‘I was in a field not far from my grandma’s house. Visiting for the day. Saw several lights in and about a hedge. I walked up to the hedge and the lights started to fade, I also thought I could hear tinkling sounds. My Gran told me, she always could hear them.’ ‘Not sure if fairy, but definitely something wanted to attract me to them/it.’ ‘[Fairies are] nature elementals’. ‘I hate the thought of areas of natural beauty being destroyed. We are killing off all that nature wants to teach us.’
