‘I went out to my back deck and noticed a glowing red light in my garden (the light would get brighter, then dim, then get brighter again). The light was next to a large cedar hedge that was next to the road, and I was concerned someone had thrown their lit cigarette into the hedge: in retrospect, I don’t know how a cigarette could have made it through the thick hedge into our yard, or why it would glow red. I approached the light to put it out and as I got close it stopped. I waited a bit and looked around but didn’t see anything. When I returned to my deck and looked back, the light had started again. Since I don’t know of any insects that glow red, or anything else it could have been, I believe it was a fairy.’ ‘I saw only a glowing red light.’ ‘While I do believe in fairies, spirits, gods, and magic, I also believe in science. I have a good imagination but I’m not prone to flights of fancy. If there’s a logical explanation, I will accept it. But I also know there are things science doesn’t understand. I know humans will rationalize away things they’ve seen/experienced so they don’t seem ‘crazy’. There’s more to this world/universe than we know or can explain.’ ‘Not sure I believe in ghosts. I don’t think aliens have visited earth. Angels are just christianized fairies/spirits, as far as I’m concerned. I don’t know what else could have glowed red (with the glow getting brighter and dimmer), then stopping as I got close, then starting again as I moved away. I’m open to other explanations but I believe it was a fairy.’ Fairies are ‘supernatural beings that mostly occupy another plane/realm but occasionally cross over into our world when it suits them.’
