My mom used to talk about all of her ghost and witch stories from when she was growing up in the Philippines as well. She swears that they are all true and that she has seen some of these ghosts and witches herself!!

That gnome story is kinda funny!! I'm with you Connie, if I were a gnome, I would pop up from time to time just to scare people as well. Gotta have fun being a gnome somehow!!
