‘I was sitting on train, looking out at the narrow platform over to the trees and bushes just on the other side of the platform, and sensed movement, in the bushes and knew it was fairies or elementals of some kind. I mentally called out ‘hello’ to them and at least fifty of them came out of the bushes, some quizzical, some shy, but most of them so excited that I could see them! They were small and light, slender creatures, about twenty centimeters tall? All chattering excitedly and waving to me through the window. Most of them were right next to the train window (I was in the downstairs of the carriage, looking straight out at platform height). There was nobody on the platform (humans that is). I didn’t speak out loud, but I was grinning, because there was such a feeling of excitement and love. They quickly retreated back to the bushes. As the train began to move, all waving, I could hear their chorus of ‘goodbye’ in my mind, their sweet high pitched calls ringing in my head. I felt enormous gratitude for this experience and have had other experiences too.’ ‘Light slim ethereal creatures, their bodies were almost transparent yet I could see them clearly, their wings were beautiful, like gossamer, almost translucent. More ethereal than physical, but whether I saw them with my mind’s eye or my physical eyes I do not really know. It felt very real to me.’ ‘High pitched little voices, almost a squeaky sound.’ ‘Just know they were fairies. I’ve seen angels too and know the difference between all of these ‘unseen’ entities.’ ‘[Fairies are] nature spirits, they help the plants, trees and animals.’ ‘This was a lovely and joyful experience for me, I have probably only told one or two people about it ever. I’ve had other experiences too (in several countries) but chose this one because it was definitely fairies that I saw on that occasion.’
