from our friend Sarah Shepard -

I thought I'd email you about the times ive seen faeries, they both occured in the past few months, and one only 2 nights ago now.

The first I was sitting in my bedroom and I looked up and I saw a yellow glowing faerie fly quickly past, I was able to make out her legs and body before she got away. The second time was only a few nights ago I am not sure what kind of creature it was but I was laying on my bed with my friend the lights where off and it was fairly dark I looked up and I saw about a metre in height or so the sort of shape of a human it was very bright glowing blue and walked a few steps then disapeared!

Anonymous adult-

I am in my forties and have never had an experience of this kind before in my life. I described to a trusted friend what I have seen, and she suggested to me it might be fairies. I thought she was teasing me, but she wasn't. So I did some searching and found your website.

We have a back yard which we very much enjoy. It is shaded by a very large red oak tree and surrounded on all sides by an 8-foot privacy fence. We have wisteria, trumpet vines, morning glory vines, roses, an herb garden, and lots more. It's a packed, lovely space.

Three times in the last month I have seen in my yard a little flying creature and have no idea what it is. The last time there were two of them together, flying one behind the other. By the way they move I can tell what they're not. It's not a hummingbird or a butterfly. It's not a bird. Every time I have seen them they were in flight. They half-hovered, half-floated in their movement, slowly (not zipping along like a hummingbird, or the erratic movement of a butterfly.) I might have taken them for dragonflies except their bodies were not horizontal in their flight they were vertical. Their wings were much larger than their bodies, and were a shimmery pale gold-amber color, and shaped sort of like a dragonfly wing, but a bit wider and more round. Sadly, I have not been able to get closer than about 10-12 feet from them. They move away from me and out of sight as I approach. They look to have a wingspan of about 4 or 5 inches. They seem to prefer the shady part of the yard, around the wisteria and bushes, rather than the flowering vines (which the butterflies and hummingbirds enjoy). Of course, this is summer in Texas, and it's much cooler in the shady part of the yard. I'll keep watching and hope they visit again.

Something I thought interesting was, on one occasion, my cat's reaction to seeing this little thing. He never pays the least attention to hummingbirds, butterflies, or bugs. But, as this little UFO floated over the wisteria vines, he sat and watched it, never took his eyes away, till it went over the fence and out of sight. It also reassured me that he saw it too - and I wasn't just "seeing things"!

From our friend LJ -- I could never tell anyone about this because they would probably lock me up and throw away the key.

I live in the country in Southeast PA and my property is surrounded by beautiful gardens and tall trees. It was late morning, a beautiful day and I walked over to one of the big glass doors that overlooks my frog pond garden and saw something very odd. While, I am familiar with every type of bird, bee, and animal that lives and visits here, and there are many, what I saw was not one of them.

In the distance ( about 12-14 feet from the door was this sparkling little thing...hovering...going forward...then backward...up and then down a bit....but in a complete hovering type of motion....and then just hovering and not moving at all...and completely sparkling and glistening like nothing I have ever seen.

My first thought was "Oh my goodness, it's a fairy"..


My 15 yr. old daughter was nearby and as I stood there, I did say : "What the heck"....and she came over and stood next to me and also noticed the little sparkling flying thing (appeared to be about 3-4" tall from top to bottom) Well, I didn't say anything at all....and neither did she, but we just watched it until in the blink of an eye it was gone.

I looked at my daughter and said...."I don't want to say this but I think"....and she said...."Mom, are you thinking the same thing I am"? "That we just saw a fairy"?

I haven't seen it again but she did tell me yesterday that she thought she saw it again. I guess this will be our little secret because no one would ever believe it.

Anyway, this has always been an enchanted property. One day a beautiful male peacock arrived and stayed here for two years. (Even through the winter) At the time, my father had moved in with me due to his having Alzheimers disease. Well, we named him Petey. He slept in the big white pines that border the property. I worried about him when we got hit with horrible wind storms, but sure enough he was always around in the morning..waiting for me to feed him seed and berries.

This is the strange part....Whenever the ambulance would return my dad from the hospital, the peacock was always at the end of the driveway, sitting on the split rail fence across the road and calling out. (they have a strange call) People were astounded by this. The bird was pretty tame for us...we could hand feed him. He always hung out in one of the big maple trees (the climbing tree) in the back yard.

