‘I was in Mum’s sewing room when I looked up and by the closed door near the ceiling was a creature about six foot tall, all in floaty green hovering. I could see the wings and the body which looked human. It then disappeared.’ ‘All pale green, with gossamer like clothing, the whole thing was pale green.’ ‘[A fairy] because it was solid, real, and looked like a fairy as seen in my books (I was ten).’ ‘I have experienced strange happenings, things being moved, a large shell dropping into the bath on more than one occasion, once when I was in the room and it just missed the cat who was asleep in the bath.’ ‘[Fairies] are beings that don’t need to be seen.’
