I found something interesting today...never heard of this before:

Hey everyone, first time poster here. I've always been a firm believer in the paranormal and have had my fair share of strange occurrences/encounters. I'm quite curious to know if anyone has had a similar experience to mine.

Before I begin, If you're unfamiliar with Redcaps - they're a type of malevolent fae/goblin found in English folklore. I was a bit startled to discover this artists depiction looks disturbingly similar to what I'd seen, except the head was significantly larger than the body in my case. Also, it wasn't wielding a weapon from memory.

This was a very early childhood memory. I can't recall my exact age at the time, but I'd estimate that I was around 5-7 years old. Unfortunately I can only recount a small/specific point in the story, but nonetheless this is what happened. I was in my parents bedroom, crying in fear, as I witnessed what appeared to be a very short, malicious looking, fair skinned "goblin", wearing a pointed red cap. It simply stood on the end of the bed, laughing maniacally at me. My mother was trying to calm me down and had no idea why I was so hysterical, since she couldn't see or hear anything. So seemingly, only I was able to see this entity. That's all I can remember, sadly. I have absolutely no recollection of what happened after that and never saw this being again. Does anyone have thoughts or insight on what they believe I may have witnessed? - zanvyn
