‘I was walking along a well-used path through woodland with a friend near *** in Scotland. It was winter. Bright sunshine but very cold. We both heard a noise – a high pitched squeak – and looked around to see where it came from. There were some large stones – the path was an old railway line, disused for many years and turned into a woodland walk. A being jumped out from behind one of the stones as if we had startled it then ran off. I know my friend heard the noise as he looked round at the same time as me, but he denied seeing anything. What I saw was a small being about two feet tall. The being appeared male, dressed in plain black clothes and shoes, and was wearing a tall black hat. It had a large, pointed nose and white skin with black eyes – it looked straight at me and appeared annoyed that it had been disturbed. Dressed all in black with very white skin.’ ‘It felt like it was’, a fairy. Fairies are ‘entities from another dimension’.
