§154

‘I was inside a Neolithic tomb and saw a number of beings crowding around our group. They had large, black slanted eyes except for one who was bearded and seemed to be in charge. He was screaming at them and being nasty to the beings who seemed incredibly passive but curious about us. They pressed around us.’ ‘Like humans, but very pale with really large, shiny, oval black eyes. There was another with them who was bearded and looked human. He was smaller.’ ‘I couldn’t hear anything. I saw that the bearded one was screaming at the others but couldn’t hear a thing-just saw the mouth move and his angry expression.’ ‘I got the impression that the beings wouldn’t harm me because (and this sounds really odd, I know) I was connected to them and the land because I am from Ireland and they recognised me as that. Not really a nationality thing, more of a connection with the place sort of thing to be honest.’ ‘I have seen quite a few beings as my career means I have spent a fair amount of time in old places. I have seen a man coloured gold and flashing sparks in Dowth passage tomb in county Meath and a group of five figures (again with large, black eyes) at the Grianan Aileach in county Donegal. That was very peculiar as they said I was related to them and that I chose to be born human. They were all dressed like they were from the eighteenth century and the experience lasted for hours. They showed me visions of me being pushed on a swing by one of the women when I appeared to be a fairy child. Anyway, it’s all been a bit odd and I have no idea what to make of it but… there you go!’ ‘[What are fairies?] I don’t know.’
