[SPEAKER_00]: There's also, it's, it's, it's an also offhand weird comment from the dad.
38:18
[SPEAKER_00]: He was like, hey, this may be this is where.
38:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, almost like he's pregnant.
38:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Fucking weird.
38:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
38:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Because that's how I check Santa Santa doesn't live in the sewer.
38:29
[SPEAKER_00]: No.
38:30
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't even know why that joke would be made.
38:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Pennywise lives in the sewers.
38:34
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
38:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Who's also a shape shifter?
38:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's weird.
38:39
[SPEAKER_03]: He might be a, a, a.
38:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Probably, I mean, I could see that who knows.
38:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I ain't trying to find out on that one.
38:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, me either.
38:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Me either.
38:52
[SPEAKER_03]: I got a few more here.
38:55
[SPEAKER_03]: This one was posted two years ago from a reddit or e-rock.
39:00
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know exactly what I saw, but I have had a similar experience.
39:05
[SPEAKER_03]: I was somewhere around 10 to 12 years old, and I was laying in bed.
39:09
[SPEAKER_03]: It was early in the morning.
39:11
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't remember all the details, but I heard movement at the foot of my bed.
39:14
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a tall bed, and there was a bookshelf from front of it.
39:17
[SPEAKER_03]: On the bookshelf, I had books, of course, but also some toys and art supplies.
39:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever was causing the noise was interested in a clear vinyl handled bag that was full of colorful plastic beads.
39:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I heard it rifling through the door,
39:31
[SPEAKER_03]: through the shelf to get to the bag.
39:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I could feel the presence in my room and see the very top of a shape.
39:39
[SPEAKER_03]: It didn't speak or make any other noises.
39:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I was terrified but finally got the courage to peek over as soon as I moved the bag of beads fell off the shelf and spilled onto the floor and the being disappeared.
39:51
[SPEAKER_03]: I only saw it for a fraction of a second so I can't give any sort of definitive description but I remember a sort of humanoid figure.
39:58
[SPEAKER_03]: but very short and stalky with a red triangular hat.
40:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't say 100% if it was a gnome, but it was something similar.
40:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I was freaked out and screamed for my mom, and I wouldn't get down from the bed for a while.
40:11
[SPEAKER_03]: I know this sounds absolutely insane.
40:14
[SPEAKER_03]: I barely believe it myself.
40:15
[SPEAKER_03]: It very well could have been my imagination, but the beads spontaneously being lifted off of the shelf and dumped on the floor is pretty weird.
40:27
[SPEAKER_00]: weirds kind of an understatement.
40:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
40:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It's definitely no me.
40:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
40:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I had no vibes.
40:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Also weird that it was fucking with the beans or beads, whatever it was.
40:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
40:43
[SPEAKER_03]: That seems like something to know would do like a little colorful things.
40:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
40:47
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, but also weird that like I hear
40:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
40:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe that's what they're doing.
41:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe they're stealing my silverware, forging them into little metal beans to drop in your house.
41:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, whatever.
41:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Another cool salt.
41:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to.
41:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm shit going on.
41:13
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't have time for that.
41:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no.
41:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, a little changing thing, or a salt thing.
41:21
[SPEAKER_03]: We're getting punched in the face.
41:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's not it.
41:25
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't handle that much in the face.
41:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Good.
41:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I don't handle getting punched in the face.
41:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's just rude.
41:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so it's not one of my favorite things.
41:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
41:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no.
41:39
[SPEAKER_03]: This one is from a redder named Cameron Josie from seven years ago.
41:43
[SPEAKER_03]: They said, this reminds me of when I was little.
41:46
[SPEAKER_03]: My grandpa, my dad and my brothers were going my grandpa's cabin at the lake for a few days.
41:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I was only five or six at the time.
41:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyways, when we arrived, it was around midnight.
41:55
[SPEAKER_03]: My grandpa and my dad each brought one of my brothers who were asleep inside the cabin.
42:00
[SPEAKER_03]: I was left inside the truck.
42:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I was really tired.
42:03
[SPEAKER_03]: So my dad came back out and picked me up to carry me inside.
42:07
[SPEAKER_03]: He pointed out toward the trees and said, look, little people in a whisper.
42:13
[SPEAKER_03]: As I looked out there, there were two tiny children.
42:16
[SPEAKER_03]: They couldn't have been more than a foot tall.
42:19
[SPEAKER_03]: One was a girl and one was a boy.
42:21
[SPEAKER_03]: I know the girl was blonde with pig tails and a pink dress.
42:25
[SPEAKER_03]: The boys wearing jeans and had a red pointed hat.
42:28
[SPEAKER_03]: They were walking into the woods with their backs facing us.
42:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Hardly anyone believed me when I tell them, but I distinctly remember it.
42:38
[SPEAKER_03]: This is so weird, Row.
42:40
[SPEAKER_03]: So weird as I love this.
42:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I love this.
42:42
[SPEAKER_00]: I love fake counters.
42:46
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's awesome.
42:48
[SPEAKER_03]: It's so nuts.
42:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I got too.
42:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy that the dad knew about it.
42:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Pointed it out.
42:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
42:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Just wild.
42:58
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, you, you, you would assume that from that reaction, he's had encounters with him before.
43:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like he knows that they exist out there in the woods.
43:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, he pointed it a mountain.
43:12
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, it's also crazy that a lot of cultures have that whole, like,
43:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't just leave them alone, walk away because I'm getting at you.
43:23
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm replaced you with a change of thing.
43:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
43:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, but you really don't have a much of an option of their punching your lady in the face.
43:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
43:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Or they abduct you and make you marry some elf queen.
43:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
43:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
43:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
43:37
[SPEAKER_03]: This.
43:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean.
43:38
[SPEAKER_03]: You think about this sound that bad?
43:40
[SPEAKER_00]: It's royalty.
43:41
[SPEAKER_03]: You have never ending supplies over where.
43:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So it is true.
43:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be
43:50
[SPEAKER_03]: They never going to run out.
43:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I got a couple more here.
43:54
[SPEAKER_03]: This one is a relatively newer one from 10 months ago, and humanoid encounters.
44:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
44:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Said when I was 10, I had the flu.
44:09
[SPEAKER_03]: but it felt extreme, almost like a barely lift my neck, like my head was the size of a cargo ship.
44:16
[SPEAKER_03]: In closing my eyes for just five minutes, I would wake up five hours later.
44:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Even if I wasn't tired and moving felt like I was carrying an elephant on me and fell in a few seconds.
44:28
[SPEAKER_03]: One time I was in my bed with my mother, because since I could barely speak and talk, I had to sleep with her because if I needed something or something bad would happen, she could sense it and help me get to the hospital.
44:39
[SPEAKER_03]: I woke up in the dead of a night and saw a bunch of elf-like creatures on my bed.
44:43
[SPEAKER_03]: They were, Jesus.
44:47
[SPEAKER_03]: They were building a small rocket.
44:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I could pass this off as a fever dream, but they were heavy when I tried to get up and their weight had pinned me down.
44:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Even though they were as tall as a needle, and they had green clothing on like a Christmas elf.
45:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Like the ones you see in Christmas media books and movies.
45:09
[SPEAKER_00]: They were as tall as a needle.
45:11
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what they said, even though they were as tall as a needle.
45:16
[SPEAKER_00]: That's even better build.
45:18
[SPEAKER_00]: I love I love they're fucking chest and the Space command Does this further push?
45:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Elves maybe aliens if they're building a space rocket.
45:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean I wouldn't rule it out Wouldn't rule it out Houston Steve just turned into Houston
45:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we have a problem.
45:47
[SPEAKER_03]: These elves are building rockets on my chest, which is better.
45:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, punch them in the face.
45:50
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
45:51
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
45:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Unless you get a burn mark when it takes off.
45:54
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
45:55
[SPEAKER_00]: That's like nobody likes burns.
