§310

‘Approximately eighteen months ago a group of twenty five friends and I went camping in the far north of Minnesota in the ***Waters Canoe Area. On our fourth day we found a secluded island in one of the lakes and decided to do some fishing and extended camping there. After much discussion of what we wanted to do for the fifth day we decided to stay camped for the day and relax on the island. On the morning of the fifth day we were all getting ready to go swimming and fishing a friend called the rest of us over to look at something he found on the other side of the island. When went to the other side of the island we were all gobsmacked. We witnessed what can only be described as gnomes, short (about sixteen centimeters without a cap on) human looking beings with tall caps and rough homespun clothing. We witnessed both male and female gnomes as well as a few children. The gnomes were aware of us, as was obvious by the way they would occasionally shoot us the evil eye, but made no malicious moves or threatening moves towards us. We sat there and watched the entire village for about ninety five minutes or so before we left to go about our activities. We camped out on the island again that night and were not disturbed by them. I went back near where their village was early the next morning and left a gift of a gold ring that was supposed to be given to my deceased fiancé, I think it’s what she would have wanted, because I remember reading about gnomes working with gold as a child.’ ‘Human like including facial features. Short, about sixteen centimeters without hat. With Hat approximately twenty eight centimeters. Rough Homespun clothing of different colors. Tall Hats of the colors Blue, Green, Red, Orange, and Purple.’ ‘When speaking to one another I would describe it as a mixture of Swedish and Danish. One was playing something like a pan flute in this very rich and intoxicating melody that reminded me of a mixture of birdsong and Celtic music.’ ‘They were Gnomes. My grandma had a book that I read as a child about gnomes and they were identical to what was described in the book.’ ‘I’m an airline pilot, and prior to that a private investigator, so discussing something like this could potentially ground me and potentially call my prior work into question.’
