‘I saw a parade of fairies going across my bedroom floor. They were all dressed in finery and had musical instruments and tiny animals. I tried to wake up my sister, and shook and shook her, but she would not wake up. I had another experience when I was in my forties. I was lying on my bed in the middle of the afternoon and there was a puff of green smoke on my wall and then there was an opening and a tiny green man came out. He was bigger than the first ones. This guy was quite ugly and about two-feet tall. He touched my foot and ran back into the wall, which then promptly shut.’ ‘They were dressed in flora.’ ‘I just know [that it was a fairy]. I often wonder if I have fairy blood.’
