A survey of modern fairy experiences by Dr Simon Young

§889

Washington State, US 2010s
Female: Age 21-30 regular supernatural experiences
inside a private house 9 pm-12 am less than a minute on my own
you were undertaking a repetitive task (e.g. picking blackberries), you had just woken up or were just about to go to sleep, ‘doing some sort of ritual/divination reading’
friendly, aloof, mournful, ‘saying goodbye’
profound silence before the experience, hair prickling or tingling before or during the experience, unusually vivid memories of the experience, a sense that the experience marked a turning point in your life

‘I was moving out of my parent’s house where I had lived my entire life. I was sitting in my bedroom on my laptop and I suddenly turned my head to the right and there was this being. It looked like Dobby mixed with a root vegetable with big black beadie eyes. He looked back at me and put his head down and disappeared into my duvet. A moment later I saw him on the floor running into my closet.’ ‘Head looked like a potato, long spindly limbs, almost green, long nose, long ears, black beadie eyes, approximately a foot tall.’ ‘I have experienced Fae folk on the property before, just not like that.’ ‘I had done a spell for the troop on the property to come with me on my journey, however I think that this being was a house spirit coming to say goodbye.’ Fairies are ‘otherworldly beings that share our world but in the next dimension’.