A few days after my dad passed away, the peacock was found dead in the neighbors yard. There were no signs that it was attacked by a dog or hurt.

Then there's the true and amazing story about the grey pony...

Unfortunately, we are selling our wonderful home. But, I plan to offer to take the fairies with us.

From Jeanne, Sara and Rachel

This is a picture that Rachel took on our West Virginia ghost hunt tour. As we were reviewing the phtos on my computer, we saw a small white star shaped object in the center of the picture. Wondering what it was we zoomed in on it and found that it most likely is a fairy. What do you think? I swear we have not doctored this photo.

Pam and Ron -July 1, 2005 approximately 9:40pm. Mile marker 55.5 or so on Skyline Drive in the Shenendoah Mountains of Virginia.

We had a full day on the drive and waited till late to drive home, so we would be able to see all the wildlife that comes out at dusk and afterwards. We were inundated with frogs on the road. So many you could not believe. We did all we could to avoid running them over, and believe we missed every one.

There was, however, one that appeared to have been stunned in the middle of the road, right on the double yellow line. He was rather large for a frog, not bullfrog big, but big enough. We stopped in the road, picked him up and brought him to the side of the road, and hoped for the best that he would be okay.

About one or two minutes after we saved the frog, we continued to look for more wildlife with the help of our 1,000 candlelight flashlight every now and then. To tell you the truth, I don't remember if it was in our headlights or the flashlight that we saw, in the woods at the side of the road, the fairy flutter down from a place higher then our car down to the ground. She was beautiful, legs long and together - for aerodynamics I suppose, a small, but proportioned head, body, arms and the wings, oh the wings were big and beautiful like a swallowtail butterfly only white. She just flutter down to the ground as my husband confirmed what I saw by asking if I had just seen what he had... a fairy. Thank goodness I was not alone and that he was the first to bring it up, otherwise I don't think I would ever live it down. Unfortunately, my daughter was dozing in the back and missed it... but she has fairies visit her often.

We believe that it was the fairy that came to help the frog live on. Kind of natures EMT's. Or perhaps, just perhaps, he was a frog prince and she was so greatfull that we helped him, she allowed us to see her. Then about 15 minutes later, we saw a bobcat. What a great night.

I must tell you that I have an actual picture that I took. I was in a neighbors yard with my grandson and was taking a picture of him with my digital camera. When I brought the picture up on my computer there, just below him, looks to me like a fairy hovering over a flower. You can actually see details such as wings, arms and legs. It is quite beautiful. It was a crisp autumn day. I live in the United States in Northeast Louisiana. Not the usual place for sightings but who knows we may have the southern type down here.

When my grandmother was little (around maybe ten or twelve), she was staying the night at her grandparents' house. The window of her room overlooked their backyard which had a very old and big tree and beautiful vines and flowers. That night she couldn't sleep and while she was looking around her room, she noticed what seemed to her to be fireflies flying around her back yard. She went over to the window and was watching the lights when a fairy flew right past her window. My grandmother says that the fairy was so bright that my grandmother could almost not make out what she was. My grandmother says that the fairy was holding a little lantern. Her wings were a silvery-clear and she was wearing a flowing gown.

My story took place about a year ago. I was walking my dog in my neighborhood in the late afternoon. We were walking by the lakes that are in the back of my neighborhood when I heard laughter and giggling. I looked around and couldn't see anyone but then I looked at the lake. The fairies were probably of the water element because I saw to globbs of water hopping in and out of the water one over the other as if they were playing tag. The moment I caught this it seemed as if everything else went still. Magical is the only word that can describe it. I felt happy and warm inside after seeing this. I was trying to figure out what it was and the only thing that came to mind was it could be fairies. I hope I get to see them again because they seemed so happy, carefree, and beautiful.

A wonderful story from Kathy!

When my daughter was only a few months old and sleeping in a bassinet in our room, I would often get up in the night just to look at her illuminated by the ever so subtle light of the street lamp outside the bedroom curtains. I would marvel at her beauty and the wonder of her being in our lives.

