Fairy Encounters

I don't believe in fairies, but I would if I had seen what some of you have seen. If you have had a personal experience with fairies that you would like to share, send it it to me for this section. (It must be plausible for me to print it, convincing enough to convince me that you are serious.) Make the subject FAIRY ENCOUNTER.

[Please remember what Freud said about cigars. There are often mundane explanations for unusual experiences. Migraine headaches, for example, can cause a person to see flickering colored lights.]

     "I've believed in fairies for quite a while now, but not until about one month ago was I completely convinced. It was afternoon and my mother and I were in my garden looking at the flowers when a beautiful butterfly landed on one of my zinnias. Drat! The perfect photo opportunity and I didn't have my camera! (I love taking nature photos.) My mom ran inside to grab it but it took her about 5 minutes and when she returned--the butterfly was still there! It wasn't weird until the butterfly left the flower to go flutter in circles around my mom, then me. Seeing the camera, it perched itself on the the zinnia closest to me and spread its wings wide! Wow- was that just a photogenic butterfly? Somehow I don't think so. I think it was a fairy. No one has ever said that they can't take the form of a butterfly!  Tonight is the Solstice so I left out a little note and a gift for the fairies ; )  P. S.: If you wanted to include my age, I'm 12. Just so people who were wondering the age group fairies prefer and stuff.... etc. etc. etc..." - Camila

    "I have always been inloved with faeries and mermaids since i was very little. we movec into this new house in san jacinto about a year ago. my mom said she knew this priest from the philippines and they were very good friends. he said to her that if she put a lot of faerie statues in the front yard, it would attract faeries and bring wealth into the family. So my mom started to do that, at first everything was just normal. Then circles of mushrooms started appearing in the front yard and frogs as well. Our neighbors started asking why we were the only ones who had it. So i started to believe that we had faeries and i left milk for them every other night. One night my mom and little bro were in the back yard. My bro was by the pool and he doesnt like to talk about this because he was very scared, but he said he saw a little girl on the floor, and he could see her legs and arms and it looked like she had an instrument as well. It scared me at first but i wish i could have seen one. but sadly my dad mowed the lawn and the mushrooms haven't grown back. This is true so i hope you believe me ." - Crizelle

    "I have seen fairies on four occasions the last was when I was 11 year old the first encounter was when I was 5. I had just lost my first tooth and my father has bought me a book about tooth fairies. He read the book for me and in it a child was taken to  fairy land in a blanket. I held my tooth and looked up at the sky and wished I could have that too. That night I went to sleep and felt I was being lifted up and floating. A blanket was beneath me and was rippling I could feel the wind rush over my face. I wanted to open my eyes but I couldn't. I tried so hard but something was stopping them. I awoke in a thump like I had been dropped from the sky. I rushed into my parents room and exclaimed ''did you see me? I was in the fairies' blanket''. They went along with it since I was so young but that was my first encounter.
    The second took place when I was older and was at dance practice. The dance hall was in front of a large grassy field and the tap for water was out the front. I needed to wash my face so I ran out to the front where the tap was took a drink and looked up. Floating  in front of my face was a bright round light. Inside was bright white and around it was a yellow, golden hue. I saw wings, the tips, coming out from the circle of light and it was floating in mid-air. I blinked and it disappeared.
    My third encounter occured at the age of 11. We moved house and had a very old tree with a hole at the bottom. I believed this was a fairy house. One summer night I walked down the back stairs and heard a rustling coming from the tree above me. I looked and a rainbow light sped out of the tree and into the opposite hedge. Sparks flew off the light, it flew faster than a bird or anything I had ever seen before. I ran over to the hedge and could hear rustling but could not see anything. I ran inside to tell my mother and we both looked but the fairy was gone.
    My fourth encounter was meant for my mother. I glimpsed the end of this enounter. She was in the kitchen and suddenly called for me to come look. I went to the doorway and there outside in the tree was the rainbow light, purples and blues and reds changing and mixing and it was floating. It was in the shape of a diamond. It disappeared after I had seen it. I beleive the fairy came back for my mother so she would beleive me.
    After my last encounter we moved and the tree was cut down. I was very sad as I saw it as my fairy tree and it should have stayed. I hold on to those memories and sightings and will always know that what I saw was real and special." - Niomie-//
