§267

‘Some friends came from the city for the weekend and the lady brought with her a pattern and fabric so I could help make [a] dress for a party. One of the items was a long zipper and when it came time to put the zipper in, it had gone missing. She drove into a nearby town and bought another and the dress was finished. A couple days after they had gone I was in my parlor and I looked up from what I was doing to see a wee man about eighteen inches high. He had a brown skin and a very old looking face. His hair was black and tousled like the hair on a baby. His eyes reminded me of apple seeds. And in his hand was the missing zipper. ‘HEY’ I called out and in that instant, he was gone and the zipper was lying stretched flat on the floor in the doorway. I had seen these things as dark blue shadows running along the wall. My toddler daughter played with them and called them ‘the Blue Bamboozies’. I saw the little fellow clearly one other time while she was playing with him. I have had many fairie sightings over the years (seventy three) of my life.’ ‘Brown skin, black hair, black eyes. Knee length pants barefoot and a tunic like shirt of a cream color. My outcry was a scold since he had made us look for the zipper and cost my friend money to replace it. While in that house we had many experiences sharing the house with them. I later learned that three artesian rivers joined under that house. ‘It sounded like organ music. Like long chords being played. However if I was singing, sometimes I would hear a voice singing with me.’ ‘The creature I saw was definitely a creature of the Earth.’ ‘[Fairies are] intelligent energy beings.’ ‘I had a ‘fairy friend’ as a child. As a musician I have run across tunes allegedly taken from the fairies. I began collecting them and now have at least thirty. The fairies seem to be very fond of music.’
