‘I opened a large wardrobe in my sister’s room and inside was another world. There was a green field, tall green plants and colourful creatures that didn’t seem surprised to see me.’ ‘I saw mostly animals but they were not like our animals, about the size of a rabbit but purple and blue. There was one ‘man’ climbing on one tall green plant.’ ‘Faint music like a bell orchestra and nature sounds.’ ‘I’m not sure if it was a ‘fairy’ experience. It might be, it was odd and of course no one has ever believed me. I’ll let you decide if you want to keep it in the list.’ ‘[Fairies are] natural creatures, perhaps more advanced than humans.’ ‘I have no idea if this is related, but I am forty years old and still appear to be in my early twenties. I also have the agility and energy of a younger person. Good genes, a result of my encounter, or something else, I don’t know. There is also a bit of strangeness about my conception, I have often wondered if my parents are entirely my parents.’
