THE LITTLEST TERROR. THE NEEDLE IN THE LEAVES. THE LAST THING YOU’LL SEE FROM THE GROUND.
Pukwudgies might look small, but they’ve been haunting the forests of New England long before colonists ever set foot on it. Known in Wampanoag lore as tricksters turned malevolent, these two-to-three-foot tall creatures are said to carry poisoned darts, vanish into trees, and lure the unwary to their doom.
Their faces shift between human and goblin, their eyes burn with spite, and their motivations range from mischievous to murderous. Some say they’ve been seen stalking hikers along the edges of the Freetown-Fall River State Forest. Others… haven’t come back to say anything at all.
They can shapeshift, start fires with their minds, and mimic voices — the perfect predator for anyone too curious about strange lights in the woods.
Don’t follow the lights. Don’t answer the whispers. Don’t assume you’re alone.
