‘While walking from home to catch a bus early morning I saw what I can only describe as a classic Tinker Bell fairy hovering over the middle of the road. It turned saw me and flew into a garden hedge. I passed the spot but saw nothing further. However a year or so I was reading a book on local myths etc and this street was mentioned as having had previous sightings of fairies including groups.’ ‘Like a Disney fairy! All white clothing and seeming to have a faint glow. Sounds even more crazy when I write this!’
