‘My husband was driving us through *** State Park, it was a weekday afternoon (on our honeymoon) and we were the only people on the road, driving through thick forest. There was an electrical-type box (not really sure if that is what it was for, but it was a metal box on a concrete platform, painted green in order to blend in better with the setting) on the side of the road. The box was only about two or three feet tall. I had my eyes fixed on the box and I saw a small creature peek out at our car from behind the box. As we passed it and I whipped my head around to look at it from the other side of the box, there was nothing there. My husband asked me what I saw, and I said I didn’t know, but it vanished. I swore to him that I saw what I saw. Right after I told him about it, he said he had a similar experience earlier in the day while we were eating lunch at a picnic table in the same forest. He saw something he didn’t recognize peek out from behind a tree at him. We were the only people in the picnic area. I had my back to it so I didn’t see what he saw. He at first thought it was a squirrel but quickly realized it wasn’t. If I were to describe what I saw, it was a white head with either large black eyes or black circles around where eyes would be. I don’t know if what we saw were fairies, but those are mystical woods, for sure. I have been obsessed with our encounter in the forest ever since. This happened mid-June this year, 2020.’ ‘A white hazy being with black-ish eyes.’ Fairies are ‘elemental or nature spirits’.
