I must say I do enjoy your open-ness to non orthodox ways of thinking. If only other people out there could see things from a different view once in a while.
Reckless RedNeckRC "I must say I do enjoy your openness to non orthodox ways of thinking. If only other people out there could see things from a different view once in a while." I agree. Most people are so quick to deny the fantastic and put the universe in a metrically sized box. Which is a shame, because the more the fantastic, lines up with reality, The more amazing the universe is! Really enjoying your channel Beyond Science , thanks :)
Reckless RedNeckRC I cannot say elves are real, but I believe. Science has some interesting things to say about different types of hominid too, which is fascinating.
Reckless RedNeckRC Actually, most atheists are EXTREMELY open minded. We just won't accept just any old thing as evidence. There are extremely logical explanations to a lot of this. Also, considering the fact that humans as they are today have been around for around 200,000 years and we have ZERO pieces of evidence of the supernatural, is it really fair to call people closed minded because they're not convinced by a video and sketchy articles? The only thing from this list that has actually been verified is the last one.
Yes it is fair. Due to the fact that I accept what you are saying but also would never close my mind to the fact that there are things we do not know nor understand, we learn new things and re-think old "facts" everyday. So tell me again how you are being open minded. I accept that you may be right, and there may be absolutely logical explanations, but I can also accept the fact that maybe there are things we do not know about yet or may never know about. Considering that our universe is billions of years old do you want to sit back and tell me that in what you think, and I will stress the words, what you think, is about 200,000 years, that we are a knowledgeable enough sentient race to know how everything works?
I believe similarly. Everything has its origins in truth and theres too much widespread stories from throughout history of alot of things most people consider fantasy. An example is all the stories about interference from what would be considered fictional creatures,and theres alot of these stories, that seems to have happened in modern times with the construction mentioned in this video. Instead of it being kings or lords having to find somebody to help with the troubles,it was a modern day organization.
I used to think it was weird to believe in elves, up until I TH-camd, "Irradiated wastelands of Northern India". Basically, 12k years ago was the 3rd civilization, and we are in the 4th. 12k years ago, there were a lot of Nuclear Wars going on in India, as described in the "Mahabharata"(200 B.C.) which reads like a science fiction novel, with space craft and aliens.. In india, they would pick up steel balls, thousands of years old, fully radioactive, and make "Damascus Steel". Once you realize the Mahabharata was really an account of history, you realize that all the other myths might be real as well. ANYTHING goes now.
I totally believe in these "little people" my great grandfather told me and my family that one time he got lost while hunting alone.. He used to make trails to find his way back but something had happened to his trail someone/thing wrecked it. Or the rain washed it away. (Can't remember that part of the story)And was lost for 5 days .. On the 4th day lost he was sleeping in a small cave-ish thing when all the little ppl helped him.. By feeding him.getting him warm, and showing him which way to go. They helped him find his way.. If not for them he probably wouldn't be alive for as long as he was.. He passed away when I was about 11 or 12 years old.. I do not care if ppl believe me or him. As I know he was telling the truth because where I'm from there are quite abit of sightings from these little ppl throughout the years..
Leah Meekis I do believe in elves, I would love to meet some, I think they control how and when we see them, though. They use GLAMMER which is a form of natural magic. Are you sure you are not part elf? Cause youre glammerous. Lol
Leah Meekis I use to be an elf in a past life that married a beautiful elf from another tribe.Naturally our people were furious after one of the "family" members followed me to the cave (which was my wife and i's secret meeting spot) and he told the village elder who had ordered for her death.My wife's father at first didn't like me but once hes saw how distraught i was he felt bad and both tribes were fighting eachother outside the cave and i got shot by my own tribe for like a sylph elf.I was a dark elf in that life.
+Leah Meekis Could have been the lack of food for 5 days. Delusions, delirious or just a good story to tell the kids.You know the guy that discovered the Mormon religion talks about going in the woods and being encountered. Now we have that too.
+Leah Meekis Yeah same here! In my Russian culture, it is believed that "little people" called Domovoi (probably misspelled it) are elves that live in homes to protect the families from "evil spirits".
I know elves exist. I seen them. When I lived in Argentina I was a kid and I would always see them. My sister too. Some of them would have blond hair. Never harmed us. I will never forget that experience. :)
Thank you for including my tribes telling of the little people. We Cherokee have tons of interesting story's of them. Love your channel. Keep up the awesome digging! Wa-do!
I like your videos man, earned a sub. wish more people would look at the world with open eyes no matter what the answers end up being, its quite refreshing.
I love how you touch on topics that some would consider myth or fable or straight lies. I am one of the people who tend to believe that there are things we don't know about, so it is refreshing to watch your videos. Keep on doing what you do, because, like I always say, there is much more to learn, regardless of what we think we know. Peace!
When i was little, my mom used to say that i would run around and play with these 'little people' as my mom said. And i didn't remember it, but once she said that i instantly remembered them. They were about as tall as a man's knee and they would help me when i would get hurt. They were pretty nice now thinking back at it.
I have to believe in elves...1 my Irish Grandmother always said I was a changeling ( I was born with my ears folded shut and had to be surgically opened) or maybe she was just saying I was ugly baby. 2 I have seen one within 2 feet of my face, he looked right at me and moved very quickly. 3 everytime I lean on a tree in the deep woods I feel like I am being absorbed by it, my brother walked right by me without noticing and I was wearing a hunter orange vest...maybe he is just not very perseptive. I get alot of interaction when I wander alone.
Some things are too hard to explain scientifically to completely deny. A lot of "myths" and "legends" are actually based off true happenings. All the stories about Oberon's people have to be based on something, be it real-life faerie or whatever. I don't know if I'm a believer or not, but I do know there's too many unexplainable things out there for there to not be some truth to these legends!
If you read a history book about Columbus it sounds as a tale. He discovered a new world- they thought they would sail right off the edge- he brought back riches to the royals- blah-blah
Dude just discovered this channel today and man I'm loving it. You have a great perspective on things I think and it's also kinda brave to go out on the Internet and comfortably discus topics like this without ridiculing it or whatever. I'm with you on keeping an open mind on things you can't definitely declare as untrue, or true for that matter. Fact is we don't know at this point so let's have a good time finding out :p
I was harvesting opium poppies at the garden of my bottom once when I found a very small fat person singing love me tender. It was Elvish Presley. Someone please kill me now, this is as good as it gets.
Having had seen two creatures in my life and I was tormented by one of them for 5 years of my childhood I can say without a doubt they exist. I am a very science minded and a spiritual person, but if you understand anything about other dimensions, the possibility of these creatures having the ability to cross between the dimensions is not so crazy. Any scientist who understands the theory of relativity can tell you that in other dimensions the laws of reality could be completely different, meaning, something that we would describe as magic in this other reality could really exist. I also think the ones that come over here usually have the ability to turn invisible, which would make a sighting very uncommon. (there are a few that have been caught on camera) Strap in guys and girls because now that were in the age of Aquarius our vibrations will be ascending sooner than we think. In the coming years sightings of supernatural beings will increase. I've recently started meditating on a regular basis and I can now see what I think are spirits zipping around my room at night, which makes sleeping at night kinda hard. That's my two cents on this subject.
