‘My children were upstairs playing, while going through my home cleaning I walked past my sliding glass door I saw someone swinging on their swing set. My backyard has a locked six-foot wood privacy fence. I saw him clear as day as I walked past and when I stopped and took a step back to look again, he was gone.’ ‘Under three foot tall I’d say, with a hat. Male, boots, beard.’ Why a fairy experience? ‘I would say perhaps due to my childhood exposure of Grimms’ Fairytales.’
