‘At an old cellar of a long-gone cabin, I became aware of the presence of many spirits, some living in the area and some passing through in their travels. I did not converse with or see them, but their presence was quite clearly felt. I later asked others what their impressions of the area were, and the answers confirmed my feelings.’ ‘I am aware of the presence of fairies and other sprites when I am near nature. It does not have to be wild nature; a stand of trees or wildflowers will do.’ ‘I don’t know about aliens, but ghosts, angels, fairies, and a variety of other sprites are very different from one another.’ What are fairies? ‘They are people, of a different sort than we are.’