I find it attractive that you have an open mind. Whether they exist or not, you give a platform for “odd” stories. But you tell the stories as if you are open minded about that situation. Rather than saying “we’ve not seen them so it’s impossible that they exist” you tell the story like it’s at least a possibility!
@ Ian Calandro -- be hard to help u as I would imagine, since Arizona is quite a large state, that there is probably a good amount of storage facilities around the state
It's channels like this that I love, they explore the realm of possibility, without shoving the host's beliefs down your throat in an "accept it or get the fuck off my channel" vibe, but at the same time these sorts of channels make me sad, because it'd be great to watch channels like this that do their research and don't just rattle off stuff they've read on reddit or believe, but as they grow the law of averages states that as it grows more and more assholes are going to find it and shit all over it. I thin the coolest thing I've seen about this channel so far is Mike's interactions with the community. That's big, not a lot of channels have that anymore where they interact regularly with their audience. Keep it up Mike. You've earned my respect and I hope you're able to grow a great community full of love respect and one that's able to debate their opinions without hatred.
I love your channel and you Mike! I always thought I was crazy for believing in so many folklore stories and reincarnation, etc. but I'm so glad there's a person out there who shares my beliefs. Anyways, here in Tunisia, old people believe in elves (my Mom included and she claims that she's seen 3 once) they're told to help people in time of need if you only call upon them (and you have to speak a certain thing to call them which I'm too scared to learn cause I'd freak out if I ever see any even though I believe in them). Keep on the great videos, Can't get enough of them and you.
I live in upstate New York. Once, when I was younger, in my early teen years (13-14), a friend, his father, and I found some what looked like little people tracks in the snow in the forest. Now mind you, no other tracks were near these tracks. We followed the tracks and they led to a stump and just disappeared. It was quite strange and interesting at the same time.
My dad's family was very poor when growing up, and my uncle (dad's brother) had to sleep in this room that was built outside of their home. That room was shared by my uncle and my his uncle. He said that sometimes at night, he would see small people playing a type of leap frog game, where they would jump over the other in a line. He said that he could see them play through this window that was right outside their room. The reason I believe this, is because of the way my uncle is, a very calm and soft spoken person.. Not someone to just lie about things.
Another interesting show. Thank you. I do believe in them because years ago when I was a child of about twelve I saw them. I lived rurally and there were many wild spots with water around were I lived. One evening I came out of the bathroom with a towel around me an stepped into my room. My window was open to catch the evening breezes. There was a sassafras tree growing right next to the house with a long arm coming down right next to the window. Something caught my eye and I looked over and there they were. It was a line of little men walking down the branch and stepping onto the window sill, walking across it and then jumping out of sight. I was paralyzed with fear. I sat down on the edge of the bed afraid to move a muscle but wanting to run. I assumed I passed out because I woke up at barely the crack of dawn with the towel still around me laying on the end of the bed. As God is my witness this is true. I believe it laid the foundation of my life long fascination with the paranormal.
Hi Beyond Science , as always I just love your video's. I wanted to say I do believe in a race of pygmy people AKA Elves, it seems obvious that they are real cause we found the graves. However, I wanted to share an interesting story out of a book called, 'Strange Stories of Alaska and the Yukon'. I'm from Alaska so found it fascinating and you were talking about not believing in the X-mas elves, but I believe I may have found the connection between that fairy tale and the truth that lays in it. The story comes from an old newspaper article where a gentleman and his friend(s) come upon a race of pygmy's that live in a hill in the city that is known in North Alaska as (go figure) The North pole. This took place long ago, I think is was the late 1800's. It is an interesting connection to the fairytale of the Christmas Elves that we tell to our kids today.
+Beyond Science I like they way you approach this kind of topics. You don't pretend to know what is going on, nor pretend you are a scientist... you just present whatever testimonial, observational accounts there are to support the possible existence of creatures or phenomena unknown to science... and you make it entertaining!...
Me, my daughter and a friend went chantrail mushroom picking in the woods just out of town. The area is a small mountain that local people say has a lot of supernatural history, things like ufo, bigfoot and evil spirits. I have been to this area many times and have had a feeling i was being watched. Creepy feeling. This time i actually seen something, many small shadow moving between the tree trunks following us. I asked my daughter if she was seeing something. She say yea there shadows following us. My friend over hears us and says "dont worry their just waching us". If they leave and the woods gets silent, we must leave. I asked him what the shadows were and he said "elves and some small animals." Just then we find a huge patch of mushrooms more then enough to make the giant mushrooms lasagna. We went home and made dinner. Just another weird day in my life.
If this subject interests you, check out the instances where the existence of faerie trees in Scotland and Ireland have forced building projects to be diverted around them due to the belief that if you touch them or destroy them you will die. They aren't crazy either; documented deaths involving people who touch or destroy faerie trees are real and can be found as well.
What made me give this a thumbs up was the fact that at the end he was open-minded and didn't confirm or deny other beings existence. Not many people can be open-minded these days.
My theory is that _if_ elves and dwarves exist (or existed), that perhaps interbreeding with our homosapien ancestors could be proven by being the cause of genetics for shorter height, or, more severely, Dwarfism.
***** It was past midnight when I posted that comment. Ignore the "and dwarves" in the first part; I had Skyrim on my brain at the time. So that was my bad, lol My point was that dwarfism could've been caused by human-elf interbreeding.
When I flicked passed this title quickly, I thought it read '5 Incidents that prove that Elvis could exist' Was disappointed when I clicked and found this instead. Bring back Elvis!
I typically pictured elves as around a regular humans height, but slightly taller/shorter. But what made it easier to tell differences was things like they would have stronger bones, or something. Like if we saw it alive (not dead) that they would be more agile, flexible, and slightly stronger then us. These seem more like Dwarfs too me. But, the forest parts do make them seem more like elves.
In my opinion since the world is so large , it true that elf and other mystical creature exist because we havent' even fully explore our own planet earth so there is a chance of its existance ...P.S. That my opinion and plz keep an open mind
I remember seeing little people since I can remember. I had a memory of me playing with a little person in my room late at night. I recall playing hot wheels with a little person. I remember his face very well, he had a very round face with emerald green eyes and he was 4 to 3.5 tall, he wear a Ancient Cree outfits. And I know I'm not crazy because my Grandfather is a Medicine-man also known as a Shaman and he told this group of little people to watch over me. But yes I do believe in Little people.
I have several photographs of what can only be described as an elf or elve. I was photographing my poppies and there is a little green man that looks like a shadow because he's all the same colour. Guessing, he is about 8 to 10 inches tall and just strolling through my poppies in my garden. I didn't notice him at first not until I zoomed into what i'd previously thought was a shaddow. He has a tall hat on his head too, shabby jacket, what looks like trousers and webbed feet. His hand looks clawed, but his face is that of an old man. I was freaked out at first, thought I must be going crazy so I showed the pics to family and friends and as they zoomed in they jolted with shock.
