Gnomes… probably one of the most head-scratching entities out there. They’re one of those concepts where you either believe or you don’t. And for many, belief only comes after an actual encounter.
Sightings of gnomes have been reported all over the world, from Europe and Mexico to the United States, and even right here in our own backyard of Camp Lejeune.
In this upcoming week’s SPC episode, Isaac shares his personal encounters with gnomes and offers his unique perspective on these mysterious beings.
But before that episode drops, here are some fun facts about gnomes:
• Ancient Origins – Gnomes first appeared in European folklore as earth-dwelling spirits, believed to guard underground treasures.
• Small but Mighty – Traditionally, gnomes are depicted as 1–3 feet tall, making them tiny but clever and resourceful.
• Pointed Hats – Their iconic red, pointed hats are said to help gnomes blend into nature—and sometimes even grant them magical abilities.
• Mischief Makers – Many legends describe gnomes as pranksters who move objects, hide tools, or play tricks on humans.
• Guardians of Nature – Gnomes are thought to protect gardens, forests, and hidden treasures, punishing those who harm the earth.
• Magical Eyes – Folklore sometimes gives gnomes glowing or unusually bright eyes, making them appear watchful or otherworldly.
• Long-Lived – Legends say gnomes can live for hundreds of years, quietly observing the world without being seen.
