‘When I was about eleven or twelve maybe, I was sitting on my bed in my bedroom facing the doorway to my room, which was open, when this little creature ran by my door. It was maybe eight to ten inches tall and was completely silent. It basically had like a stick figure body, with a head that looked like a dandelion puff. It ran gracefully, like a ballerina might run. I got up and tried to follow it, it had gone into my dad’s office which was right by my door, but I couldn’t find anything. Years later I was telling my sister about what I saw and was surprised when she told me she had seen that same creature, also, in our house and also running in the same graceful way. And just a few months ago I was on Facebook in a group and told the story of what I had seen, and another lady replied that she had also seen the same creature! Only she saw it out hiking in Oregon. She looked down and saw it, when it realized she saw it, it hurriedly ran away gracefully as well! I never quite knew what to call this creature until I learned that the word ‘fairy’ referred to a variety of creatures that are otherworldly. And this creature was definitely not of this world. From the angle it was running it has to have come right out of a wall. I thought maybe it was an inter dimensional being of some sort. Possibly from the world of Fairies.’ ‘Why a fairy?’ Because it was small and so graceful looking.’ What are fairies? ‘Creatures which come from the fairy realm.’
