‘I was playing in the yard when I saw a child with amazing beauty come out of the wood line and she asked if she could play with me. We played for a while, and I noticed a shimmer of what looked like wings behind her back. I asked her about it, and she told me she would see me again before running back to the woods.’ ‘Like a child at first, then a teenager.’ ‘Like a sweet sound. Very calming.’ ‘She was too real to be any of those things’ [ghosts, aliens etc]. Fairies ‘can be menacing at times, but very friendly’.
