‘I was driving on a country road, it was very dark and it was a heavily wooded area. Suddenly something flew in front of the car, in the beam of the headlights and up over the hood of the car. It was about four inches in length and was very clearly NOT a moth, or bird or bat or any other creature that would be flying. It appeared to have legs and hair and my friend and I both said at the same time ‘Did YOU SEE THAT? A FAIRY!’ and it just flew off. It appeared to be reddish or rust in color.’ ‘The fairy was about five-inches long and had wings about three inches wide, with long hair and clearly visible legs, arms. It was reddish or rust in color.’ ‘I have had ghost experiences. This was clearly not one of them. It was unique.’ ‘I don’t know what to think of them. Still learning.’
