Les Documents interdits - The Forbidden Files Forbidden Documents Documentary A French series that became a cult sensation, in trying to treat supernatural phenomena such as ghosts and witches with a documentary style approach. The Forbidden Files, films of Jean-Teddy Filipppe, flirt with fantasy featuring pictures and voiceovers to create the illusion of a documentary about the strange events from around the world. Les Documents Interdits (translated "The Forbidden Files" or "Forbidden Documents"), by Jean Teddy-Felippe. They offer a glimpse into a world of the strange, the impossible, the mysterious and occasionally the terrifying. It's found footage format is very unusual for it's 1989 air date, a decade before the Blair Witch Project popularized that style of film making. 1) The Shipwreck 2) The Picnic 3) The Ghosts 4) The Divers 5) The Witch 6) The Soldier 7) The Madman of the Crossroads 8) The Child 9) The Youngs (Too graphic for YouTube) 10) The Extra-terrestrial 11) The Ferguson Case 12) Siberia 13) The Examination

The Native peoples of North America told legends of a race of "little people" who lived in the woods near sandy hills and sometimes near rocks located along large bodies of water, such as the Great Lakes. Often described as "hairy-faced dwarfs" in stories, petroglyph illustrations show them with horns on their head and traveling in a group of 5 to 7 per canoe. "How Morning Star Lost Her Fish", from Stories the Iroquois Tell Their Children by Mabel Powers, 1917 Native legends often talk of the little people playing pranks on people, such as singing and then hiding when an inquisitive person searches for the music. It is often said that the little people love children and would take them away from bad or abusive parents or if the child was without parents and left in the woods to fend for themselves.[citation needed] Other legends say the little people if seen by an adult human would beg them not to say anything of their existence and would reward those who kept their word by helping them and their family out in times of need. From tribe to tribe there are variations of what the little people's mannerisms were like, and whether they were good or evil may be different. One of the common beliefs is that the little people create distractions to cause mischief. They were believed to be gods by some. One North American Native tribe believed that they lived in nearby caves.[citation needed] The caves were never entered for fear of disturbing the little people. Legends of physical remains of tiny people being found in various locations in the Western United States, particularly Montana and Wyoming, typically describe the remains as being found in caves with various details such as descriptions that they were "perfectly formed", dwarf-size, etc. Archeologist Lawrence L. Loendorf notes that "The burials, of course, are always sent to a local university or to the Smithsonian for analysis, only to have both the specimens and research results disappear." Loendorf also suggests that the discovery of two mummies of anencephalic infants in the first half of the twentieth century with deformities that caused some people to believe they were adults has "contributed to public belief in the existence of a group of tiny prehistoric people." Lewis and Clark reported in their journals that Native Americans in the vicinity of Spirit Mound, South Dakota held a belief in little people who inhabited the mound. Clark wrote that the local Native Americans could not be persuaded to approach the mound, as they feared these tiny "Deavals" and considered them to be dangerous. Although members of Lewis and Clark's party visited the mound, they did not encounter any unusual beings. A graveyard unearthed in the 1830s in Coshocton County, Ohio, was believed to contain skeletons belonging to a pygmy race. In fact, the graves (which were roughly 3 feet (0.91 m) long) were "bone burials" containing disarticulated or bent bones packed together.
