‘I [Czech/German/Norwegian national] was at a small end of tour together with a Celtic band from the US. We were all playing and singing mostly original songs. This little old man walked into this private party, apparently drunk, and stood next to me. He knew and sang EVERY song that we were singing, having no knowledge of the small ren-fest band or songs. He kept looking over at me mischievously. I felt in my heart like it was the king of the fairies, come to party with is.’ ‘Like a little old drunk man.’ ‘It was traditional Celtic music. He had a good singing voice.’ ‘It was a hotel in Galway, Ireland.’ Why do you think your experience was a fairy experience, as opposed to a ghost or an alien or an angel or some other type of anomalous experience? ‘Because he knew every word of every original song, and nobody had ever seen him before.’ It was an unannounced private party. How would he have known?’ Fairies are ‘beings from another dimension’.
