I think most of the time these things are the same indeed. I much rather have mischievous elves and gnomes to be reality then those grey bigheaded analprobing aliens though!
those who like you see the gnomes always use to deny and say that someone else has actually seen them; or that they read some stories about gnomes on books and so on , but i know and YOU know that they do exist, and that they are out for you, already smelling your underpants.
I thought you were being serious, and thought the recording would actually be...I dunno I was like all ready to hear some freaky chant...and then it started playing it made me laugh, but seriously I wish elves and fairies existed. I think I'd make friends with them. Maybe they do exist! I hope so I've never seen any though, you know, when i moved to this house outside, on the porch, there was a dint in the concrete. I don't know how it was made, but it looks EXACTLY like a tiny foot so when i saw it i decided it belonged to an elf, and since then whenever i walk past it with someone i tell them about it and start making up stories, which no one believes of course haha but i would love to have like a fairy friend
The idea of there being 'greys' around, does'nt appeal to me at all. At least Gnome is small enough to kick it out of the way if it gets annoying.
