A survey of modern fairy experiences by Dr Simon Young

§511

Cornwall, England 2010s
Female: Age 41-50 regular supernatural experiences
on or near water 6 pm-9 pm less than a minute with one other person who shared my experience
you were undertaking a repetitive task (e.g. picking blackberries), you were extremely happy
friendly, joyful
a sense that the experience was a display put on specially for you, unusually vivid memories of the experience, a sudden chill before the experience

‘We [Mexican and Belgian nationals] saw golden yellow orbs in Tintagel.’ ‘Golden light orbs.’ ‘Little bells or chimes and laughter.’ ‘Another woman shared the experience.’ Why fairies? ‘Laughing, golden orbs, chimes, playfulness.’ What are fairies? ‘Light beings connected to nature.’
