‘My three-year-old daughter and I were out in my front yard while I was doing some gardening. I have a lot of trees and flower beds. I looked over at my daughter and she was sitting in a shaft of bright sunlight giggling and putting her hands up. I noticed small creatures (three of them) no bigger than dandelion fluff and looking like dandelion fluff ‘playing’ with her, lightly touching her face and arms, or landing on her head before flying away. They were quite bright even in the sun, like little lights. I realized that they seemed to be luring her to my side/backyard as they would fly towards her and then away and then back again. I felt uneasy so I brought her inside. Later that afternoon I was at my kitchen sink looking out towards the woods (my backyard is wooded and there is a lot of undergrowth) and I saw a strange creature. It was black and cat shaped but had long ears like a rabbit. It was sitting under a bush looking at the house.’ ‘Like dandelion fluff only humanoid.’ ‘Very light bells like glass bells tinkling.’ ‘It was tiny. And I just felt it [was a fairy].’ What are fairies? ‘I’m not sure.’
