‘I was sleeping in bed next to my sister when all the sudden I was awoken. Flying above me was a little fairy girl in a green dress with brown hair. I remember feeling like I couldn’t move or speak but I also was in such awe that I didn’t even try to wake up my sister. The girl was smiling at me, and I felt peaceful and happy, I was definitely not afraid of her. After what felt like a minute or two, she either disappeared or I fell back to sleep, I can’t remember that part but I do remember consciously thinking: ‘What the hell, is happening. This isn’t a dream.’’ Fairies are ‘mystical creatures – just like another species like human or animal.’
