Sounds in your house like a fox scuttling about, a hand grabbing you from behind only to see nothing behind you. The age old creature, the elf, has been a pivotal part of history not only in the Irish or European cultures but also in the South American culture as… the Duende. “I’m Joshua Gregory and this is Ology…
