§641

Fife, Scotland 1970s
Female: Age 0-10 occasional supernatural experiences
inside a private house can’t remember the time two to ten minutes with several other people, none of whom shared my experience
you had just woken up or were just about to go to sleep
joyful
profound silence before the experience, a sense that the experience was a display put on specially for you

‘Dancing at the foot of the bed, still there when I hid and looked again.’ ‘A noise woke me to look.’ ‘I saw lots of small people shapes, in shadows’. [In a subsequent email] ‘I was six to seven years old, then I was made aware by my dad it was odd and discouraged. I once saw one dancing at night – scared me as I had a fear in the dark. I remember hiding under the covers and checking she was still there. She was till eventually I watched and fell asleep. She had an aura which made her visible. Daytime they were quite transparent – only clear in the shade. Not really clear in bright patches of light. They were usually in groups, except the dancing one!’
