Eyewitness' Perceived GOBLIN OR REDCAP Childhood Encounter

An eyewitness details their perceived encounter with a goblin or Fae-like entity when they were a child. The witness wanted to know if I had heard of similar encounters.

I received the following account:

"I've always been a firm believer in the paranormal and have had my fair share of strange occurrences/encounters. I'm quite curious to know if you know of anyone who has had a similar experience to mine?

Before I begin, If you're unfamiliar with 'Redcaps,' they're a type of malevolent fae/goblin found in English folklore. I was a bit startled to discover this artist's depiction (below) looks disturbingly similar to what I'd seen, except the head was significantly larger than the body in my case. Also, it wasn't wielding a weapon, as mentioned in several descriptions, from memory.


This was an early childhood memory. I can't recall my exact age at the time, but I'd estimate that I was around 8-9 years old. Unfortunately, I can only recount a small/specific point in the story, but nonetheless, this is what happened.

I was in my parent's bedroom, crying in fear, as I witnessed what appeared to be a very short, malicious-looking, fair-skinned "goblin" wearing a pointed red cap. It simply stood on the end of the bed, laughing maniacally at me. My mother was trying to calm me down and had no idea why I was so hysterical since she couldn't see or hear anything. So seemingly, only I was able to see this entity.

That's all I can remember, sadly. I have absolutely no recollection of what happened after that and never saw this humanoid again. Do you have thoughts or insight on what they believe I may have witnessed?" Z

NOTE: There are a number of possible explanations, including that it was an imagined being. If it was a corporeal entity, then it could have been a thought-form or tulpa. Also, there is the possibility that it was a Fae or similar being. Lon
