‘I had done a deep meditation at home and then went for a walk with my dog. We went down a path bordering a field to one side and woodland to the other. After a short distance I was aware of movement in the grass to my right. Ozzy my dog never reacted. I looked expecting to see a hedgehog perhaps but quite clearly saw a very small person ‘Elf?’ about eight inches high with a green jacket and a small pointed hat. He – 99% sure it was a he – was walking away from me. I lost him in the grass, which was also about eight inches high. I went back later with my wife and could not find the grassy patch! Very very odd. I have also seen a fairy, but that was about twelve years ago. Also very odd. That time my dog Poppy also saw it.’ ‘Like a garden gnome.’ ‘It was an elf, clearly. I have also seen Ghosts and a UFO experience when I was about twelve which had a profound effect on me.’ ‘[Fairies are] energies, that we interpret somehow. e.g. daisy energy = daisy fairy.’ ‘I had been reading about fairies angels etc prior to the experience.’
