‘It was Autumn in 2016. My family was attending a reunion at the *** Center in ***, Washington. This is a yoga retreat and a place people come to commune with nature and give homage to the fairies. One night we built a wonderful fire in the pit and sat around chatting. My niece and nephew started making fun of the idea of people dancing in the fields and believing in fairies. I became very uncomfortable. My inner voice told me to admonish them, but I did not, I just listened. Then, I felt a pinch on the back of my thigh! I was afraid it was a spider, so I jumped down onto the ground and looked under the bench and there she was. She was blackish/deep green with red glowing eyes (maybe twelve inches long/tall). She was very spindly. She stared right at me, and I knew she was mad. We held the gaze for only a moment, she scurried off. I jumped up and told my niece and nephew to no longer talk trash about fairies, that they exist, and one just pinched me! They looked at me like I was crazy.
