My Dearest Hammerson,

I hope this letter finds you well on this joyous occasion of your most recent upload. I myself, standing of short stature, am amply excited for this specific topic. But as much as this video floods my heart with joy and fervor, I must implore you to make such a video of my sweet homeland, Newfoundland. Such and undertaking may be monumentous, but I believe you and your talents are suited for such a task. Hearing your sweet voice telling the tales of my childhood would be honey to my ears. Thank you for taking my letter and I hope it finds you well.

-Warmest regards,
-my dumb ass

Yes, perfect timing! I've just got back from a wedding with an overnight stay, and I'm bloody knackered! I've booked tomorrow off work, and I'm ready to chill with some folklore!!!!

I seen one of these as a child. I waved and it waved back. I went to tell some my mom about it and when I turned around it was gone. I was later told that I will live a long peaceful life and that only those with no hate or evil in them can see them but not many can communicate with them. As such I'm now 41 and never spent a day in prison or ever been in trouble I helped another of folks and will continue to do so.

I live in northern canada, ive never seen a little person but ive seen evidence of little people. Theres a small island near my hometown, on that island has a very small cave that goes into the island, on the beach of that island i saw a set of very small footprints, about 1 inch ahead of each footprint were toenails digging into the sand that lead to the very small cave opening.(The cave opening was less the 2 feet tall and the foot prints were about 5 inches long")

The Icelandic government still routes roads around the rocks that are said to be elf homes / habitat.

I love your little people Videos ❤️❤️ the topic is so interesting. I’m from Cape Breton and fondly remember listening to the stories told in Gaelic, and Acadian French of the Fae of ns and how they followed our people here from the old country. So thank you for the content ❤️

I grew up in a log cabin on Van Isle and these little buggers were always around! Very rarely noticed outside but I'd catch them watching me from behind objects and around corners regularly. I never told anyone.

The Mythology of Tara
There is a vast abundance of mythological material relating to Tara, and it is mentioned in many of the Irish stories, when events often occur at Samhain. The hill is said to be named after Tea, a goddess. The hill is also associated with Queen Maeve, a landscape goddess, probably imported from Connaught during the medieval times.

The hill is said to be a residence of Lugh of the Long Arm, one of the chief deities of the Tuatha De Danann and hero of the Second Battle of Moytura by Lough Arrow in County Sligo. One of the monuments at Tara is a huge ringfort called Rath Lugh, now partially ploughed out and destroyed, is named after Lugh.
