‘I was walking through the woodland of upstate New York (right next to Canada). I was fourteen years of age. And as I was walking, I felt the presence [?] to keep walking further in a specific direction until I reached two trees wilted over one another the shape of a doorway. I stared at it for a good minute because the urge to walk through it became amplified. But I heard a small giggle and saw the small silhouette of a women at the bottom of the tree as if she was hiding from me. Needless to say, I turned around and ran as fast as I could.’ ‘It sounded like children laughing’, ‘small covered in rags’. ‘I didn’t feel sad or ominous like you would with a ghost or alien.’ Fairies are ‘small mythical creatures with elemental powers’.
