Ghastly Gnome
Most of us think of gnomes as being cute little figures that you keep in your garden. Children and adults alike love them! But in most European folklore, they’re not at all cute – instead, they’re mischievous creatures, similar to goblins. Anyone who’s read the Harry Potter books will know how naughty they can be!
Thankfully, in this story, the gnome wasn’t actually the cause of the problems. Instead, it was some kind of troublesome spirit that caused some issues. This Reddit user is far braver than I could ever be – I would’ve run out of there screaming and certainly wouldn’t have picked the gnome up again.
