Iowa, US 2010s
Female: Age 0-10 regular supernatural experiences
in woodland 12 am-3 am two to ten minutes with one other person who shared my experience
no special state given
friendly, aloof
a sense that the experience was a display put on specially for you, a sense that the experience marked a turning point in your life, a sudden chill before the experience

‘I was walking with my friend when I was nine. We saw a tree light up! It lasted about eleven minutes, then stopped. I heard a soft, creepy song in the distance. We watched dancing and flying fairies. There were thousands.’ ‘My friend got dizzy halfway through.’ ‘I had a flashlight.’ ‘[Fairies] exist, only the believers see them.’ ‘Some had that signature fairy look.’
