9. Elf testimonial:
When I was little (about seven) I was walking through the forest alone. I heard some
music, and followed it. I stumbled upon a little kid dressed in a cloak,
and he had pointed ears. He had blonde hair, green eyes, and was
playing an Oak Flute. He asked me if I
would play with him, but I told him I couldn't and had to get back to my family.
He said he'd wait until I could play with him, and winked at me before disappearing.

10. Abducted by elves
REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Seven years after she vanished without a trace, a female
anthropologist emerged from a mysterious cave where authorities believe she may
have been held hostage by real-life elves!
Danish researcher Kalena Søndergaard was
covered by dust and babbling incoherently when rescuers found her outside
a tiny opening in the famous Elf Rock, traditionally believed to house the
underground dwelling place of mankind’s tiny cousins.
“She was crouching like an animal and spoke only in a language unrelated
to any we know,” said Arnor Guðjohnsen of the National Rescue Service,
which airlifted the 31-year-old survivor to a hospital by helicopter.
“The only word we could understand was ‘alfur,’ an old Icelandic word for elves.
On her back were strange tattoos similar to those markings Viking explorers
found on rock formations when they settled Iceland in 874,
traditionally known as ‘elf writing.’ ”

11. Fairy testimonial:
Fairies are true beings not just fantasy. I have seen one once in a garden where
flowers bloomed up through winter snow. They clearly interact with the
very real flowers and so are physical beings.

12. How to communicate with fairies:
“To connect into the Fairy realm all you need to do is to sit amongst flowers and plants. Quiet your mind and close your eyes. Fairies connect with us through our clairsentience which is our sixth sense that allows us to receive messages through feelings. So open your heart to the Fairies.”
“Now speak to the Fairies, ask them anything and notice any thoughts, feelings or visions that you get as the Fairies give you loving guidance and messages.”

13. Fairy testimonial:
“The Fairies were the first Elementals that introduced themselves to me. At the start I could not see or hear Fairies but I could feel their excitable energy. After a couple of months of working on connecting into the Fairy realm I started to hear them and to see them on occasion.”

15. Duende testimonio
Hace algunos años, en el 2004, en los noticieros se relataba el caso de una familia de la población Einstein, en la comuna de Recoleta, cuyos hijos pequeños veían corretear al menos una pareja de estos seres, que se divertían cometiendo toda clase de desórdenes y travesuras.

27. Are Gnomes Real?

28. No.

29. All of these claims are evidence, but they do not meet the scientific standard for evidence.
If eye-witness testimony meets your standard for truth, then you would think that elves are real, like half the population of Iceland, but testimony alone has no scientific value.

31. When people believe fairies are communicating with them through their 'feelings' they are actually just channeling their own creative subconscious mind.

32. Many ancient cultures independently came up with the idea for gnomes, but every single ancient community had their own multitude of myths.
With all of these ancient stories and creatures around the world it's not surprising that there is some overlap.

The burden is on people making the claim to provide good scientific evidence.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
