The nose was large and bulbous and the eyes were rather deep set. The face was partially covered by a long salt and pepper beard and on top of the head was a long, red pointed hat. The figure was about two to three feet in height, wore black baggy pants and a gold colored shirt. Looking in the direction of the noise Tammy noticed about 50 yards from her a small humanoid looking figure. Thinking nothing of it she picked up a grocery bag and noticed it again, this time accompanied by what she described as a "very freaky, very evil sounding chuckle". One night Tammy and her son were coming back from grocery shopping when, as she parked the car and got out, noticed movement to her right. For some reason most of the animals on the farm seemed to avoid the rickety old building and soon she noticed that the number of her ducks and chickens had started to dwindle, but couldn't figure out why. Soon after moving in Tammy started feeling like something was watching them and had an uneasy feeling ever time she walked by the old barn. The first incident occurred when a woman by the name of Tammy moved herself and her three children into a small farmhouse on the Tule River near Porterville. So imagine my surprise (and a bit of shock) when I came across a story of a supposedly evil gnome that was terrorizing a farm house near Porterville. I love strange creature stories and am always lamenting the fact that the Central Valley is lacking in them (unless you want to count the numerous sighting of dogs with mange being reported as Chupacabras).
