Sometimes I see these short gnome-like characters that scurry away and disappear into nothingness once they notice I've spotted them. I only see them one at a time, and they never look at me, but I get the feeling that they know I see them. They're ugly little critters, only about a foot and a half tall, pudgy, and only vaguely look "human". Wonder if anyone here has seen similar looking "creatures"? Many thanks.