I love how your Pie Chart on the percentage of Icelanders opinions on Elves only adds up to 99% Lol. However, was an interesting video and I do enjoy your channel. Keep it up :)
I personally believe elves (NOT BECAUSE I'M A NERD) Because well. Its very likely, it could of been a different evolution that made them more in touch with wild-life or spirits or something??? Idk. but its entirely possible. But we'll never know if us dumbass humans keep it up with our expanding on this planet and don't move our asses to space soon. XD
Mad Maniak I believe pretty much anything mythological and extraterrestrial exists. Only a few Paranorma/Supernatural things like ghosts, bigfoot and slenderman. Mostly SCPS, if anything.
Are you kidding me? So basically, you do believe in a character that was created by Eric Knudsen in 2009 for a photo contest on the website Something Awful, and then they made an awful videogame for teenagers. Well done, I believe in Unicorns that shit rainbows.
Only reason why I’m watching this is because I’m studying about elves. I’ve seen one before but I guess I scared it. It ran behind a tree, when I went to the tree it wasn’t there anymore. I told everyone but everyone laughed the only person that believes me is my great grandma.
You said "not the kind [of elves] in the Lord of the Rings", but.... Where do you think Tolkien got a lot of his ideas? Viking mythology and folklore, which would encompass the Icelandic folklore you speak of.
Hi from Finland! Here we have Santa and his helpers (Who btw are not so cheerful all the time, but lurking and stalking all year round behind windows if we are behaving nicely and have good manners!) but also sauna elf, mill elves, barn elf, home elf etc. Now they are becaming more rare, but when my grandparents were little, elves were highly appreciated and feared. Then if you would've make elves mad, they could have make your animals sick and make all kind of nasty pranks around the house. :)
Really, I think there probably have been "elves" in the sense that there have been whole tribes, towns, and cities with mainly only people with dwarfism living together. But, I don't think they had magical powers, or were actually an entirely different species.
Whelp, as a RPG enthusiast, I like to distinguish between between 'Elf' and 'Fairy' ; P They are not supposed to be the same race! Elves are human sized treehuggers, Fairies are the really small, winged ones. XP Every fantasy fan should know that... don't mix them up, people. And don't mix them up with dwarfs either lol. XD But no, I don't think those fantasy creatures exist in real life per se.
Video game lore, and lore from the real world vary greatly. Until you open your mind to the craziest of ideas, you won't see any of it as possible truth. There is more to this life on earth than checking our smart phones and trying to make money. Life was never intended to be about that way of life, only the material greed of bad people caused such a society on earth.
Wow. You do know that fairies and elves are based of of real mythology? When talking of such things in the real world we arent talking of freaking World of Warcraft. We are talking about the mythological side of things. In mythology an elf and a faerie are basically the same thing.
Mysticsloth I don't even believe in elves haha im just saying that claiming something based off of a fantasy game isnt credible. This video was clearly talking about the mythological side, not "omg harry potter might be real".😂 seriously though when talking about the possible existance of something ficticious would be refering to ancient myths.
Unfortunately #5 could actually be caused by a known evolutionary pattern. Since food is scarce on small islands, especially when there are many individuals, evolution can revert to the point where animals start getting smaller as generations go on due to the lack of caloric intake. This has also happened before with elephants. Thousands of years ago there actually puppy to dog sized elephants on an isolated island that came to be due to what I just mentioned.
+dee clark Elves in old literature where humanoid creatures around 1 - 1.5 foot tall, unlike in modern stories like Lord of the Ring and most Fantasy RPGs and MMOs. And Dwarves were around 3 - 4 foot tall.
iv saw a little person with my own eyes and I actually caught like a fairy thing on camera by accident I was just taking pic of my jeep and it was in front of my jeep and iv saw real little people in my country, If you know how I can get pictures off a broken phone il show you the pic of the fairy / angel that I caught on pic
grime faerie obviously I only talk about to other people that are into them b cause most don't understand but I live in uk basically in Nottinghamshire country side and iv saw a lot of strange things Sherwood Forest is just behind my house..
Okay, me and my little sister have been friends with an elf since we were 11 and 8; I can't give her true name(against elf law), but her nickname is "Tyla". She's sorta been our protector. So yes, I believe in elves, fairies, or whatever you want to call them.
Logan Gamble its cool, i was just curious, seems several comments are from people in the USA. i have lived in America my whole life and have never heard anyone mention these before. Which is strange just because i am interested in all different creatures
I do believe in elves but not the tiny little elves, Im taking about elves like they are depicted in video games. Human height, pointy ears, think, hunters and gathers.
guys the more i look at these pictures the more it reminds me of one thing... Gnomes these aren't elves, elves are just a name given to then in Iceland... these are really gnomes, masters of hiding and are very jolly nice people most of which are only 1-3 feet tall. now as far as my research reaches these gnomes exist everywhere in different gnomish subspecies such as African gnomes which are like native Africans and Icelandic and European gnomes which generally are depicted as being small bearded gentlemen and ladies inhabiting holes and in Iceland have long hair and are like small fair people and live in small rock houses. these gnomes have lived along side us for many many years, now as i see it i think gnomes are pretty cool and i would like to meet one one day
How would elves be able to survive and gather enough food without being seen? Unless they live in caves and eat rocks. To sustain a population you need a fresh source of water and plentiful and nutritious sources of food. I don't know where you would find that in North America that is not inhabited.
TopGunPaintballer They live in another dimension. According to Irish legend, most live under hills or inside burial mounds. Their world is said to be more beautiful than words can describe. And you can find fresh sources of food and water in North America. Of course, you'd have to be careful not to be seen. I've also read that some spirits of nature eat plants.
It's what I've read. Some accounts say they eat leaves. There are people who claim they saw little men carrying spears and scouring the land for game. Maybe some are carnivores and most are vegetarians. Who know?
Gema Guevara Being a vegetarian they would need to gather even more food to get all the nutrition a mammal would need for life. Every living thing needs nutrients especially primates.
Wow, I've never heard of Elf encounters at Mangrove Swamps Nature Reserve, or talking of real Elves in South Africa. I guess if they may exist, they'll also especially at the Knysna forest with its magical ambiance, and all of the hidden stories of the Knysna bush, with its strange unique nature etc. Or even the aerie little Niew-Bethesda town...
Love the painting by Elsa Beskow at 3:45. They are so called älvor - basically elves, however these where believed to appear whenever there was mist and are a part of old scandinavian folklore.
Ireland has reserved large areas as National Parks, as protected areas for the Wee Folk. Because being of Irish descent myself, I can say with certainty that no one of that country who even remotely follows the older ways is going to risk pissing off the fae.
In my tribe - Ojibwe - we have a word for little people called (and I hope I spell this right) Pahiisag. Sometime they're mischievous but they can be helpful as well. I've heard they leave little bundles of sticks around and stuff like that. I've never seen one but there are many stories about them. I've heard some personal ones as well.
