In Wampanoag legend, that creature is the Pukwudgie. They could be compared to gnomes or fairies of European folklore. Due to their penchant for teasing humans with harmless pranks, they appear rather charming compared to other mythical monsters.. People have described them as human-like, except much smaller. Some have said they have a canine-like nose, large ears, lips, and fingers, and have been compared to trolls, goblins, or leprechauns. Tonight, Christina and I share some modern pukwudgie encounters, that seem more frightening, than charming. Hope you enjoy!
