This letter appeared in our mailbox in the Spring of 2002...

In the spring of 2000 I was walking in a sheltered part of a creek surrounded by woods with my two small children and my best friend. We were in awe of our surroundings and we all felt as if we were someplace magical. As we were turning to leave we realized that we had dragonflies on all sides of us. I pointed across the creek to a large bunch of them when one of them landed on my finger and sat there for a minute. The children swear that they could hear giggling. There was a rustling in the brush all around us as if there were many little things running around, but the sounds weren't like the animal sounds we knew. All of us knew that we had entered a secret place of the faery. None of us will ever forget that day, and we have never been able to find that place again.

This letter was sent to us in the Summer of 2001. The name has been withheld as per request.

I saw one in my bathroom last night.

This is not a joke, I really saw one.

I first saw it out of the corner of my eye, and when I turned to look at it full on, within one second it was gone. I did however, get a pretty good look at it, before it disappeared. This fairy was entirely white, and had the wings of a butterfly, it was wearing a little white frock, and was rather small. I saw the wings flapping wildly just before it disappeared.

In 1998, I saw a fairy in a bubble, in my computer room, but this one was much more brightly coloured (in shades of blue.)

I have had many strange experiences over my life so far. In some of my photographs (headshots) these little electric blue lights appear next to my face. They have appeared regardless of location, camera, or film.

Cheers,

I was feeding my cat chicken and milk , he usually stays and eats his food, but he ran away quite quickly. I went outside to see how he has and I saw little foot prints and a little person walk away.

Another story proving that fairies can be found anywhere - even in stuffy old offices!

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am fascinated by fairies, so I had been browsing at fairy websites while I was bored in the office, and all of a sudden, when nowone was in the room, I felt and heard these giant butterfly wings flapping very loudly behind my neck, and I even felt the gust of wind on my neck - when I was wide awake in broad daylight, I brushed my hand against my neck to confirm I had really felt it, whether it was a real fairy or a spirit in the form of a fairy - how wierd!

A touching story of a young lady looking for answers and hope...

I'm going through a very difficult period in my life right now. My mom passed away about a year ago and my boyfriend of 4 years just recently broke up with me. As you can imagine I am very heartbroken and lonely. Yesterday night, I had a dream that I was back together with my boyfriend and in my dream, we were smiling and just having a good time. And then at the left corner of my right eye, I see this blue glowing fairy fluttering very close to me. I woke up and wrote it off as a dream and then I dozed back to sleep and I had the dream of me and my boyfriend again with the same blue fairy fluttering in front of me. I tried reaching out to her but I couldn't touch her. When I woke up, I was very confused but it seemed very real. Does anybody know the significance of this? I believe in the paranormal, ghosts and UFOs but I've never really thought about fairies. This is what brought me to this site to learn more about fairies. If anybody knows more about these blue fairies or experienced the same type of thing please email me star2391@hotmail.com.

The mysterious nighttime antics of the fairies make a young lady curious...

It all started on midsummer's eve, I just went to sleep and in the middle of the might I woke up from a lot of barking. I immediately put my glasses on and glanced at the clock it was 2:15 am. I tried falling asleep again, but nothing worked. Finally I looked out the window to see what was causing it and there it was a small human-like creature floating over a couple of dogs in the yard near me. The faerie stood there for about ten minutes, but she left once she saw me watching her. It was such a strange experience I don't know whether to be afraid or feel safe. But ever since then I was a believer.

We received this amazing story and photo in July 2002 and even we were shocked! Photographic proof of little folks? You have to look for yourself!

check out the whole picture! photo used with permission.

My husband and I own a landscaping company in Canada. We have a practice of taking before and after photographs of the sites. Last week my husband went to price a project at a property that is deep in the bush in Tory Hill. While taking pictures of the driveway that was to be redone, he saw in his peripheral vision things moving but never actually saw anything when he turned to look. That same day he went to three other jobsites and did the same thing. We never got around to looking at the pictures until today when he came back from the Tory Hill job, having taken some more pictures, I took the digital camera and uploaded the pictures to my computer to prepare to upload them to our website. Much to our astonishment there are images that look like little tiny fairies, or should I say fairy shaped white lights. The amazing thing, besides that, is that they are only seen on the Tory Hill project site. Both on the initial photographs he took last week and again on the ones he took today. We were so amazed by this I just had to find someplace to share this. So here is one of the shots. Let me know if you would like to see the rest. Honest to God, there is no enhancement to these things. They are just on there. I have used this digital camera for two years now with the same disc. Nothing like this has happened before. Would love to hear your opinion of them. I have tried to blow the image up but it just gets grainier. Thanks ever so much.

Once again, a sighting in an unusual place!

