Collected between 1971 to 1973, these three interviews conducted by former Salisbury University students Jenny Bradshaw, Madonna Polk, and Debi Panicucci, told of local accounts of little people ("pinies") and of the sightings and interactions with them. All interviews include interviewers personal description, informants personal description, and the story told.

One interview described the little people near Wharton Track, New Jersey as thieves who live in the woods, do not believe in modern society and try to destroy it. The locals call these little people pinies.

The second interview tells of a account where a man followed a little man of of town and took it as a omen to stay away.

The third interview the interview tells of the legend at Rhodes Point Bridge on Smith Island. It was said the on the night of a full moon, if one stands at the bridge and curses, a tiny creature three feet tall with red eyes will come out. If the person moves it will return to the water not to be seen until the next full moon.
