‘It began by hearing noises in the woods across the street from our home at night for weeks. It was enough noise to spook the dogs (twigs snapping, throwing pebbles, leaves moving), but we weren’t seeing anything even with a flashlight. Zoom forward to two weeks ago. We were on our front lawn at night, and we saw a small orb of orange light moving around in the forest, leaving a trail. It then hovered in one spot, maybe two hundred feet from us, for hours. The next two nights were similar. Then, night four, I saw several of these orbs, now bluish white, appear from a tree, then they flew, lit up, about one-hundred-and-fifty feet, and stopped directly in front of my house. They hovered there, growing bright and dim on and off for hours. The next night and every night following, they have been there in abundance. Hovering, fading in and out, moving around quickly. They won’t be there when we first go out, but if we wait three or four minutes, they all start to show up. They won’t show up on camera, however, nor will they cross the street most of the time. And yes, we have confirmed that they are not lightning bugs.’ ‘Orangey orbs, whitish blue orbs, yellowish orb from a distance… A closer one appeared to be about three- to four-inches tall, fluttering goldish wings within a bluish orb.’ ‘Jovial, playful, joyous music. Can hear it at random in clips during the day and night. Comes through VERY clearly on spirit boxes.’ ‘At first, we did think that it was ghosts or aliens, even strange bugs… Then we saw one up close. We also noticed patterns… For example, only showing up if we stand and watch for a bit. I mean hey, we could be wrong, but I went from not even remotely believing in fairies to being a hardcore believer within a week. On that note, I am sensitive and have seen other entities – this is just different. I can feel that they’re fairies. Maybe I sound crazy, but it’s such a strong feeling.’ What are fairies? ‘Varying small, winged entities perhaps able to travel in and out of their dimension and ours, or that perhaps always live in ours, but choose when to be seen.’ ‘I’d like to know if there are groups that study these phenomena. I’d love to share with others that are also able to see but know that the fae will be safe whilst doing so.’
