‘I’ve always been connected with nature and have had many experiences. It was probably late fall when it first happened. I’m always the first person awake in the morning, and I usually feel energized but, when I woke up, I felt weak and felt something on my face. It was a really intense force, like some sort of energy, but every time I moved or pulled the blanket over my face the feeling disappeared. When I moved, I could almost hear tiny voices, but they didn’t sound English. I could almost feel something on my legs even though I was covered with the blanket. I also saw light orbs twinkling close to the wall and on the ceiling, but it was a cloudy morning, and it was sort of dark like a grey color. I tried to wake up my siblings because maybe they would understand but they thought I was crazy and said it might have been a ghost or something. Even today I think I’m crazy, but I swear that wasn’t a ghost. Ever since kindergarten I’ve been having some experiences and I’ve also been researching faeries waiting for answers. I realized that could’ve been pixies or some kind of faerie that was probably curious about me, since it was the first encounter. I probably wasn’t used to faeries. If it was faeries, I don’t know what they wanted from me.’ ‘A bright light orb’. ‘I heard a low vibration’. Why fairies ‘because I’ve always been connected with earth. It doesn’t matter how old I get. I always [feel] like I belong in the forest.’ Fairies are ‘beings of the earth that are centuries old and possess magic/abilities connected with the elements and each type of faery have different personalities that represent for who they are.’
