§713

‘Friends were celebrating their engagement at *** Castle, which is a DIY castle made by one guy over many years. Impressive and weird. I was camping behind the castle along with other guests. My boyfriend and I were walking along the path from the castle to the campground, slowly and leisurely. The path bordered a wooded area. It was all so pretty, with the pine forest and the blue sky. I said aloud, ‘If fairies exist, this is where they’d live’ and my boyfriend agreed. Suddenly we saw movement rushing toward us. It seemed to be obscured by a kind of invisibility shield, sort of like in the movie The Predator in which the alien has a cloaking device that makes it invisible but it’s still a little blurry so you can detect the being once it moves. So we saw this kind of effect over a small creature, maybe two feet tall. We couldn’t make out any features, only the general shape and height. It was rushing at us very fast from about thirty feet inside the wooded area. My boyfriend and I both yelled/screamed because we were startled. As soon as we did, the movement stopped, and we no longer saw the ‘predator effect’. We stayed there for a while but couldn’t see anything after that.’ ‘A blurry invisibility cloaking device over a two-foot-tall creature.’ ‘It is often described as a ‘magical’ place. But I haven’t heard any specific fairy lore.’ Fairies are ‘ultraterrestrials’. ‘My boyfriend and I often saw this kind of cloaking effect. Sometimes we’d see it in the woods, like something was hiding near a tree. I would see it at work in my office, the size of small rodents darting around the floor. I haven’t seen it for a while now.’
