‘It happened when I was just getting into bed. I heard music and talking. When I listened more closely. The music and talking vanished. It was so cool it was midnight then. During the summer. I still hear the music too but different parts of the outside of my house. In a way I wanted to make friends. But it was truly magical, and I will never forget it.’ ‘Happy like a big celebration!’ ‘Moved in the house six years ago.’ ‘I’m all about fantasy. I think fairies are cool [and I] could learn something. Also, I love unicorns.’
