‘My son was giggling at something in the bushes. He was about three. I called him over and he piled with us in a big hug in the sunlight. I sensed movement where he had been giggling and I looked over and saw a large insect. It was so large like a giant cricket that I stared and then I noticed it was staring at me! And it winked at me with a human type eye! And smiled. I turned to tell my husband and it was gone.’ ‘I have heard fairy laughter and tinkling of bells and singing or humming.’ ‘No [fairy reputation in the area]… But saw fairy circle.’ ‘We saw fairy rings while walking. I got a chill when I heard my son start to giggle and he wouldn’t come when I called.’ ‘[Fairies are] forest protectors. Portal protectors. Bridgers between dimensions.’ ‘It was very memorable!!!!’
