‘A telepathic friend had a dream about the Brownies of Edinburgh wanting to meet me, near a ruin on a hill. I found out where this was from the description and went with my partner to walk up this hill. I was told not to take my phone or put it in flight mode as it pollutes the other realm. I am an experienced hill walker and always, always know exactly where the summit of any given hill is. Being a geek this is important to me, so I check hill-bagging.co.uk to be sure of this info. As we approached the summit of this smaller hill, the next thing I knew, we were suddenly facing in the other direction looking at the main summit of the larger hill nearby, not the summit of the hill we were walking towards and very close to. I stood very disorientated, confused and checked the time. Only a few minutes had gone by. I know I had not summited the first hill, as I had no recollection of standing triumphantly at the top as I always do. I have since learned from my friend, who sadly passed away several years ago, that we were glamoured by the little people, which I believe to be one hundred percent true based on events that happened to me in childhood, the few months before and since this missing time event.’ What are fairies? ‘Another group of many different types of beings, original inhabitants of planet earth.’
