‘I was swimming in the shallow end of the pool at my grandparents’ house. I went under water and saw a four-six [inch] figure running across the bottom. I went up for air and to see if anybody was close enough to see it. It was gone when I went back down a second later.’ ‘Sort of like a classic leprechaun.’ ‘Hand size or smaller.’ ‘I just always assumed it was a leprechaun, but it is just as possible that it was a fairy.’ ‘I definitely think I saw something that day, as well as other times in my life where I may have encountered ‘paranormal’ events. However, I don’t blindly believe every and all stories I hear… I believe that there is more going on than we can perceive, whether it be other dimensions/planes of existence.’
