‘I was just a small girl of about six or seven, I was waking up in my bedroom, I remember the light quite well, it was early dawn and some sun was coming in through my window, at the end of my bed and to the right there was an orb, but almost like a sparkle. I would say it was white and yellow. I knew it was a fairy. The being seemed vibrant and lively, it was only there for a second or two. I believe I told my mom about the experience but did not get much in response and so it’s not something I’ve talked about much.’ ‘A sparkle, orb.’ Why a fairy? ‘It was just something I felt, I knew then as a child that it was a fairy, at that time I would not say I was particularly interested in fairies nor thought about them.’ Fairies are ‘beings that live here but on another plane.’
