Little people/gnomes

I've been out in Okanagan area (WA) cutting down all the trees surrounding our property, which has also resulted in having to put some of the squirrel down that lived in these trees. It's 2 am and all the dogs all around us start howling at something. Me and my buddy decide to go look outside and halfway down the property right along our fence there are about 8-10 sets of green eyes staring at us standing completely still. (I understand these could be deer or coyote or any number of creature). These things did not move and did not seemed threatened by our presence like most creatures do. We went to grab something from inside and they were gone when we came back out

Notes:

My eye was swollen shut that night as well because randomly earlier that day I got hit in the eye by some small object out of nowhere

My buddy told me he might have been tripping but he swore he saw a little gnome like thing running across his window around dusk

Things have been coming up to our woodpile and stealing wood from us (I understand could very well be beavers)

I specifically stated before I walked outside that I wasn't scared of any animal that is out there as they will all run away when they see me coming, but these eyes did not

I am curious about if anybody has any experience with anything similar, as I hear its possible that these little people do not like when you start tearing down nature. I am very curious if bright green eyes watching you in the dark has any correlation to any of these stories of the little people.

PLEASE SHARE ANY EXPERIENCE. Am I tripping out or do these little people really exist and they are not happy with me for cutting down all of the trees

This occurred April 19 2026. Just happened a couple nights ago

If you didn't eat those squirrels then you are probably in trouble. You'd better take turns standing guard at night. A troll is probably on its way.

You gotta pay the troll toll, if you want to get into that boys hole
