I have a small problem..

I think theres a small man stealing my things in my house. Ive been missing my remote for my descrambler and some socks. Today I lost my glasses. Checked my entire house and nothing! I think the small man comes out and steals my stuff when everyones asleep or not looking... If i catch him im going to cut him limb from limb and eat him.

It's fae. Leaving some food out for them, and wine if you have it, will help sometimes. Generally i've found that if you acknowledge them and tell them to give it back whatever you lost will turn up in a day or so. Keep a good humor about it-- be firm, but friendly. If you're a jerk they'll turn ugly and fuck with you even more, and if you refuse to acknowledge them they'll they may get bored and leave but they'll hide even more stuff first. Iron (pure iron, not steel or some other alloy) repels them, but it's bound to upset them if you use it to drive them out. That's about all the advice I can think of atm, but i'll post more if I think of it later.

Good luck! ^_^

Just give him bad self esteem. Then he'll never want to leave his little hut or whatever the hell the tiny thieves like to live in these days.
Start walking around the house and say "Man, I knew you were small, but SHEESH" and then laugh, you know he's gotta be within earshot.

That always worked against me.

Guys this is NOT the nonsense boards. Keep it serious or DON'T POST!

Forgotton_Dream: Thank you for the post. That sounds about right. I've never had one, but the description and answer sounds similiar to what I've heard before.

I surely hope you aren't serious.



My serious response:
1) How do you know it wasn't a woman? As has been asked.

2) If you cut him limb from limb, you will be in deeper doo doo than someone who steals a few things from you.

3) Now we have the whole "eating him" situation. Cannibalism is not something that will get you locked up for a few weeks or given community service as punishment. At minimum, you will be facing a maximum prison term and/or admitted into an insane asylum.

4) Aren't descramblers ilegal too?

This board has the same rules as any other board. Its purpose are for those of us that believe in something extra.. it is not a place to poke fun at our beliefs.

It might be a ghost or fae, or someone is seriously ripping him off... if he's asking for help.. then I think it isn't out of this world to actually provide help.

If that comment looks familiar, look up about 5 posts. Maybe people don't take anything seriously if it doesn't come from a moderator. Look at the rules fo the forum. A few jokes are OK to keep it lighthearted and entertaining, but don't start ridiculing people.

If anyone needs a quick refresher on the rules of this forum, check out this link:

I have shit like that hapen all the time. We moved into a historic home a couple of years ago, and ever since little random things just go "poof". For example, my wife got me a pair of deer skin slippers, and one evening I went to put them on and one was missing. Thinking the dogs might have swiped it (something they've never done before) I tore the house apart looking for it. I still can't find it. There was also the incident with a vintage 50's era baseball card that magically appearred on the floor of my office one day. I sat it on my book shelf and a few days later it was gone. It just showed up in my closet the other day.

Something weird is going on because my dogs will out of the blue go tearing upstairs barking like mad for no reason.

Oh, yeah, and who can forget the bird that was in the upstairs hallway closet. Scared the shit out of my wife.

What I find funny is the people who can't beleive any of this stuff can happen. I think it is arrogant of us to think we can actually say something is impossible. There is so much that can't be explained, if we can't explain EVERYTHING then in my opinion we can't say ANYTHING is impossible. The house I grew up in was haunted. We never knew until all of the kids grew up and moved out, When it was just my mom and dad there and things happened they couldn't blame us kids for, then they started realizing that things that we IMPOSSIBLE were actually happening. I think this happens alot

My aunt lived next door to a woman who's house was haunted. The spirit was a light hearted prankster, and loved hiding things. He or she went so far as to move things to my aunt's house. I remember at one time, the neighbor was missing, of all things, a bar of soap out of her shower. It showed up - sitting on my aunt's sofa.

i took forgotten_dreams advice and one day while laying down on the sofa i tried to speak with fae. i told her to to please give my stuff back nicely but to no avail. to this day i still have not found my remote or my glasses. and what pisses me off is that those glasses were new and i only had them for a day. man she loves to fuck with me. i given up looking for my glasses and now drive on the freeway legally blind. so if you see me coming your way you better move.

If it is a spirit, sprite, or 'fae', you have to be careful in choosing your bbq sauce. This is not ridicule, but a matter of taste. I find this to be a very light hearted thread. Dwezz asked if he had a pointy hat. Other than Gak, everyone has seemed to enjoy this, and it IS within the realm of paranoia. I lose stuff, too. AND it's not always where I left it. Spirits could be causing problems because they find us easy prey as far as jokes and teasing. I figure it's ok just to laugh along with them. Who knows, they might grant a wish!

Honestly, none of the above helps. He's like Freddy Kreuger or Jason Voorhees. No matter how you destroy him or wish him away he'll just keep coming back. As long as there are socks in the world and remote controls...... it's an endless cycle.
