‘I was working in my garden when I saw a diminutive woman dressed in a white robe with her arms akimbo and face lowered to the ground standing about two hundred metres away. As I watched her, she stood still, but when I stopped looking briefly and then returned my gaze she had come closer. This happen three times until she was about fifty metres away and when I looked down and back again she was gone. This scenario repeated itself five more times in a month.’ ‘Humanesque.’ ‘The only other possibility that seems to fit is [an] angel, but these experiences did not feel or evoke religious feelings for me.’ ‘[Fairies are] creatures with uncanny traits.’
