‘I was walking with my friend on a path in *** Gardens. I saw a small person/elf in a green elf outfit with a pointy hat walking along the trees on the hillside. Perhaps it was someone dressed as an elf, or perhaps a real elf? He appeared quite small. I asked my friend if she had seen him, and she said ‘yes’.’ ‘Seems unlikely that [fairies] exist.’
