§971

‘My fiancé and I went to bed at around eleven pm. During the night I was woken up because someone was pulling at my bedsheet repeatedly. I thought it was my fiancé. I opened my eyes and for a short moment, I actually saw my fiancé’s face just in front of me, but something seemed very odd about his expression. Just when I asked myself, why his face seems so wrong, his face actually changed into a strange being. Its face was covered with dark hair, but part of the hair seemed darker, like a short beard. The whole being also grew much shorter in size, the body though was not clearly visible. It had a huge grin. I felt frozen with fear and did not dare to move, (I also was not physically able to close my eyes, I just had to look and felt, as if I did not blink once). But at the same time, I had the feeling, that the being was rather mischievous and strangely amused about my puzzlement. Still, I had the feeling, that it might do something ‘wicked’ if I would react somehow ‘wrong’. The face was about twenty centimetres distant from my own face and seemed to protrude out of the wall, at which my bed is placed to the right side. Then the being slowly vanished, it seemed to fade. Even though the being, its hair, was dark, maybe a dark brown, therefore not in the least colourful, it seemed, as if its colours were fading. Also, even though the room was rather darkish, I saw it very clearly – far too clearly in its expression, in front of me. After it had already vanished, I still felt frozen with fear and did not dare to move. Only when I realised my fiancé was beside me in the bed did I feel able to move again. I turned around to him (he was asleep), away from the wall which I was facing before and saw the alarm clock, it was just some minutes past one AM.’ ‘In its final shape it was smallish (infant-size) and covered with hair, but its face seemed very ‘human’ despite all the hair. Some of the hair in its face seemed darker, almost like a short beard. ‘I heard no sound at all, actually it was far to silent, as I live in the city, close to the centre and even during nights it’s not completely silent outside. But there was no sound at all, neither did I hear my fiancé sleeping beside me.’ ‘It’s a very ordinary flat in a building from the 1950s.’ ‘I had a ghost experience twice, when close people had just passed away and the quality of those experiences seemed very different, with a very different temperature and texture altogether. The thought of aliens never crossed my mind, to be honest and angels… Well, I guess, I would not picture those beings quite that hairy and mischievous!’ Fairies are ‘maybe something between heaven and earth, somehow between angels and man’.
