“Little Man” functions here as a recurring printed descriptor rather than one stable named figure. The matched records most often sit within the “Spirit-Person Narratives” archive category, with the “Giant and Ogre Narratives” category also present; ordinary, literary, and supernatural uses may coexist, so the entry should not be read as a single sighting tradition. The accepted archive contains 11 records from 1893–1898. No regional concentration is currently coded, and the largest source group is Project Gutenberg (6). These distributions describe archive coverage, not real-world incidence.
