I wouldnt even think of posting this story if i didnt know it to be true, told to me by the county sherrif himself. Theres a fellow in the north end of our county, and although he is a nice fellow, he is shall we say, mentally challenged. well he lives in a remote area, but some poeple that kinda knew him and kinda kept an eye out had called the sherrifs dept and asked them to check on him as he had been acting kindof agitated. When the deputy approached his place, he welcomed them in, when they noticed one door all barricaded up. When they asked about the door, he proceeded to tell the deputys that he had "caught" a "troll" and that they couldnt open the door or he might get away. He kept insisting they leave his "troll" alone, it was his and he had caught it. Well the officers couldnt leave without figuring out what this troll was. they figured he had caught some animal or something. Turns out when they got in the room, seems there was a fellow that happened to be spreading the word of jesus in the area, and just so happened he was a dwarf... Yes a Midget type dwarf. The mentally challenged fellow just knew he had caught a "troll".I can just imagine mentally the "capture". He had the smaller gentleman tied up in the bedroom for about thirty hours.like i said, if the sherriff hadnt told me this first hand, i wouldnt have believed it either.No one was charged. and everyone involved seemed to want to just go home and forget it happened.true story although it does sound like an Andy Griffith episode So if yall get way out in the country and maybe dont look like the locals, Be Careful out there!!Just thought id share with you guys-Phil
