‘One day, while alone, heard someone invisible, clearing their throat near dining room table within house. I went to investigate and saw nobody until I blocked sunlight from outside sliding glass door and table. Person/being materialized and looked like a short man, bearded with outdated, floppy clothes and topped with equally floppy hat! He was grinning from ear to ear! He disappeared. The next day, after returning from grocery store and while putting away groceries, both myself and mother heard vocalization from same dining table area. It scared us both! Especially my mother! It sounded like hooting from an owl. I went over to previous area but saw nothing. Mother, frightened, said she never wanted to hear that sound again!’ ‘Description fits fairy folklore and mischievous nature of being’s actions/appearance.’ Fairies are ‘one of many different types of elemental beings.’ ‘Poltergeist activity aimed at physically harming me! Felt like spiritual warfare until recently.’