My dad saw a silhouette of a humanoid figure 1-2 feet tall when he was a teenager. Run across a field and scurry up a tree. He says the person had a disproportionate head. He isn't the most open minded person when it comes to metaphysics but he is the most honest man I know.
Icelanders & Irelanders are right, elves, gnomes, leprechauns exist, just not in this dimension. About this channel, what's up with the nine inch nails in the backdrop? Kinda weird to just randomly have Roman Jesus crucifixion nails hanging out as a decoration in a backdrop for no reason
There are two elven stories from Álftanes in Iceland , Aka where i am from. 1. The is a small hill woth very tall grass the reason of that tall grass is because of elves. When people try to cut the grass the seem to dissappear in the ground and never seen again. 2. When you come to Álftanes you will see a big rock, that rock is known because people seem to say that elves live in it. One day construction works were going to destroy it but everytime they tried a house is the distance seemed to be on fire but everytime they got there the house was fine they went back and tried again and the same thing happend. The men asked locals what was going on everytime they got the same awnser. Elves. When the men heard this they stoped and left the rock alone.
Depends on what you mean by elves. Elves in Scandinavia means spirits, or more specifically, aspects of human existence. Light elves are spirits, dark elves are bodies of the deceased. One is heavenly, one is chthonic (i.e. earthly). Hence the elves of Tolkien are based on human spirits, whereas the dwarves live underground (which is where you bury human bodies).
i love how you keep an open mind. and i hate when people claim things like this don't exist. like how do you know?? you did not explore 100% of our planet. even scientists haven't and even if they found something, ofcourse they won't tell you about it. personally, i don't believe in elves, but i am not that arogant to claim they don't exist.
Elves do exist, but there are many variants and species. Wood elves are 4-5 feet tall, while some species are only 3 in. in heighth. This is a good channel. This guy has a really open mind and good opinions. I like his gumption.
I believe in beings like the elves and invisible people. I actually live in Wyoming and grew up on stories of the little people. A few years ago my mom and her friend were driving through a pass late at night, and mom was telling her friend about the little people and how you need to respect them. Her friend out right told mom that they did not exist. A few days later, mom's friend was driving through that same pass, and her car started to malfunction. The next time she drove through, she got a flat tire. This continued, as she had to use this pass to get to and from work, and it only stopped when she apologized to the little people.
the lost books of the bible talk about the little people that time has forgotten. if flour were dusted on the floor they wouldn't leave no foot prints, we really havent even scratched the surface yet of whats goin on.
However the elves from old myths were traditionally thought of as tall as adults (like Tolkien's). The tiny ones is a more modern concept and they're more related to forest sprites from various folk tales.
"Little People" and Elves are not the same thing, the typical "Christmas Elf" version of Elves that people have in their minds is from a post-Christian world view. Often times elves get confused with what people would call the Fae or your basic Nature spirits. But the Germanic mythology from which Elves originate refers to them as distinct and close in status with the Gods, they even have a distinct realm Alfheimr. So I assume their physicality and interaction with material existence would not be the type that would leave physical remains, as they are not earthbound spirits. I would even argue that Tolkiens depiction of elves is far more true to form than anything on this list. Now it is my personal belief that the ancient Germanic peoples looked at Elves in the same way that cultures all around the world think of Ancestor Spirits or even how Buddhists think of Bodhisattva's and just like Dwarves, there is nothing in Norse Mythology to suggest they are any smaller than the average person, this video would more aptly be called "5 Incidents That Prove Gnomes Could Exist" if I sound combative I don't mean to, just hoped to clear up some information as I find Little people and Elves to be extremely fascinating!
I have a friend that's likely an elf. He very short, has pointed ears, acts like an elf, etc. And I'm pretty much a Hobbit, but without the curly hair.
I have met a couple of people who swear they have found tiny artifacts. This was in a few decades ago. They are the most normal people you could wish to meet.
You must get a lot of hate mail from closed minded people.
I must say I do enjoy your open-ness to non orthodox ways of thinking. If only other people out there could see things from a different view once in a while.
Reckless RedNeckRC "I must say I do enjoy your openness to non orthodox ways of thinking. If only other people out there could see things from a different view once in a while."
I agree. Most people are so quick to deny the fantastic and put the universe in a metrically sized box. Which is a shame, because the more the fantastic, lines up with reality, The more amazing the universe is! Really enjoying your channel Beyond Science , thanks :)
Reckless RedNeckRC I cannot say elves are real, but I believe. Science has some interesting things to say about different types of hominid too, which is fascinating.
Reckless RedNeckRC Actually, most atheists are EXTREMELY open minded. We just won't accept just any old thing as evidence. There are extremely logical explanations to a lot of this. Also, considering the fact that humans as they are today have been around for around 200,000 years and we have ZERO pieces of evidence of the supernatural, is it really fair to call people closed minded because they're not convinced by a video and sketchy articles? The only thing from this list that has actually been verified is the last one.
Yes it is fair. Due to the fact that I accept what you are saying but also would never close my mind to the fact that there are things we do not know nor understand, we learn new things and re-think old "facts" everyday. So tell me again how you are being open minded. I accept that you may be right, and there may be absolutely logical explanations, but I can also accept the fact that maybe there are things we do not know about yet or may never know about. Considering that our universe is billions of years old do you want to sit back and tell me that in what you think, and I will stress the words, what you think, is about 200,000 years, that we are a knowledgeable enough sentient race to know how everything works?
I do believe that elves exist. I mean, I believe in all supernatural creatures. So yeah, that includes elves. (Yeah. I know I'm weird.)
Veronica Fernandez youre not weird. Ppl are so close minded these days
You think elves are super natural? That's kinda racist...
I believe similarly. Everything has its origins in truth and theres too much widespread stories from throughout history of alot of things most people consider fantasy. An example is all the stories about interference from what would be considered fictional creatures,and theres alot of these stories, that seems to have happened in modern times with the construction mentioned in this video. Instead of it being kings or lords having to find somebody to help with the troubles,it was a modern day organization.
I used to think it was weird to believe in elves, up until I TH-camd, "Irradiated wastelands of Northern India". Basically, 12k years ago was the 3rd civilization, and we are in the 4th. 12k years ago, there were a lot of Nuclear Wars going on in India, as described in the "Mahabharata"(200 B.C.) which reads like a science fiction novel, with space craft and aliens.. In india, they would pick up steel balls, thousands of years old, fully radioactive, and make "Damascus Steel". Once you realize the Mahabharata was really an account of history, you realize that all the other myths might be real as well. ANYTHING goes now.
Beyond Science I know feel the same way!
I totally believe in these "little people" my great grandfather told me and my family that one time he got lost while hunting alone.. He used to make trails to find his way back but something had happened to his trail someone/thing wrecked it. Or the rain washed it away. (Can't remember that part of the story)And was lost for 5 days .. On the 4th day lost he was sleeping in a small cave-ish thing when all the little ppl helped him.. By feeding him.getting him warm, and showing him which way to go. They helped him find his way.. If not for them he probably wouldn't be alive for as long as he was..
