In 1979, a group of schoolchildren in Wollaton Park, Nottingham, reported a bizarre encounter with tiny, gnome-like figures. The children claimed to see the gnomes riding small cars, laughing, and playing in the park. Despite sounding like a whimsical fairy tale, the incident has intrigued paranormal enthusiasts and sceptics alike for decades. Was it mass imagination, a playful hoax, or something more mysterious? The Wollaton Gnome Encounter remains one of England’s most peculiar and enduring unexplained events.
