‘I [American national] was sleeping at *** hostel. I was on my own after a weekend attending mythologist *** Myth school. Everyone else had left that morning and I stayed two more days the only other human around was the hostel owner *** who stayed in a separate building with his dogs. After a day of hiking the moors and time spent doing a powerful ancestor ceremony in the oak grove behind the hostel I finally settled in for the evening. I was in bed sleeping when I woke from a dream to see a large many-being trooping fairy group circling the room on their way through. There were at least fifty beings of all kinds strange and amazing and [in various] sizes, including a male fairy that rolled himself in what seemed like an ancient wagon wheel. He rolled it right up my spine and then they all disappeared through the walls and continued outside. I have experienced these types of trooping fairies before. Years past.’ ‘Some beautiful and larger than human size, some hideous and animal like, some small, some large, some female, some male, some unknown.’ Fairy music? ‘Haunting riotous and wild.’ ‘Unknown if that exact place has any significance but certainly ***moor has much fairy folklore.’ I felt great gratitude and honor that they showed themselves to me.’
