‘I was in bed, the clock chimed midnight and woke me up. I was twelve years old. My bed faced the bedroom door which was open, there was a wardrobe straight ahead against the wall, the bathroom door was on the right, the exit to the hall way was left. A floor lamp was on, to the left, the light was subdued but lit. I was thinking about school staring straight ahead, I heard a loud metallic ping like a triangle being struck. A ball of light appeared from the bathroom door and started to move horizontal and evenly. Inside was a female form, with long hair with beautiful wings, the colour was ivory/white and effervescent. She was not solid she was made of tiny tiny stars you could see through her. I pinched myself because I thought I was dreaming, she was still there, I made a wish not to be bullied anymore at school then felt guilty and wished for world peace. She turned towards me and looked directly at me. I was scared and said I don’t believe in fairies and the ball of light popped like a bubble and she disappeared. I do hope I didn’t hurt her.’ ‘She was naked, with long hair and beautiful wings. white/pearl/ivory colour. Made up completely of tiny tiny stars, which were effervescent. She was not solid you could see through her and her eyes were silver grey, a very pretty face and pointed ears. The wings had butterfly markings on them.’ ‘A metallic ping like a triangle being struck.’ ‘[Fairies] are mischievous and from another dimension they look after nature. ‘Have seen fairies via meditations with trees (they were not as beautiful). But this was the only time I saw one physically in front of me. She was beautiful and made of tiny moving stars.’
