Gremlins

By Crusader1307

A more modern spirit-demon, Gremlins were first spotted by British Royal Air Corps. Pilots in World War I. Seen as the cause of aircraft malfunctions and poor bomb runs, they were first thought to have been conjured by The Imperial German Air Corps. - as a way to harass their enemies (in the air). Seldom seen  (when they are), they are described as being small, hairless (or furry) little creatures  with great teeth and claws. The will try to brake cables, interfere with radio communications -  just about anything to damage or cause the aircraft to crash. The Gremlins carried onward into World War II (with American Pilots experiencing them as well). Aircraft ground crews also reported these strange goblin-like creatures. Soon, civilian Pilots began to report strange and unexplained attacks or sightings. One well documented case came from Charles Lindberg. During is cross Atlantic flight from New York to Paris, Lindberg reported hearing strange growls and voices throughout his plane. His instruments also acted oddly at times (he never reported it and only wrote about it many years later in his auto-biography). Hollywood and several modern writers have given The Gremlin a more evil and supernatural method of attack. Normally, Gremlins have no known way of being done away with.