45:57
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
45:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd really get punched in the burn.
46:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't expect that.
46:03
[SPEAKER_03]: I knew that I saved that story for a reason, but I didn't pre-read it.
46:06
[SPEAKER_03]: And then he said they were building a rocket on my chest.
46:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.
46:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I love it.
46:11
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very like Indian-like-covered type shit.
46:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
46:18
[SPEAKER_03]: I started screaming and I don't remember this poem, but I stared at my mother and pointed at the elves, but when I looked at where I saw them, they were gone.
46:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Unlike most dreams, you can tell when you wake up, but it felt so vivid and the feelings were too real to be a dream.
46:32
[SPEAKER_03]: And the weight of the elves didn't feel anything like a lucid dream.
46:35
[SPEAKER_03]: The story was probably a fever dream, but it felt so real.
46:39
[SPEAKER_03]: This happened in 2020 in Ireland, Dublin County.
46:45
[SPEAKER_00]: And now you had two inch elves on your chest building rockets, too.
46:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
46:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
46:52
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of rad.
46:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
46:55
[SPEAKER_03]: So fucking weird, sewer nooms, rocket nooms.
47:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Awesome.
47:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I got one more here.
47:02
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of potential for show art.
47:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
47:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
47:08
[SPEAKER_03]: This was originally posted on the truth, is here at it thread by Reddeter Alien Conspiracy.
47:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so here's my Nome Story.
47:18
[SPEAKER_03]: When I was a kid, we would get together with my cousins a few times a year.
47:22
[SPEAKER_03]: They would either come stay with us for a few days or we would stay at their house for a few days.
47:27
[SPEAKER_03]: My oldest cousin is a year older than me.
47:29
[SPEAKER_03]: And my other cousin is a year younger.
47:31
[SPEAKER_03]: The Nome Story took place at their house.
47:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't remember exactly how old I was at the time,
47:38
[SPEAKER_03]: So me and my older cousin were sleeping in her room when I was awakened by whispering.
47:43
[SPEAKER_03]: She had a nightlight next to her dollhouse so I could see a little bit in her room.
47:48
[SPEAKER_03]: When I looked around to see where the whispering was coming from, I saw what looked like nooms.
47:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I was absolutely terrified and woke my cousin up to tell her.
47:57
[SPEAKER_03]: She told me just to ignore them and not even look at them and then she went back to sleep.
48:02
[SPEAKER_03]: I was scared out of my mind and hit under the blanket until the sun came up.
48:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I asked her about them again the next day.
48:08
[SPEAKER_03]: She told me that she only sees them once in a while, but my other cousins saw them frequently.
48:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Weirdly, I don't think we ever really talked about them again.
48:17
[SPEAKER_03]: I definitely remember after that being afraid at their house at night.
48:22
[SPEAKER_03]: I would absolutely not get up to use the bathroom during the night because I was so afraid of seeing them again.
48:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I know most people aren't going to believe this story, and that's okay.
48:31
[SPEAKER_03]: I wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't seen them.
48:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Believe me or not, I definitely know what I saw.
48:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I believe you.
48:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, obviously it's a common place since the cousin knew that it happened.
48:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
48:46
[SPEAKER_03]: I love that she did the like Kyle response.
48:50
[SPEAKER_00]: The move.
48:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't look at him.
48:52
[SPEAKER_03]: The move.
48:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the best.
48:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Just elf apathy.
48:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't look at him, man.
48:58
[SPEAKER_00]: That that's the get out of jail free card, man.
49:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's alien encounters, fake encounters, just roll around ghostly.
49:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, who do you like?
49:08
[SPEAKER_03]: You're the the two best arsenal is using the name of Jesus or pulling the covers of your head seems to solve any paranormal problems ever.
49:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Awesome.
49:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I really do love face stories.
49:23
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I feel like it's just underappreciated and valued and not enough people looking into it.
49:31
[SPEAKER_03]: I, when I was digging through these, I know I said elves and elves known kind of crossover.
49:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like they have a gray area there.
49:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
49:40
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like they could probably be interchanged.
49:41
[SPEAKER_03]: 20 hats, 20 years, you know, as I was digging, I found some weird weird stories, but I don't even know where they belong.
49:54
[SPEAKER_03]: So, okay.
49:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if I wanna make like a conglomeration episode of weird things they first.
50:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be cool.
50:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Get a bunch of these weird fucking bizarre one off.
50:11
[SPEAKER_03]: that I don't know what's happening because I I found one particular story and I was like this is batshit and then I started seeing other people posting seeing similar creatures from the same county.
50:32
[SPEAKER_00]: That's weird.
50:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
50:34
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously there's something going on.
50:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there was something going on, little, little x-rated going on, but why don't I don't know.
50:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Awesome.
50:46
[SPEAKER_03]: It's, it's, it's bonkers.
50:50
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the best story ever.
50:53
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess it depends on what you're into.
50:54
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
50:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
50:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's just say the initial experienceer saw two,
51:06
[SPEAKER_03]: creatures for lack of a better term, humanoid creatures banging in his garden to tiny little creatures.
51:19
[SPEAKER_03]: So he ran him off and they got pissed off and started throwing rocks at his windows for the next like three weeks.
51:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it doesn't pretty fae.
51:28
[SPEAKER_03]: And people were like, that's that's weird until more people
51:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, and then more people were like, hey, yeah, we're seeing them to do the same thing or just out there.
51:43
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if they were banging, but they were definitely on people's property.
51:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's fuck it.
51:49
[SPEAKER_00]: That's wild.
51:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Imagine just being a little being a fade trying to, trying to.
51:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that would be in that bikini garden, got it so fucked.
52:01
[SPEAKER_00]: Like seeing seeing one period would be, actually bizarre.
52:07
[SPEAKER_00]: But to see that.
52:09
[SPEAKER_03]: See, yeah, would be mid-intercourse.
52:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, getting x-rated.
52:15
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's the most bizarre.
52:19
[SPEAKER_03]: You're fucking banged.
52:21
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fucking great.
52:22
[SPEAKER_03]: because they did the same thing where they both just kind of looked at each other, like, oh shit, like the human's like, I don't know what I'm looking at.
52:31
[SPEAKER_03]: And I don't even know if it's in health.
52:34
[SPEAKER_03]: The way you described it, I don't know what it is.
52:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Kind of looked at him like, oh man.
52:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Like if all the times for us, you did, yeah.
52:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Of all the times for me to see a human, it's gotta be right now.
52:47
[SPEAKER_03]: But I got that saved somewhere.
52:48
[SPEAKER_03]: There's some weird,
52:50
[SPEAKER_03]: weird stuff going on out there, and that's what we're here for.
52:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the weird or the better.
52:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but that's what I got.
52:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I figure it's not totally Christmasy, but elves are Christmasy.
53:03
[SPEAKER_03]: So, yeah, that we get that.
53:05
[SPEAKER_03]: I might try to scrounge up some Santa Claus encounters before the end of the year and try to do part two on that.
53:12
[SPEAKER_03]: I must see how many I could find.
53:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Because that was one of our most
53:21
[SPEAKER_03]: That's too bad because we do whatever we want to do.
53:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Right go for it.
53:25
[SPEAKER_03]: But again, thanks for hanging out with us.
53:27
[SPEAKER_03]: This fine Monday, glad you chose us to kick it.
53:33
[SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, if any of you have seen an elf or a gnome out there in the 89 countries that are listening to us on Spotify, hit us up.
53:45
[SPEAKER_03]: We want to hear about it.
53:48
[SPEAKER_03]: We want to hear your elf, your, your,
53:52
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, thanks for kicking it, until we meet again, stay safe, stay weird, and don't follow any elves in the sewer.
54:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Just don't do that.
54:07
[SPEAKER_03]: Sewers are gross, stay out of there.
