The "little people" subject is something I would've scoffed at until a first-hand story was related to me. One of my best friends posted a long
thread on ATS about it a couple years ago. He wanted to see if anyone else had experiences that were even remotely similar.
A mutual friend of ours named Jim had the 'encounter'. He's a big outdoorsman, an avid hunter and fisherman. He's not the least bit interested in
the 'strange' or the paranormal. He told us he saw a little man who looked 'cartoonish' in an area called the Loess Hills in southern Nebraska,
USA. He explained that he apparently caught this little man off guard as the little guy was performing some task. (He appeared to be waving his hand
over some plants)
I've known people who tell stories of hauntings and UFO encounters, and I take them with a grain, but this story was relayed by someone who simply
would not lie, and doesn't want attention. He only drinks occasionally and does not use drugs. He said he bought some whiskey after his encounter,
because he was so freaked out! He waited almost 15 years to tell us about it, because he was sure we would think he was crazy.
His experience has led me to believe that these little people live out in heavily wooded areas. I certainly don't doubt the idea that they may live
underground. I also believe they avoid humans like the plague.
I have hiked the area where this happened, and I can best describe it as an
extremely eerie place. I've hiked in the mountains, deserts and
oceansides. I've been to several known sacred 'power' spots. Although I'm fairly cynical, I will say that some of these spots were awe-inspiring.
But I have never,
ever felt a power or a vibe like I have in that one spot of woods in the Loess Hills, and it's not simply because of the
story my friend told us. I hiked there at sunrise recently, and as you enter the area, there is a feeling that you are being watched by some
incredible power that can crush you at any second. It's so strong, it's literally tangible. The air almost crackles with it. It's freaky. I tried
to brush it off and gather my wits, as it were. My friend said the same thing. He described it as entering another dimension. You will feel compelled
to stop walking and just stand still for a moment, as if you're being forced to proceed slowly and cautiously.
Here's the thread, for anyone interested:
