‘I had a very fertile garden and had just watered it. I was at my back door and I was aware of a very small insect creature which hovered examining me. I am aware it isn’t an insect from its more human body language. At the time I reported it to the Fortean Times, and was informed I had my experience on the eve of a blue moon.’ ‘[The fairy] matched folklore.’ ‘[Fairies are] a creature of earth.’ ‘I loved seeing a fairy. Life is about experiences and this was one.’