Last winter I was playing with my digital camera and decided to take a picture of the frost on the bedroom window. I had just put away my fairy tarot cards before that.

After a few shots I came across this one picture that appears to have a face in it. If you look close there are also four small fairy like creatures in each corner of the picture. You can see their wings and even clothing. One is wearing a hat and one has a very long dress on. I'm not the only one who sees these shapes in the picture. I wanted to share it with everyone because I believe that fairies had been looking through my window and I happened to capture one as it was about to fly away. That's why the face in the center is sort of off set. Because it moved so quickly. I don't think I'm crazy but I've never had any encounter before. And after this I was really scared to sleep by any window because I did not want the fairies spying on me.

Hope other fairy believers find this interesting.

This amazing story of a life-long relationship with the fairy world comes to us from the heartland..

Growing up in rural Indiana, my father and I used to spend Saturdays in the spring "mushrooming." We would walk through the woods looking for morel mushrooms - a treat not often found in the era of the 21st century. We loved to go to a particular wooded area known as "Kermit's Woods." When I was deemed old enough, probably 8, I was allowed to wander a bit away from my Dad. The feeling of freedom in the woods, the smells, the dappled sunlight through the trees were intoxicating to a young and imaginative mind. I remember it always made me sleepy when I went off by myself and I had a favorite old oak tree I loved to sit under and make up stories for myself. I would talk to the plants and the birds. One Saturday, hearing a slight rustle, I roused myself to see a glimpse of the most splendid, bejeweled wings flying about me. Such tiny perfection, such a flash of utter beauty - I laughed out loud and that seemed to be the reaction she wanted and she darted about in even more complicated patterns. Upon hearing my dad's voice, away she scampered, leaving me with a full bag of mushrooms --- and I hadn't picked a single one. She has always stayed with me and I am now 49 years old. She has quite a sense of humour and enjoys moving things about the house. Only last Saturday (her favorite day and the day of the I was born on) she moved my glasses twice before I could pack them up and get off to my girlfriend's for the weekend. Unlike me, she is ageless and as my beauty fades, she remains the same...an illuminating light with a marvelous sense of fun. When I look at particular detailed fairy pictures I am very drawn to them so maybe that is what she would look like if I were able to see her close up. Two years after our first meeting, at age 11, I survived a violent crime. I was stabbed over 30 times and raped. Her light was one of the first things I saw when I awoke at the hospital. I never question the Universe, I only marvel at its greatness and my humble part of it.

Thank you for listening.

Three young people have an incredible experience in the woods of Calgary...

In the spring of 1997 I was living in Calgary with my girlfriend. We decided to go hiking for Mayday, and another friend joined us on the trip. It was the last night in April, and we were dropped off just outside of Canmore beneath Goat Mountain on the southeast corner of Banff National Park.

We set up our tent and tried to sleep, but were unprepared for the temperature difference. Hours of shivering later, I was still unable to fall asleep. I was lying on my side with my girlfriend next to me and our other friend on the far side. My back was to the tent wall. There was a sensation which I find hard to describe, but was like being encased in a bubble which suddenly popped, letting all the sounds that had been going on outside the bubble into my ears. The sounds were of fireworks going off.

I was suddenly unable to move a muscle. I instinctively knew that there were 30 little men with voices like children and faces like old men surrounding the tent and they were shooting fireworks out of their fingers. A shadow in the form of a dog entered the tent and I was afraid that it would hurt my friends, so I forced it out with an effort of will emanating from my belly. Then I heard the tent fabric tear behind my head and a spear point touched the spot right between my top vertebra and my skull. A little voice said, "Our dog is at your disposal, but you have to leave the box". I had an image in my mind of a little purple box I had packed for some reason. I said he could have it, and then fell into a void until dawn.

In the morning, I awoke early, and found myself in an incredible excited state. I felt I had finally made contact, but was also afraid that I had gone crazy. I decided to confer with the others to find out if it was a shared experience, and by that decide on my mental state. I went to the biffy where we had hidden our food from the animals, and found perfectly circular holes cut in our trail mix bags, about the circumference of a spearhead. There was a mountain goat on the cliff side watching me intently.

I asked the other two if "fireworks" meant anything to either of them. My girlfriend sat bolt upright and began telling me her night's dream (before I told my story, I might add). She had been having a lucid dream in which she was flying above the campsite, looking down on our tent. Little men surrounded it with spears in their hands that were shooting fireworks out of their fingers. She landed and saw me there and asked if I were dreaming. I said, "of course I am". One of the little men had a dog made of shadows. They told her that the dance begins in an hour, but we should move this green contraption of ours (the tent). We packed the tent, did a maypole dance around a post in the field and began a journey that would take us through many adventures and all the way to the gulf islands, where we met a theatre troop putting on "a midsummer night's dream".
