But the structure wasn’t the only oddity. Scattered nearby were a few items…unusual ones. The kind that raises questions rather than answers them.

Of all the items uncovered, one stood out as particularly strange... A homemade broom, its straw bristles fastened with black tape, lay nearby. It wasn't elegant, but it was deliberate, crafted with intent.

The straw or dried grass bristles are tightly bound with black tape, giving it a distinctly handcrafted, almost improvised look. What’s fascinating is the intent behind it. Someone went to the trouble to make this tool, and judging by its wear and positioning, it wasn’t just decorative.

Now remember, the hut itself is small. Too small for any adult to inhabit comfortably. Which raises a chilling question: who, or what, was living there?

Whoever it was… they seemed to care about cleanliness. The broom wasn’t just discarded; it looked used. As if someone, or something, had been sweeping the threshold to keep it tidy.

Beside the hut is a well-made fire ring. It doesn't appear ceremonial, so I would assume it was functional. The kind you’d build quickly, or over time, just enough to warm a space or cook a basic meal. Yet paired with the broom and the tiny scale of the hut… it adds a layer of domesticity that’s oddly unsettling.

Who would go to the trouble of keeping a threshold tidy and building a fire in such a remote place? It almost feels like someone was trying to live unseen, or wasn’t meant to be seen at all.

The mystery deepens. This isn’t just an abandoned structure. It may be a glimpse into something still unfolding.

The hut stands around five feet tall, small, compact, and oddly intentional. Its remote placement deep within the property only heightened the mystery. It wasn’t built for comfort… at least not for adult human habitation.

Built from sticks and scavenged wood, set low to the ground with a semi-hidden entrance, it has the feel of something not meant for comfort… but concealment. No insulation, no creature comforts, no signs of a long-term stay. It’s minimalist survival, or maybe minimalist presence.

There was something about the site that feels… intentional. Unnatural in its quiet. The fire ring. The handmade broom. The hut barely brushing five feet in height. All tucked into the woods like a secret that wanted to stay buried.

The first thought? Little People. It may sound strange, but in Appalachian and Native lore, these elusive beings are said to inhabit remote pockets of wilderness, guardians, tricksters, watchers. Not seen often… but felt.

Maybe this was a shelter. A ritual space. Or a dwelling for something that doesn’t appear in daylight.

Of course, there could be other explanations. But the scale, the craftsmanship, the care, it doesn’t feel like vandalism or random clutter. It feels like a whisper from the treeline.

Is this hut a relic of something forgotten? Or is it still in use… by someone, or something that prefers to stay hidden?

The Little People

They’re called the Yunwi Tsunsdi: the Little People of the mountains. In Cherokee tradition, they’re said to be no taller than a child’s knee, yet wise beyond measure. Hidden deep in the forests and caves of Appalachia, they move unseen, their laughter sometimes carried on the wind like distant chimes.

There are three types:

• Laurel People—mischievous tricksters, known for playful pranks

• Rock People—more temperamental, best left undisturbed

• Dogwood People—gentle caretakers, protectors of nature, and the lost

They speak Cherokee and their own language. They’ve been known to help those in need—especially during times of hardship. Some stories say they followed the Cherokee during the Trail of Tears, offering comfort and protection when hope was scarce.

But they’re not to be taken lightly. Disturb their dwellings, take what isn’t offered, and you might find yourself lost… or worse, cursed. Respect is key. Some elders still leave offerings, cornbread, tobacco, or whispered thanks, before entering the woods.

This discovery is still unfolding. Details continue to emerge, and for now, the site remains a mystery. Could the structure be man-made? Certainly. But its size, its isolation, and the peculiar items found nearby suggest something far stranger.

This doesn’t feel like a space meant for human habitation. Not in the conventional sense. Until more is known, it stands as an anomaly, tucked away in the woods, quietly challenging what we think we understand.

We hope to provide an update near future.
