‘I was in my backyard gardening, when a saw a strange fungus in the grass. I went inside to get my camera to take a picture of it. When I was taking the picture I felt watched if like I was been pranked. Later I saw a green creature in the photograph.’ ‘Green bald low to the ground creature with a playful grin on his face.’ ‘I believe fairies are nature’s creatures not like ghosts, angels, like. They blend in to nature that’s why we cannot see them.’
