"...It seems impossible to believe that these persistent reports, these frequent sightings, are hallucinations. But consider several other matters recently reported in the newspapers. What about these?

     “Alfred Scadding of Kingswood Road, Toronto, Ont., (Canada) is the sole survivor of three men trapped in the famous 1936 Moose River Mine disaster. Recently Scadding made a confession to George Bryant of the ‘Toronto Daily Star’.

     “Minutes before the mine caved in, he said, he was on his way to join the others. ‘I came to a cross-out, a tunnel running across the one I was in, and as I passed (I) looked left. I saw a small light, like a flashlight, about two feet from the ground and swinging as if in someone's hand, moving away from me.  

     "’Yet, as we later learned, there wasn't another human being down there at that time.’

    “Bryant recalls the belief of older miners in the reality of gnomes. If they are seen it portends a big strike or a major disaster.

     "’And two minutes after I saw that light the mine came in on us.’

    “After they were trapped Scadding and Dr. Eddie Robinson, both conscious and apparently clear-headed, heard a sound like children playing off in the distance.

     "’There was shouting and laughter, as of little people having fun,’ he says. ‘We both heard it so clearly we thought there was a vent to the surface. But there wasn't. It went on for 24 hours...'” (... following which they were rescued. )
