‘It was in the year 1998 when I was at work with my colleague who is now my life partner. We hadn’t known each other very well then, and one day after he left his desk for a minute or two, I saw someone sitting there in his chair, looking at me. A little man, but not human, about one meter in height. And I just stood there and looked at him and after a few seconds he vanished into thin air. When my colleague returned and sat down in this very chair, I told him what I had experienced a moment before, and he answered that he had been on vacation in Ireland recently. Unfortunately, I can’t remember exactly what this fairy looked like or what clothes he wore but I would say he resembled a leprechaun. I have been thankful ever since that he let me take a look at him before he faded away and I won’t forget the intensity of this moment as long as I live.’ ‘He resembled most closely a leprechaun. I looked for pictures of fairies after my experience and a leprechaun resembled him the most. It could be he also wore a hat, but I can’t remember exactly.’ Why a fairy? ‘Because the appearance of him fitted absolutely with the pictures of a leprechaun. The interesting point is I did my research… after this encounter and hadn’t heard or read about leprechauns before it. Of course, I can’t totally rule out that I had not seen a picture of a fairy like him before it took place. But I read about fairies after this because I wanted to get information about it.’ ‘I am pretty sure I can rule out hallucination because this encounter excited me very much. So why not hallucinate more of them? But this didn’t happen again. Fairies are ‘maybe other life forms that exist next to us. And when we are lucky and dwell in the right ‘frequency’, we are allowed to take a glimpse into a co-existing reality.’
