‘It was between eight and ten pm close to the summer solstice date. I was listening to a podcast in my bedroom while I was folding laundry. My children were sleeping. I had a large salt lamp and my bathroom lights on. There was plenty of light. My bedroom door was open, and my husband was across the hall on the computer. A shadow that had the frame of a five-year-old child started to appear in my room. My room is small. The shadow was next to my patio door and in front of my bathroom door where the light was on. The shadow was spinning and blinking in and out of sight every time I would turn to look at it head on. I honestly thought I was just tired and tried to forget about it. But it caused a feeling of anxiety. It was an anxious energy. That same night my husband was sleeping in the office because all of the children were in bed with me (three young ones). He came into the room and told me he was scared because he thought our four-year-old had been running and jumping through the office while we were sleeping. That’s when I knew I was not just seeing things. We don’t have a ghost in our house. We have been here for many years. I had a series of instances after this. It stopped around the end of July of two thousand and twenty-two.’ ‘On a nightly basis following this event I would wake up between 11 pm and 3 am and I would see something floating in the air between my bedroom door and my bed that looked like how ink would behave in water. It also looked like lichen. It was black and it looked like it was almost hanging like a net. It was never completely solid. Occasionally I would see small ball shaped forms with eyes and mouths that were almost like watercolors. I felt like I was being observed. It happened every night until around the end of July two thousand and twenty-two, beginning immediately after the first incident. I started to dread going to sleep because of these events. My three young children were also sleeping in bed with me. Twin one year old boys and a boy who will be four in November. He’s big for his age.’ ‘About a year ago a large ring of mushrooms appeared in my front yard and a perfect circle of clover appeared this year.’ Fairies are ‘spirits that belong to the earth’. Why a fairy as opposed to something else? ‘I have been trying to figure this out.’
