Female: Age 0-10 occasional supernatural experiences
in open land (fields etc) 3 pm-6 pm less than a minute on my own [‘I was out walking with my little dog’]

friendly
a sense that the experience was a display put on specially for you

‘I looked up and saw a bright ball of light. It moved like a little bird flying and the bright white ball just faded away as it moved away.’ ‘A bright white ball of light (brighter than the brightest star in the sky).’ ‘In the past few months, I have seen flashes of white light at night in my garden, while out walking the dog and one night when we had a powercut I saw three flashes of light in my bedroom, my husband even saw one of them. I’m not totally sure they are fairies, but I feel they are.’ Fairies are ‘little souls that live in the countryside and they look after the wildlife and countryside’. ‘When I was five years old I had a bad time where I was bullied by my teacher at school and during this time I was visited nearly every night by a little person who lived in the pond at the back of my house. I remember telling my friend about her and to this day I still remember her name.’