He passed away when I was about 11 or 12 years old..
I do not care if ppl believe me or him. As I know he was telling the truth because where I'm from there are quite abit of sightings from these little ppl throughout the years..
Leah Meekis I do believe in elves, I would love to meet some, I think they control how and when we see them, though. They use GLAMMER which is a form of natural magic. Are you sure you are not part elf? Cause youre glammerous. Lol
Leah Meekis I use to be an elf in a past life that married a beautiful elf from another tribe.Naturally our people were furious after one of the "family" members followed me to the cave (which was my wife and i's secret meeting spot) and he told the village elder who had ordered for her death.My wife's father at first didn't like me but once hes saw how distraught i was he felt bad and both tribes were fighting eachother outside the cave and i got shot by my own tribe for like a sylph elf.I was a dark elf in that life.
There are stories here in Anisnabe as well, we still put food and semantic down.
+Leah Meekis Could have been the lack of food for 5 days. Delusions, delirious or just a good story to tell the kids.You know the guy that discovered the Mormon religion talks about going in the woods and being encountered. Now we have that too.
+Leah Meekis Yeah same here! In my Russian culture, it is believed that "little people" called Domovoi (probably misspelled it) are elves that live in homes to protect the families from "evil spirits".
I know elves exist. I seen them. When I lived in Argentina I was a kid and I would always see them. My sister too. Some of them would have blond hair. Never harmed us. I will never forget that experience. :)
>w< that's so cool!! :3
Gregory Pabst Yeah the best part is that they taste delicious! Specially if you put some ketchup on them... Yumy!
Really? Where in Argentina exactly?
+xCarlos1991x Wonder how they are with garlic powder...
+John the Fancy Tried it.... doesn't mix well. Better with just ketchup.
Thank you for including my tribes telling of the little people. We Cherokee have tons of interesting story's of them. Love your channel. Keep up the awesome digging! Wa-do!
Ooh nice ❤️❤️ I'm also studying about Cherokee tribe in my school and my history teacher told us stories as well
I’m Cherokee and Choctaw.
I like your videos man, earned a sub. wish more people would look at the world with open eyes no matter what the answers end up being, its quite refreshing.
I love how you touch on topics that some would consider myth or fable or straight lies. I am one of the people who tend to believe that there are things we don't know about, so it is refreshing to watch your videos. Keep on doing what you do, because, like I always say, there is much more to learn, regardless of what we think we know. Peace!
I don't know about elves, but I was once roommates with a ginger Irishman who stood 5'0" and had unusually pointed ears.
Mike D I'm 5 ft nothing. Stop telling our secrets
Mike D hahahahahahahahahahahaha
He could’ve been a leprechaun
@@logan6034 Maybe a tall leprechaun ...how cool is that? way cool. a real leprechaun.
where the gold at? I want the gold, gimme the gold!
When i was little, my mom used to say that i would run around and play with these 'little people' as my mom said. And i didn't remember it, but once she said that i instantly remembered them. They were about as tall as a man's knee and they would help me when i would get hurt. They were pretty nice now thinking back at it.
👀 omg really?
I have to believe in elves...1 my Irish Grandmother always said I was a changeling ( I was born with my ears folded shut and had to be surgically opened) or maybe she was just saying I was ugly baby. 2 I have seen one within 2 feet of my face, he looked right at me and moved very quickly. 3 everytime I lean on a tree in the deep woods I feel like I am being absorbed by it, my brother walked right by me without noticing and I was wearing a hunter orange vest...maybe he is just not very perseptive. I get alot of interaction when I wander alone.
im irish and we always find very very tiny drawings on trees in the woods
shannon lafferty I would love to see a picture
Some things are too hard to explain scientifically to completely deny. A lot of "myths" and "legends" are actually based off true happenings. All the stories about Oberon's people have to be based on something, be it real-life faerie or whatever. I don't know if I'm a believer or not, but I do know there's too many unexplainable things out there for there to not be some truth to these legends!
If you read a history book about Columbus it sounds as a tale. He discovered a new world- they thought they would sail right off the edge- he brought back riches to the royals- blah-blah
I will look😁
Being 6'7", I see elves all the time.
🤣
Now i believe giants exist
Let me guess you only 14 as well 😂
Wood elves.....
🤣🤣🤣I'd be one to you lol
Dude just discovered this channel today and man I'm loving it. You have a great perspective on things I think and it's also kinda brave to go out on the Internet and comfortably discus topics like this without ridiculing it or whatever. I'm with you on keeping an open mind on things you can't definitely declare as untrue, or true for that matter. Fact is we don't know at this point so let's have a good time finding out :p
I was harvesting opium poppies at the garden of my bottom once when I found a very small fat person singing love me tender. It was Elvish Presley.
Someone please kill me now, this is as good as it gets.
Having had seen two creatures in my life and I was tormented by one of them for 5 years of my childhood I can say without a doubt they exist. I am a very science minded and a spiritual person, but if you understand anything about other dimensions, the possibility of these creatures having the ability to cross between the dimensions is not so crazy. Any scientist who understands the theory of relativity can tell you that in other dimensions the laws of reality could be completely different, meaning, something that we would describe as magic in this other reality could really exist. I also think the ones that come over here usually have the ability to turn invisible, which would make a sighting very uncommon. (there are a few that have been caught on camera)
Strap in guys and girls because now that were in the age of Aquarius our vibrations will be ascending sooner than we think. In the coming years sightings of supernatural beings will increase. I've recently started meditating on a regular basis and I can now see what I think are spirits zipping around my room at night, which makes sleeping at night kinda hard. That's my two cents on this subject.
Are you still alive?
😱😱 omg you are scaring me!
What kinda creatures?
@@Jusjamin The Fae, Fairies or little people
Dude, I love your videos keep it up! :)
Mikael Jack Thanks!
I find it attractive that you have an open mind. Whether they exist or not, you give a platform for “odd” stories. But you tell the stories as if you are open minded about that situation. Rather than saying “we’ve not seen them so it’s impossible that they exist” you tell the story like it’s at least a possibility!
no, elves don't exist
also, no, elves don't have me hostage in an Arizona storage facility
H-E-L-P
No.
OK closed minded person.
bye, I'm of to go to the moonlight circle ritual with my elve community.
Itl be over soon....
@ Ian Calandro -- be hard to help u as I would imagine, since Arizona is quite a large state, that there is probably a good amount of storage facilities around the state
Ian Calandro I sent you a secret tiny group of people with wings. Shhhh.
It's channels like this that I love, they explore the realm of possibility, without shoving the host's beliefs down your throat in an "accept it or get the fuck off my channel" vibe, but at the same time these sorts of channels make me sad, because it'd be great to watch channels like this that do their research and don't just rattle off stuff they've read on reddit or believe, but as they grow the law of averages states that as it grows more and more assholes are going to find it and shit all over it. I thin the coolest thing I've seen about this channel so far is Mike's interactions with the community. That's big, not a lot of channels have that anymore where they interact regularly with their audience. Keep it up Mike. You've earned my respect and I hope you're able to grow a great community full of love respect and one that's able to debate their opinions without hatred.
