I was walking back across the field with my mum and dog when we saw what we believe was a fairy. What we saw was had a smallish body with a head and hair. It had see-through wings bigger than a butterflies but smaller than a dragonfly. It flew up to me and my mum, hovered, then flew away. The dog also saw the fairy and watched it fly away.’ ‘I am uncertain why it was a fairy experience but I have always believed in fairies.’ ‘They are real.’
