‘I woke up at 2:30 in the morning standing on the steps of my deck, with no recollection of getting there. The door closest to get into the house was locked. I looked out into the yard before turning to go back inside. The grass near the swing set appeared as if it was blowing in the wind, but there was no wind. I don’t know why I went over to it and look, but I did. I looked on the swing, and there looked like a small, glowing pinkish red object on the seat. I moved my hand towards it, and my hand felt warmer. When my hand touched the swing however, all of the heat went away, as well as the glow.’ ‘I assumed they wanted me to come into the yard for some reason.’ ‘I believe it is a fairy experience based on the warmth I felt as my hand moved towards the glowing.’ ‘Small, magical creatures that usually want you to do something for them.’
