I just moved into a new apartment complex last week and ever since then, I've been experiencing some things that are strange, to say the very least.
On my first night in my new apartment, I was just sitting in my living room when I heard something hitting my sliding screen door leading to the outside porch. At first I just let it play out to see what happened and it stopped after a while. I took a look outside and the porch was littered with tiny rocks. Someone had been throwing these rocks at the door and I didn't know what to make of it other than some jerk messing around.
Then came a couple of nights later when I was taking out my garbage and I felt something hit me in the back. It was another tiny rock and when I began looking around to find who was doing it, I saw a small figure peeking out from behind the tire of someone's car. I first assumed a small animal, but then it bolted out and I could see clear as day (even though it was evening at the time) that it was a small biped. It ran underneath a bunch of cars parked next to each other and I lost sight as it turned a corner towards one of the complex pools. I just ran back to my apartment and didn't know what to think.
I've been looking around on the internet and asking one of my close friends about it. Strangely enough, all signs seem to point to one thing: Gnomes. My friend is from Mexico and he says that gnomes (or "duendes" as they're called in Mexican folklore) are very real and that they stalk people at night, sometimes playfully and sometimes maliciously. He claims to have seen one in Mexico and a lot of my internet research yields similar tales.
What do you make of this? Does any of this make any sense to you?
I don't know about gnomes, but I may have had a run-in with a dishwasher fairie.
Several years ago I was unloading the clean dishes from the dishwasher. One of the wine glasses had somehow gotten its base wedged between the plastic rack of the dishwasher. I had one hand already full of clean stuff and couldn't manage to get the stuck wine glass out with my free hand without fear of breaking the glass. So I set it back down very carefully, turned around to put away the other glasses, and when I turned around the previously stuck wine glass was standing straight up in the the dishwasher rack, completely unstuck and free.

Ive heard some convincing accounts of 'duendes' too... Not sure what to make of it, originally I blew these reports off as being hoaxes or mis interpretations, but the more I heard, this seemed to be a real phenomenon.
Im beginning to think all these different entities are the same thing, just manifesting in different forms.
You should try to get a camera and get video footage. Aim the camera at a flowerpot outside and try leaving gifts for them? (after all, you want to be friends with them - if they actually exist) Maybe food, fruit, sweets, colourful beads, anything you can think of which might be interesting to them. You might be the one who proves these things exist if you can consistently get video of them. There are many races who claim little people are real.

I would not be surprised if MANY more people saw these things, but never said anything about it, either because they fear people will call them crazy, or they may not even believe what they saw with their own eyes.
This story reminds me of an episode of Ghost Adventures in Ireland, where a full spectrum camera caught small black figures that seemed to be following the guys. It was amazing to see, and knowing all the folklore and legends surrounding leprechauns, makes you wonder.
The camera doesn’t lie, so there was no way to debunk this. OP, why not buy an outdoor camera and put it where you saw the figure?

There's no doubt about that. I'd say it also applies to over 90% of all things paranormal.