Just found this channel. got many videos to watch and im lovin it, thanks mike
You are amazing in gathering these stories for us! Thank you!
They found little people all over the world....... FACT There are good and bad ones just like us
I love your channel and you Mike! I always thought I was crazy for believing in so many folklore stories and reincarnation, etc. but I'm so glad there's a person out there who shares my beliefs. Anyways, here in Tunisia, old people believe in elves (my Mom included and she claims that she's seen 3 once) they're told to help people in time of need if you only call upon them (and you have to speak a certain thing to call them which I'm too scared to learn cause I'd freak out if I ever see any even though I believe in them). Keep on the great videos, Can't get enough of them and you.
Jin? Or is it a different thing?
I live in upstate New York. Once, when I was younger, in my early teen years (13-14), a friend, his father, and I found some what looked like little people tracks in the snow in the forest. Now mind you, no other tracks were near these tracks. We followed the tracks and they led to a stump and just disappeared. It was quite strange and interesting at the same time.
My dad's family was very poor when growing up, and my uncle (dad's brother) had to sleep in this room that was built outside of their home. That room was shared by my uncle and my his uncle. He said that sometimes at night, he would see small people playing a type of leap frog game, where they would jump over the other in a line.
He said that he could see them play through this window that was right outside their room. The reason I believe this, is because of the way my uncle is, a very calm and soft spoken person.. Not someone to just lie about things.
Another interesting show. Thank you. I do believe in them because years ago when I was a child of about twelve I saw them. I lived rurally and there were many wild spots with water around were I lived. One evening I came out of the bathroom with a towel around me an stepped into my room. My window was open to catch the evening breezes. There was a sassafras tree growing right next to the house with a long arm coming down right next to the window. Something caught my eye and I looked over and there they were. It was a line of little men walking down the branch and stepping onto the window sill, walking across it and then jumping out of sight. I was paralyzed with fear. I sat down on the edge of the bed afraid to move a muscle but wanting to run. I assumed I passed out because I woke up at barely the crack of dawn with the towel still around me laying on the end of the bed. As God is my witness this is true. I believe it laid the foundation of my life long fascination with the paranormal.
Yes, I believe in elves. It is entirely possible that they do exist. I love your channel! :)
Hi Beyond Science , as always I just love your video's. I wanted to say I do believe in a race of pygmy people AKA Elves, it seems obvious that they are real cause we found the graves. However, I wanted to share an interesting story out of a book called, 'Strange Stories of Alaska and the Yukon'. I'm from Alaska so found it fascinating and you were talking about not believing in the X-mas elves, but I believe I may have found the connection between that fairy tale and the truth that lays in it. The story comes from an old newspaper article where a gentleman and his friend(s) come upon a race of pygmy's that live in a hill in the city that is known in North Alaska as (go figure) The North pole. This took place long ago, I think is was the late 1800's. It is an interesting connection to the fairytale of the Christmas Elves that we tell to our kids today.
+Beyond Science I like they way you approach this kind of topics. You don't pretend to know what is going on, nor pretend you are a scientist... you just present whatever testimonial, observational accounts there are to support the possible existence of creatures or phenomena unknown to science... and you make it entertaining!...
Hobbits and elves are 2 completely different races.
+Rebecca Johnson Which is probably why he referred to them by different names...
+Rebecca Johnson Trolls and Goblins to
Kardashians in Hobbits are different? I Object.

ARMY!!!
Me, my daughter and a friend went chantrail mushroom picking in the woods just out of town. The area is a small mountain that local people say has a lot of supernatural history, things like ufo, bigfoot and evil spirits. I have been to this area many times and have had a feeling i was being watched. Creepy feeling.
This time i actually seen something, many small shadow moving between the tree trunks following us.
I asked my daughter if she was seeing something. She say yea there shadows following us. My friend over hears us and says "dont worry their just waching us".
If they leave and the woods gets silent, we must leave. I asked him what the shadows were and he said "elves and some small animals." Just then we find a huge patch of mushrooms more then enough to make the giant mushrooms lasagna. We went home and made dinner. Just another weird day in my life.
If this subject interests you, check out the instances where the existence of faerie trees in Scotland and Ireland have forced building projects to be diverted around them due to the belief that if you touch them or destroy them you will die. They aren't crazy either; documented deaths involving people who touch or destroy faerie trees are real and can be found as well.
What made me give this a thumbs up was the fact that at the end he was open-minded and didn't confirm or deny other beings existence. Not many people can be open-minded these days.
My theory is that _if_ elves and dwarves exist (or existed), that perhaps interbreeding with our homosapien ancestors could be proven by being the cause of genetics for shorter height, or, more severely, Dwarfism.
I thought "Dwarfism" was a reference to the dwarves of medieval folklore, so that's what I meant.
***** It was past midnight when I posted that comment. Ignore the "and dwarves" in the first part; I had Skyrim on my brain at the time. So that was my bad, lol My point was that dwarfism could've been caused by human-elf interbreeding.
Dovah Girlie ya probably
I so much love your videos. Very informative and straight to the point. Open mind on array of topics .
When I flicked passed this title quickly, I thought it read '5 Incidents that prove that Elvis could exist' Was disappointed when I clicked and found this instead. Bring back Elvis!
I typically pictured elves as around a regular humans height, but slightly taller/shorter. But what made it easier to tell differences was things like they would have stronger bones, or something. Like if we saw it alive (not dead) that they would be more agile, flexible, and slightly stronger then us.
These seem more like Dwarfs too me. But, the forest parts do make them seem more like elves.
they do ;)

Iceland :D
I LOVE your vids and look forward to them - the tribe is pronounced "she-SHOW- knee"- by the way. Thank you again for your videos Mike!
In my opinion since the world is so large , it true that elf and other mystical creature exist because we havent' even fully explore our own planet earth so there is a chance of its existance ...P.S. That my opinion and plz keep an open mind
+Jake 209 Smartphone.
thank you for believing in me!!
That must be true
I remember seeing little people since I can remember. I had a memory of me playing with a little person in my room late at night. I recall playing hot wheels with a little person. I remember his face very well, he had a very round face with emerald green eyes and he was 4 to 3.5 tall, he wear a Ancient Cree outfits. And I know I'm not crazy because my Grandfather is a Medicine-man also known as a Shaman and he told this group of little people to watch over me. But yes I do believe in Little people.
