‘I was excited as we were going out for the day.’ ‘I was buckled into a seat in the back of my granddad’s car waiting for my sister to join us I watched a creature in the hedgerow at the side of the road hovering around the blackberries. I pointed it out to my brother and my nan who saw something but were further away so didn’t see the details that I could. When my sister and granddad came out of the house it went behind the tree, I believe it was a faery.’‘It was about two inches in height, it had thin wings like a crane fly and a very slim upright body with two long legs and larger feet. I did not see arms but the creature had what looked like a raggedy skirt on. It was orangey brown in colour. I was fascinated by insects as a child (and still am now) but was unable to identify it in any book I found.’ ‘I’m totally open to someone debunking my story and identifying it as a bug of some sort. I suppose it could have been an alien but I don’t really imagine them as small things. LOL!’
