PUKWUDGIE? An Elf on the Shelf


A Massachusetts teen later recalls his experience with an elf-like being, that he believes could have been a Pukwudgies. His father was a collector of Native American artifacts. Was this from an attachment?

I received the following account:

“Here's a story you can use if you want. When I was in my teens, probably 14 or 15, I remember tossing and turning in my bed in the early morning. I opened my eyes for a split second while turning over like most people do, and I swear to god I saw a small gnome/gremlin-like creature sitting on my shelf watching me, illuminated by the bluish early morning light coming in through the windows. It was about 1 foot tall, grayish brown, wearing just a simple tunic on its torso and that's it. It looked a bit like an elf from the Harry Potter movies, but they hadn't been released yet, so that image couldn't have been implanted in my brain, as if I was just dreaming this little creature was sitting there. I remember it was sitting with its legs crisscrossed, with its right hand resting on its left knee. It smiled at me, waved very excitedly, and smiled a big toothy grin like he was some long-lost friend happy to see me.

Looking back on it, it seemed genuinely nice. I didn't sense any negativity or evil from it at all. I remember seeing it, knowing I was awake, and not thinking anything of it. Upon waking up though, I was creeped out.

Did I really see that or was I just half asleep and still dreaming? In my area of New England (near the Bridgewater Triangle), there are stories of Pukwudgies, which are from Native American folklore. Basically small impish trickster-type creatures. My father was also an avid collector of Native American artifacts like beads, pottery, and arrowheads, so maybe it was some sort of forest spirit hanging out in my house.” BW