Dude I'm literally laughing what the hell is this? Lol
I have several photographs of what can only be described as an elf or elve. I was photographing my poppies and there is a little green man that looks like a shadow because he's all the same colour. Guessing, he is about 8 to 10 inches tall and just strolling through my poppies in my garden. I didn't notice him at first not until I zoomed into what i'd previously thought was a shaddow. He has a tall hat on his head too, shabby jacket, what looks like trousers and webbed feet. His hand looks clawed, but his face is that of an old man. I was freaked out at first, thought I must be going crazy so I showed the pics to family and friends and as they zoomed in they jolted with shock.
can I see your photo
Pics please
+Linda-Jane Slade stop inhaling your poppies so much! lol XD
And there I was thinking you were gonna say something like "can I see them" lol
:)
Love your videos! Huge fan
Number 4: That guy was high as shit
I love how your Pie Chart on the percentage of Icelanders opinions on Elves only adds up to 99% Lol. However, was an interesting video and I do enjoy your channel. Keep it up :)
i thought i saw an elf once but i was at a carnival.
Scientists say a majority of earths creatures have not been found so I like to stay open minded to any possibilities.
I personally believe elves (NOT BECAUSE I'M A NERD) Because well. Its very likely, it could of been a different evolution that made them more in touch with wild-life or spirits or something??? Idk. but its entirely possible. But we'll never know if us dumbass humans keep it up with our expanding on this planet and don't move our asses to space soon. XD
animefreakincs I believe in elves because I'm a nerd.
I believe in elves cuz I'm am a nerd too
animefreakincs I believe in elves aswell I think there a various species and races and civilizations of elves living in the multiverse.
Mad Maniak
I believe pretty much anything mythological and extraterrestrial exists. Only a few Paranorma/Supernatural things like ghosts, bigfoot and slenderman. Mostly SCPS, if anything.
Are you kidding me? So basically, you do believe in a character that was created by Eric Knudsen in 2009 for a photo contest on the website Something Awful, and then they made an awful videogame for teenagers.
Well done, I believe in Unicorns that shit rainbows.
Only reason why I’m watching this is because I’m studying about elves. I’ve seen one before but I guess I scared it. It ran behind a tree, when I went to the tree it wasn’t there anymore. I told everyone but everyone laughed the only person that believes me is my great grandma.
I believe there are many mysteries in this world we cannot explain
You said "not the kind [of elves] in the Lord of the Rings", but.... Where do you think Tolkien got a lot of his ideas? Viking mythology and folklore, which would encompass the Icelandic folklore you speak of.
Just found ur channel and watched almost all ur videos. I love what ur doing please keep up the great work!
Amanda Moriarty will do! thanks!
DUDE, looks like Dobby, the house elf
Hi from Finland! Here we have Santa and his helpers (Who btw are not so cheerful all the time, but lurking and stalking all year round behind windows if we are behaving nicely and have good manners!) but also sauna elf, mill elves, barn elf, home elf etc. Now they are becaming more rare, but when my grandparents were little, elves were highly appreciated and feared. Then if you would've make elves mad, they could have make your animals sick and make all kind of nasty pranks around the house. :)
so all midgets are elves
Kryogh no...but all elves are midgets
And jockeys.
Really, I think there probably have been "elves" in the sense that there have been whole tribes, towns, and cities with mainly only people with dwarfism living together. But, I don't think they had magical powers, or were actually an entirely different species.
Thanks mike i really like your videos and your look on life keep on doing what your doing
Whelp, as a RPG enthusiast, I like to distinguish between between 'Elf' and 'Fairy' ; P They are not supposed to be the same race! Elves are human sized treehuggers, Fairies are the really small, winged ones. XP Every fantasy fan should know that... don't mix them up, people. And don't mix them up with dwarfs either lol. XD
But no, I don't think those fantasy creatures exist in real life per se.
***** I know I know but still.. it's a good concept. Adds a little variety and substance to the whole idea. I think he did well. ^^
Video game lore, and lore from the real world vary greatly. Until you open your mind to the craziest of ideas, you won't see any of it as possible truth. There is more to this life on earth than checking our smart phones and trying to make money. Life was never intended to be about that way of life, only the material greed of bad people caused such a society on earth.
Wow. You do know that fairies and elves are based of of real mythology? When talking of such things in the real world we arent talking of freaking World of Warcraft. We are talking about the mythological side of things. In mythology an elf and a faerie are basically the same thing.
Bio Shocked uh huh.. and I'm sure you're one of those guys who already encountered a few of those, eh?
Mysticsloth I don't even believe in elves haha im just saying that claiming something based off of a fantasy game isnt credible. This video was clearly talking about the mythological side, not "omg harry potter might be real".😂 seriously though when talking about the possible existance of something ficticious would be refering to ancient myths.
man i remember watching your videos from ages ago haha, good shiet mayn keep it up
Unfortunately #5 could actually be caused by a known evolutionary pattern. Since food is scarce on small islands, especially when there are many individuals, evolution can revert to the point where animals start getting smaller as generations go on due to the lack of caloric intake. This has also happened before with elephants. Thousands of years ago there actually puppy to dog sized elephants on an isolated island that came to be due to what I just mentioned.
Your videos are really interesting.
Change the name from Elves to Dwarfs and suddenly it all becomes more plausible...
+dee clark Elves in old literature where humanoid creatures around 1 - 1.5 foot tall, unlike in modern stories like Lord of the Ring and most Fantasy RPGs and MMOs. And Dwarves were around 3 - 4 foot tall.
so much of your findings coincide with the Edgar Cayce readings..
Love it...
They are 1000% real
how do u know
iv saw a little person with my own eyes and I actually caught like a fairy thing on camera by accident I was just taking pic of my jeep and it was in front of my jeep and iv saw real little people in my country, If you know how I can get pictures off a broken phone il show you the pic of the fairy / angel that I caught on pic
grime faerie obviously I only talk about to other people that are into them b cause most don't understand but I live in uk basically in Nottinghamshire country side and iv saw a lot of strange things Sherwood Forest is just behind my house..
Okay, me and my little sister have been friends with an elf since we were 11 and 8; I can't give her true name(against elf law), but her nickname is "Tyla". She's sorta been our protector. So yes, I believe in elves, fairies, or whatever you want to call them.
+Logan Gamble where do you live?
+Kenny Spillman Oregon. I'm not saying anymore than that.
Logan Gamble its cool, i was just curious, seems several comments are from people in the USA. i have lived in America my whole life and have never heard anyone mention these before. Which is strange just because i am interested in all different creatures

I've seen Elvis
lol
i see what you did there
Hey, these are interesting videos. Good work.
I do believe in elves but not the tiny little elves, Im taking about elves like they are depicted in video games. Human height, pointy ears, think, hunters and gathers.
*****
in games such as Dragon Age they are hunters and gathers.
*****
Every time I see elves in anything, they are always hunters and gathers. Never seen them in any other way.
*****
Dragon age is not even close to being considered a bad game series.
***** rule 32
TheSSVNormandy playing too many of those video games, its only the game developers that design their version of an elf
guys the more i look at these pictures the more it reminds me of one thing... Gnomes these aren't elves, elves are just a name given to then in Iceland... these are really gnomes, masters of hiding and are very jolly nice people most of which are only 1-3 feet tall. now as far as my research reaches these gnomes exist everywhere in different gnomish subspecies such as African gnomes which are like native Africans and Icelandic and European gnomes which generally are depicted as being small bearded gentlemen and ladies inhabiting holes and in Iceland have long hair and are like small fair people and live in small rock houses. these gnomes have lived along side us for many many years, now as i see it i think gnomes are pretty cool and i would like to meet one one day
No.

