‘Standing at the checkouts waiting for the wife to pick up a last minute item. Pretty zoned out when this ‘big moth’ came straight at me. Felt like it was going to hit me in the face and went to swat it out of the way. Realised that it wasn’t a moth, but was some kind of little man, dressed in red jacket and green trousers. Don’t know who was more shocked, me or him. Thought I had connected in the swat, but could find neither moth (nor fairy) when searched the floor area. Was quite disturbed to think that I may have ‘killed a fairy’…’ ‘Just like a little man wearing red jacket and green trousers. The wings were much more substantial than I’d have expected – more organic than the run of the mill ‘ethereal’ type wings usually depicted.’ ‘[Fairy because] size, mainly. Never occurred to me that it could be anything other.’ ‘[Fairies are] elemental? Other dimensional entities? No idea, if totally honest.’ ‘Something fundamental changed that day. Been over ten years, but still trying to come to terms with the what and why of the experience.’
