‘Around 8 pm on a June night about twelve or so years ago, a light appeared on or from within a half dead pecan tree. It swirled around the trunk from ground level to about twenty five feet or so high. At its highest point the light appeared to come from within the tree and paused in the shape of a door with a rounded top/flat bottom. It then swirled around the trunk again losing brightness until it faded. This was all about thirty feet from me/my front porch. Weather was mid eighties, small city, houses about ten feet apart. Traffic was going by but not hindering or promoting the light in anyway. Two others were viewing the phenomenon.’ ‘I am not sure it was [a fairy]. It was the ‘door’ aspect that made me feel this. My husband (who is a sceptic of all paranormal) had seen ‘something’ a few times in the neighborhood. But I didn’t want to post a report on second-hand accounts. Let me just say he saw a few months before this incident three small creatures (about twelve-inches tall) run on two legs from one street drain to the next on the street around the corner from our house. They were dark in shape and could have been rats on two legs. The incident reported here, the tree is also over a drain.’
