Many people, for example Filipinos (tabi-tabi) and Irish (leprechauns), believe in "little people". I wonder how many forum members do.

They are always misplacing my socks, and I keep ending up one pair down. But I find them eventually, though usually just after buying more socks  :-\

I remember when i was young, i was fascinated by the story of the Cottingley Fairies. When it was exposed as a hoax, i was rather upset.

The lovely area of Dartmoor in the south of England is supposedly full of pixies. There is a grave by the roadside called Jay's Grave, where there is always fresh flowers. Legend says they are put their by the pixies every day.

Sounds like rubbish, but it is a creepy place.

Indeed. But come on, Thal; what are the names of your two pixies? TELL US ALL NOW!

Of course pixies are real.  They are a necessary ingredient of pixie sticks.

Of course pixis exist. Whatever next  :o Someone will probably try to claim that the tooth fairy doesn't exist!  Well I know for a fact that he does, coz I always got money left at the bottom of the glass where my old tooth was when I woke up in the morning.  Clear, undeniable proof!

And as for pixis, haven't you seen Peter Pan - caught on film, no less!  ;)
