‘My friend had sent me a picture of herself hoping I could connect with one of several spirits she had been seeing in her home. While I was trying to connect I was taken aback by seeing a fairy. Not a human spirit. She had specific messages for my friend. She corrected me when I referred to her as a fairy. She was in fact to be referred as ‘one of the little people.’ I had never heard of the little people except for humans who have dwarfism. I told my best friend everything. I thought my friend would think I was crazy and was sure I would never hear from her again. The next evening she sent me a message saying that she saw her curtains being messed with so she looked over and the bottom corner was turned up. The little person had told me to tell my friend the day before that she and her friends enjoy causing a little mischief and enjoyed playing tricks on my friend. After that I started getting small tea cups and saucers as gifts left on the floor where I step to get out of bed. I have kept one set for myself and pass the others on to children I meet.’ ‘[A fairy] because the fairy corrected me as to what she was.’