How would elves be able to survive and gather enough food without being seen? Unless they live in caves and eat rocks.
To sustain a population you need a fresh source of water and plentiful and nutritious sources of food.
I don't know where you would find that in North America that is not inhabited.
TopGunPaintballer They live in another dimension. According to Irish legend, most live under hills or inside burial mounds. Their world is said to be more beautiful than words can describe. And you can find fresh sources of food and water in North America. Of course, you'd have to be careful not to be seen. I've also read that some spirits of nature eat plants.
Think, we don't know what they eat. Maybe they don't need what we need to survive.
It's what I've read. Some accounts say they eat leaves. There are people who claim they saw little men carrying spears and scouring the land for game. Maybe some are carnivores and most are vegetarians. Who know?
TopGunPaintballer Maybe they feed on cave mushrooms like falmer. XD
Gema Guevara Being a vegetarian they would need to gather even more food to get all the nutrition a mammal would need for life.
Every living thing needs nutrients especially primates.
Wow, I've never heard of Elf encounters at Mangrove Swamps Nature Reserve, or talking of real Elves in South Africa. I guess if they may exist, they'll also especially at the Knysna forest with its magical ambiance, and all of the hidden stories of the Knysna bush, with its strange unique nature etc.
Or even the aerie little Niew-Bethesda town...
Love the painting by Elsa Beskow at 3:45. They are so called älvor - basically elves, however these where believed to appear whenever there was mist and are a part of old scandinavian folklore.
Ireland has reserved large areas as National Parks, as protected areas for the Wee Folk. Because being of Irish descent myself, I can say with certainty that no one of that country who even remotely follows the older ways is going to risk pissing off the fae.
In my tribe - Ojibwe - we have a word for little people called (and I hope I spell this right) Pahiisag. Sometime they're mischievous but they can be helpful as well. I've heard they leave little bundles of sticks around and stuff like that. I've never seen one but there are many stories about them. I've heard some personal ones as well.
Beyond Science Love your vids m8!
My dad saw a silhouette of a humanoid figure 1-2 feet tall when he was a teenager. Run across a field and scurry up a tree. He says the person had a disproportionate head. He isn't the most open minded person when it comes to metaphysics but he is the most honest man I know.
Icelanders & Irelanders are right, elves, gnomes, leprechauns exist, just not in this dimension. About this channel, what's up with the nine inch nails in the backdrop? Kinda weird to just randomly have Roman Jesus crucifixion nails hanging out as a decoration in a backdrop for no reason
I have no problem with these videos. They're very interesting
i really like your videos:
much better than other similar types
who made by guys in pink trikot :)
There are two elven stories from Álftanes in Iceland , Aka where i am from. 1. The is a small hill woth very tall grass the reason of that tall grass is because of elves. When people try to cut the grass the seem to dissappear in the ground and never seen again. 2. When you come to Álftanes you will see a big rock, that rock is known because people seem to say that elves live in it. One day construction works were going to destroy it but everytime they tried a house is the distance seemed to be on fire but everytime they got there the house was fine they went back and tried again and the same thing happend. The men asked locals what was going on everytime they got the same awnser. Elves. When the men heard this they stoped and left the rock alone.

Depends on what you mean by elves. Elves in Scandinavia means spirits, or more specifically, aspects of human existence. Light elves are spirits, dark elves are bodies of the deceased. One is heavenly, one is chthonic (i.e. earthly). Hence the elves of Tolkien are based on human spirits, whereas the dwarves live underground (which is where you bury human bodies).
i love how you keep an open mind. and i hate when people claim things like this don't exist. like how do you know?? you did not explore 100% of our planet. even scientists haven't and even if they found something, ofcourse they won't tell you about it.
personally, i don't believe in elves, but i am not that arogant to claim they don't exist.
I would love to be a real elf, but like...those ones from The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings xD
Thanks for the interesting videos :D
Good informative video.
Elves do exist, but there are many variants and species. Wood elves are 4-5 feet tall, while some species are only 3 in. in heighth. This is a good channel. This guy has a really open mind and good opinions. I like his gumption.

Oklahoma has Osage little people in Osage county
iceland rocks for holding on to legends. go my friends go!
and these 'elves' couldn't just be the remains of people who suffered from dwarfism?
4:12 - Pass the cups and throw the plates, 'cuz that's what Bilbo Baggins hates!
I believe in beings like the elves and invisible people. I actually live in Wyoming and grew up on stories of the little people. A few years ago my mom and her friend were driving through a pass late at night, and mom was telling her friend about the little people and how you need to respect them. Her friend out right told mom that they did not exist. A few days later, mom's friend was driving through that same pass, and her car started to malfunction. The next time she drove through, she got a flat tire. This continued, as she had to use this pass to get to and from work, and it only stopped when she apologized to the little people.
the lost books of the bible talk about the little people that time has forgotten. if flour were dusted on the floor they wouldn't leave no foot prints, we really havent even scratched the surface yet of whats goin on.

Elves Presley was just spotted pumping gas in Tennessee. That proves to me that not only Elves exist but the King is still alive and has a good job.
However the elves from old myths were traditionally thought of as tall as adults (like Tolkien's). The tiny ones is a more modern concept and they're more related to forest sprites from various folk tales.
"Little People" and Elves are not the same thing, the typical "Christmas Elf" version of Elves that people have in their minds is from a post-Christian world view. Often times elves get confused with what people would call the Fae or your basic Nature spirits. But the Germanic mythology from which Elves originate refers to them as distinct and close in status with the Gods, they even have a distinct realm Alfheimr. So I assume their physicality and interaction with material existence would not be the type that would leave physical remains, as they are not earthbound spirits. I would even argue that Tolkiens depiction of elves is far more true to form than anything on this list. Now it is my personal belief that the ancient Germanic peoples looked at Elves in the same way that cultures all around the world think of Ancestor Spirits or even how Buddhists think of Bodhisattva's and just like Dwarves, there is nothing in Norse Mythology to suggest they are any smaller than the average person, this video would more aptly be called "5 Incidents That Prove Gnomes Could Exist" if I sound combative I don't mean to, just hoped to clear up some information as I find Little people and Elves to be extremely fascinating!
All my friends and co-workers call me Hobbit. Maybe the evidence found was of my long lost relatives!
I've never toyed with the possibility of elves actually existing. But now, after this presentation, I believe without a doubt.
I have a friend that's likely an elf. He very short, has pointed ears, acts like an elf, etc. And I'm pretty much a Hobbit, but without the curly hair.
Allow me, please: Elves don't exist. There. That wasn't so hard.
I have met a couple of people who swear they have found tiny artifacts. This was in a few decades ago. They are the most normal people you could wish to meet.
