A survey of modern fairy experiences by Dr Simon Young

§490

New Zealand 2010s
Female: Age 41-50 occasional supernatural experiences
in a garden 6 am-9 am one to two minutes on my own
you had just woken up or were just about to go to sleep
no fairy mood reported
profound silence before the experience, hair prickling or tingling before or during the experience

‘I was lying in bed looking at the sun rising from my bedroom window. When I saw a flash of red light darting amongst the plants and flowers outside. I grabbed my phone and took a few pictures of the energy. When I checked out the photos I had a picture of a red fairy wearing a hat and might even be holding a sword. I think it looks male.’ ‘Energy and light: wearing classic clothing like a uniform.’ ‘I have had experience with ghosts before in a haunted house. I think I was just lucky to have taken the photo. I wouldn’t have even known it was a fairy unless I had taken the photo and enlarged the image. I just saw unusual light and movement.’ ‘[Fairies are] energies from another dimension.’ ‘I believe that there is so much more out there than our current minds can see and understand. I see auras but most people don’t. But they are still there even though most can’t see them.’
