Texas, US 2000s
Female: Age 0-10 occasional supernatural experiences
in a city (in my front yard) 12 pm-3 pm less than a minute with several other people, none of whom shared my experience
no special state reported
no fairy mood reported
profound silence before the experience, a sense that the experience was a display put on specially for you, unusually vivid memories of the experience

‘I was in my front yard with my parents (who were on the other side of the yard) on a sunny day when I heard wings flapping. I looked to my left and up in the air when I saw three tall, slender figures with wings go up in the air. The one in the middle was the one I saw first, as the one entered my vision on the right and the other my left to join with the one in the middle.’ ‘Tall and slender. I think they were wearing earthy-toned colors.’ Why fairies? ‘Because my belief in them were very strong at the time and I think I was wanting to see them for real.’ ‘I have seen fairies at least two other times since this incident, both before I was a pre-teen/teen. I haven’t seen them since (though I haven’t had any paranormal incidents or experiences lately either).’ ‘I think that [fairies] are real and vary from region to region. I think we do not see them often for a reason, but they are here.’
