"I described being interviewed on television at the 1978 Edinburgh Festival by a man named Bobbie (whose surname I forgot to note in my journal); in the pub next door he told me casually that he had once seen a gnome standing on the pavement outside a convent gate and that it had 'scared the hell out of him'".
-Colin Wilson, The Mammoth Encyclopedia of the Unsolved
Now, the pub may have nothing to do with this gnome sighting. I mean, the gnome could have been real! Its just that you needed to be potchkied to see it!
