‘When I was a little child, I was playing in the garden, when I saw this little tiny thing. I thought it was a butterfly, but it was white, with jagged wings. I took it and I pinched it, I think I killed it, and it disappeared in a white dust.’ ‘Like a white butterfly.’ ‘I have seen ghosts in my life and I just don’t believe in aliens.’ ‘[What are fairies?] Little creatures butterfly-like.’
