An honest skeptic would acknowledge he can't fully dismiss this guy's claims at this time. He would also consider the body of 'like' claims from sane people. Hey guy, I understand how impossible anything outside of our normal physical realm seems. I try not to get too addicted to that comfortable feeling of knowing as this universe is a mind blower I am already convinced. Did more reading and video watching last night on little people claims. I have to believe there are impossible seeming realms beyond our normal one. The etheric and astral planes/realms probably contain a myriad of things that our everyday mind would have to assume are fantasy. It's obvious CGI. So the only way it works for you is if these pixies are deliberately trying to exhibit bad physical actions to support the CGI explanation. 20 hours ago, papageorge1 said: Can you even imagine a little people photo/video that wouldn't look humorously fake? Just think before answering. Humorously fake is something you have supported in multiple cases. A realistic little person video would look realistic. Physics would look right etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most prolific posters here are antagonistic to everything paranormal/alien/crypto. This forum needs more Papas. And I acknowledged how even I have an incredulous wall built up against the concept of little people. 6 hours ago, Still Waters said: Why do you think they are? The old trick of if I say something is possible I am saying IT IS real and probably should even have PROOF in hand for the likes of you guys. Sheesh, the words that get put in my mouth. I have given my reasons multiple times already why this guy MIGHT be real. An etheric realm of reality is certainly a mind blow but I think it is highly likely too. But isn't everything paranormal a mind blow that some of us come to accept. Whether Saunders has caught it on camera is the question I haven't answered.

XenoFish Posted July 10, 2020 #135 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Explanations of the Myth Some scholars believe that Pixie folklore is, in fact, based on a real, ancient race of people who lived in or near southern England. The Pict tribe, famous for their blue war paint, are often pointed to as “real life Pixies,” but the theory is undermined by the fact that the Scottish tribe was located a good distance from Devon and Cornwall. Other scholars believe that a race of pygmy people might have lived on the islands off the coast of Southern England. https://mythology.net/mythical-creatures/pixie/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I've done what I could in looking around beyond this forum. But saying 'it's obvious to anyone' is still an overstatement after my further research. He has been at this for at least 25 years or so and one of the videos showed a picture him his younger days. I am probably influenced more than the average person by my acquaintance with other people that definitely seem to mean to be serious including Native American Robyn MoonShadow. I've seen these sources get into details that would have no entertainment value to regular people. We've had regular anonymous people even on this forum discussing encounters with akin things. Go figure what is all going on and an honest person won't have the full certainty they exude. Yes, I believe the etheric realm and these pixies are something between real and imaginary. MoonShadow was hinting that even Bigfoot was a related subject. Regular people see these huge and mostly little creatures that don't fit into physical science. Also I am convinced a lot of this universe falls outside our normal and intellectually acceptable box. Can I fully explain it all or provide proof, No. I am convinced a real Unexplained Mystery exists in this stuff.

Hardly a dismissal. Any oxygen to the paranormal/alien/crypto and some can't think straight with madness. That's an unfortunate side to what this forum is becoming.

If you want people agreeing with you on poorly done cgi fairy videos you can try reddit. In some subs mods will ban you if you point out bad cgi or explain why pareidolia is a thing and probably jesus is not talking to you at night on a toast. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised by this. You are the guy we had a multi-page argument with about a piano wire.... Even when a person who knows a lot about piano's told you the wires break you still dismissed it. And my experience with metal working and knowing how weather affects steels didn't knock a dent in your assumption. If you think CGI = Real, then you're a lost cause. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
