It seems they are a genuine phenomenon; a few people do actually see fairies in the bottom of their garden, and elsewhere.  :???:

"There's a Rare Hallucination That Makes You See Tiny People, And Nobody Knows Why" | Science Alert

QuoteIn all its dazzling complexity, the human brain can produce remarkable experiences indeed. For some, that means hallucinations of tiny people, dashing about before their very eyes.

Hallucinations of diminutive humans can be entertaining or terrifying depending on whom you ask, and accounts of these 'microptic' or 'Lilliputian' visions are rather scarce in the scientific literature. In fact, few researchers have tried to figure out what's behind these strange experiences in the first place.

In the early 1900s, French psychiatrist Raoul Leroy took an interest in sightings of human figures comparable to the tiny inhabitants of Lilliput in Jonathan Swift's famous 1726 novel, Gulliver's Travels. To him, it was a mystery of the mind, one begging for a scientific explanation.

"Such hallucinations exist outside of any micropsy, whereas the patient has a normal conception of the size of the objects which surround him, the micropsy bearing only on the hallucination," Leroy wrote in the introduction of one specific case.

"They sometimes occur alone, sometimes accompanied by other psycho-sensory disorders."

The small handful of cases curated by Leroy was remarkably diverse, though in general, he noted the visions were colorfully dressed, highly mobile, and mostly affable. Occasionally, the sightings were of individual figures, though most patients reported them as appearing in groups, interacting with the material world as if they were truly present, climbing chairs, squeezing under doors, and respecting the pull of gravity.

Maybe if they stopped gobblin' down the sprite this odd little pixelated view can be dwarved by reality.

Gnome what I'm saying?
