A survey of modern fairy experiences by Dr Simon Young

§192

Alberta, Canada 2010s
Female: Age 11-20 occasional supernatural experiences
in a city 9 pm-12 am one to two minutes with one other person who shared my experience
‘I was ill and getting some air going for a walk with my husband’
no fairy mood reported
profound silence before the experience, a sense that the experience marked a turning point in your life, a sudden warmth before the experience

‘I was feeling quite sick and needed to throw up unfortunately, but my husband and I saw this beautiful bright light that had a trail behind it. It was spectacular, it landed on my shoulder and my husband saw it fly off. It was magic. It was quite dark and the light from the fairy was incredibly bright. It was blue or green maybe even a mix in between. It was winter and there was snow on the ground. It all happened so fast but knowing we both saw it just means so much to me. I’ve seen them before but this was the first time I shared my experience with someone else.’ ‘It was a bright light that had a trail of light behind it because it was flying so fast.’ ‘Little bells and chimes.’ ‘It could have been [?] but I really believe it was a fairy.’
