‘I’ve always had paranormal type experiences but my first one I think that could be a fairy experience is when I was about sixteen. It was dark and possibly quite late. I don’t remember. I was reading a book with a bedside table light on and something caught my attention and I looked over at my window and I saw a yellow orb like light and I thought to myself well that’s just the reflection from my lamp. So I looked at my book again and looked over to the orb and it was gone. I may have looked at it a couple of times before it disappeared and realized, holy crap, it wasn’t the lamp’s reflection. I’ve also recently had a dream about a fairy that could turn into a mist or smoke like material. What made me think more on this dream is that I looked on the internet and saw almost the same thing as in my dream and I hate to say this, but it honestly looked like the angry green fairy from the absinthe fairy depiction. So that really caught my attention seeing as how I’ve literally never seen the absinthe fairy anywhere and I don’t take drugs. Ok, have a great day, lol.’ ‘One gold and one green.’ ‘I’ve always believed in weird things but never gave fairies much thought to be honest.’ ‘I’ve had tons of experiences with different supernatural type things and have been with others and also have taken pictures.’ Fairies? ‘I’m not sure. I do believe in a spirit type realm.’ ‘I have extremely vivid dreams. I have had premonition type dreams, but I don’t buy into that type of stuff and find it like funny. I think I have seen angels maybe and djinn maybe and I’ve even came face-to-face with a pack of wolves when I was nine years old. I don’t know what any of it means. I’ve seen orbs and UFO type things and I’ve been with other people during a lot of experiences, or I’d think I’m totally nuts, lol.’
