‘I was taking a break from yard work and drinking water when I noticed something standing on the side of the driveway. It was black about one foot tall, a slender muscular body with wings on its back (they were folded), the arms looked just a little too long and the fingers came to sharp points, its head had a sharp pointed chin with two horns on top. The legs were shaped like a dog’s hind legs. The feet with the exception of the toes were normal human like. It also had a tail about eight-inches long. It looked at me for a few seconds, jumped down from the railroad tie it was standing on, slowly strolled across the driveway, looking at me occasionally. Upon reaching the other side it jumped up on the railway tie, with a wing flap (the wings were bat like). Once on the tie it looked at me again like it was considering something. Then it jumped down and went under the railway tie. I moved the tie but nothing was there.’ ‘Black shiny skin with wings and a tail about one foot tall.’ ‘No music but I could hear it step on the stones as it walk. I sounded much heavier the it looked.’ ‘This was only the first encounter with them. other run ins came later.’ ‘[Fairies are] elemental forces of nature.’
