Episode description

They stand in gardens, watching. Silent. Smiling. But where did garden gnomes come from? And what if I told you they weren’t always harmless?

In this episode, I take you deep into the eerie origins of garden gnome folklore—tales of ancient earth spirits, mischievous protectors, and the darker legends that hint at something far more sinister.

Are garden gnomes just quirky lawn decorations? Or are they something more—something that remembers, something that waits?

By the end of this episode, you may never look at them the same way again.

And remember: never break the gnomes.
