Welcome to another episode of Cryptid Ramblers Podcast, as we hit number twelve in the series. We hit off this episode celebrating our favourite state in the world, yes on 20th June it was West Virginia day. So we couldn't do an episode without showing some love to our home from home. 

Once the festivities are done with and as the title suggests, we dive deep into the world of the mystical world of gnomes, goblins, dwarves and the like. For the origins of these mischievous little beings we stay mostly in the British isles, before taking a trip over to mainland Europe and exploring the Germanic and Spanish iterations. 

It wouldn't be right if we didn't venture over to the other side of the pond, so join us as we go through some intriguing stories and possible encounters. On this special day, do we end up in good old West Virginia...

Do we find compelling evidence to prove their existence or are they nothing more than a fairy tale.
