‘I fell asleep in the chair in the living room and woke at around 3 am. There was a green light coming from the clock on the video recorder (the video was broken – only the clock worked and was normally a blue light). Behind the clock digits was a faery face. A faery then flew out of the video in a shower of green light and flew round the room. Behind it was another which also flew out followed by more. They were all lining up one behind the other and came out in single file. There was also a large female faery in a purple dress. She was kneeling in front of the TV. I did not see her come out of the clock – she was already there. Her hands were held as if she was praying and she remained like that all the while the other faeries were coming out of the clock. I think she must have been some sort of Gatekeeper. The faeries were flying round for ages – zooming round in a swirl of green light. I was afraid to blink in case they disappeared. But when I did blink they were still there. I must have watched them for ten to twenty minutes until I fell asleep. When I woke again it was daylight and they had gone. It was a magical experience.’ ‘Small ones were just a whizz of green light. They had pointy ears and elfin faces. Larger faery was about one- to two-feet tall kneeling down – long hair I think and a purple dress.’ ‘[It was a fairy] because I know the difference between faeries and angels and other phenomena!!’ ‘Mortal beings that can exist in the spirit world and the physical world.’
