‘My then husband and I were walking back from the side of Loch Lomond at *** back to the centre of ***. It was about three in the afternoon in the summer, and it was a lovely sunny day. The path back is quite broad and lined with high trees on either side. As we were walking along both my husband and I suddenly saw a black figure with wings fly from a tree across the path to a tree on the other side. It looked like a black silhouette against the sky, but it was not a bird or a bat as it was completely human shaped. I just looked at my husband and said, ‘did you see that?’, and he agreed with me that it was a faery. I don’t know who got more of a fright, us or it when it realised that we had seen it. From the distance that we were away I guess it would have been about two feet in height.’ ‘I have had several encounters with the fae and have fae friends. I don’t see them, but I can speak with them.’ ‘Human black silhouette with wings.’
