‘I was outside playing by myself and I looked up and there were two little people, not kids, holding hands looking at me. A man and a woman and they just stood watching me and smiling at me and then they were gone.’ ‘Like little people in long smocks, kinda like priest wear.’ ‘Don’t remember any music.’ ‘Cherokee believe in little people.’ ‘[Fairies] are real.’ ‘Lots of mysteries in the Universe and many we will never understand but that does not mean they do not exist.’
