This will sound dumb but a few years ago my uncle went camping/pig hunting in the middle of the bush in the Northern Territory and in the middle of the night heard whistling and rustling off in the distance. A history of family dumb assery (especially on that side of the family who live in the NT) meant he decided to brave the darkness and go for a walk and follow the noise. Eventually he caught up to it and in the distance saw a bunch, like ten or so, of little people sort of running around with each other. He said they were the height of young children but had adult-like features. My guess is it was a group of indigenous kids and his eyes were playing tricks on him late at night. Still would be pretty creepy to hear whistling in the bush at night.

Sounds like either little Demons. (Yes, Demons are real and they do hide out in Woods/Forests/ etc)
Or their Dwarfs. But a real life Goblin? Idk... Guess I'd have to see one for myself, before I can believe it.

Did you know that in the Harry Potter series of books J.K. Rowling used Goblins as caricatures of Jews? You can tell they're meant to be an antisemitic stereotype because of their long noses and control of the economy.

Antisemitic themes related to Goblin have been linked to the fantasy specie long before Harry Potter. Whether it was originally a coincidence or whether they were a depicted to be antisemitic from their very conception is a subject that has long been debated. The classic goblin representation though - especially in modern media has existed long before Rowling. Did she break the cycle? Maybe not - although changing representations of fantasy races often proves to be much harder than it seems. A lot of these fantasy creatures are not woke.

Jareth was a sorcerer.....not a goblin.

You need magic to be that fly and sing like that.