One night, as I was standing there looking down, just for a moment I thought I saw a gentle little light go on for a split second and then it was gone. Unsure whether I had seen it or not, I stood there for several seconds just watching. Sure enough, there it was again, a gentle going on of a small light just by her blanket and then off again, as if a firefly or a lightening bug had gotten into the bedding. I turned on the light and taking the baby out and laying her on the bed, I ripped the bedding apart looking for the insect but there was none and then I realized . . . . It was February - there are no bugs in February! Confused, I put the bedding back and the baby back and turned out the lights. Once more, I stood by the bassinet watching. Just as before, a little spot of light came on slowly and then extinguished slowly. Not only that, this time there were two and then, three of them. I was amazed and did not know what to think. Alarmed that something was happening to my baby, I picked her up out of the bassinet and carried her to the bed with me. All the while the little lights flickered on and off around her and on her. I called to my husband to wake up and asked him if he saw it too. He said that he did but he was sure it was just static electricity, but I was sure IT WAS NOT just static electricity. I got into bed with the baby and put her on my stomach under the blankets. But even there, when I lifted the blankets, the lights were going on and off underneath where she was.

The next day I was just frantic. I opened the telephone book to the yellow pages and called every number that I could find; psychics, metaphysical, colleges . . . just to find somebody - - anyone to ask what the phenomenon was and if it was dangerous to my baby. Finally, I reached a psychic and I told her gulping and hysterically what I had seen and begged her to tell me what she thought it was or if she could tell me someone I could call who could tell me what it was. She said "shhhhhh - it's okay, calm down now . . . I know what it is." "What is it?" I asked frantically. She said "It is Fairy Lights - Your daughter must be very, very special. The Fairies are protecting her - she has a close bond with them." I thanked her and slowly hung up, amazed at the thought. The phenomenon did seem very gentle, the way the lights went on and off slowly. I decided I would keep watch but I did feel better about it.

That night, and many many nights thereafter, I would get out of bed and stand above my daughter's bassinet and watch her beauty and the beauty of the fairy lights gently going on and off on her and around her. No longer fearful, I would smile and feel strangely safer and comforted knowing she was being cared for so tenderly and lovingly by them.

My daughter is now 6 years old and she is, indeed, very special. She is developmentally delayed but she has a wondrous spirit, bold but also sensitive with a natural empathy on board. I know the fairies will always be with her, keeping her safe and guiding her. My love for the wondrously magical creatures shall always remain steadfast and strong, and always I will smile when I remember those nights watching their magical lights, beacons of safety and love, glimmering in my baby's bassinet.

1996- David, SeaTac Washington:

I do believe in little people although if I had not personally seen one, I never would have thought it would be possible that they were actually real. I was watching television one afternoon and noticed a 2 inch tall little man running out of the dining room into the living room of my apartment. He stayed close to the wall and ran past me into the entrance hall of the apartment. The little person did not look at me. He looked straight ahead and looked like he was afraid that he might be noticed. The little man was no more than 2 inches tall. He was about 47 years old in human years. He had short brown hair. He looked exactly like a human exept that he was only 2 inches tall. He was wearing black slacks with a white long sleeve shirt and a black vest. He seemed like he would be friendly. I am not sure if he was a fairy with special powers such as glamor or if he was just a little person. The expression on the little person's face showed that he was very afraid of being noticed or possibly captured. I could have caught the little person except that due to the fact that the little person was very afraid of being seen, it was the right thing to do to just let him go. I have told a few people about seeing the little person. I do not believe anyone believes it is possible that little people such as the one I saw can exist. I wish I would have had a camera so that I could show proof that the little person I saw actually exists. I just want to let people know that the stories on your website from other people about a fairy sightings are credible. Little people do exist and may be part of the fairy world.

The lights went out in our area due to power interruption. As I went back to bed after turning off my computer UPS & monitor, I suddenly saw a tiny bright purple light hovering down my bedroom ceiling. I was deathly scared and could even feel my heart pounding because I wasn't sure of what it was. It was total blackness and the tiny light was the only thing I saw and it was moving in circles. It was kind of a formless light, purple in color and it had a tail following as it went around. I was about to scream for help when the light suddenly expanded and I started to hear a beautiful sound which I could not describe. I was completely amazed and mesmerized. After a while, power lights went up and it suddenly disappeared. I have always believed in fairies since I was a little girl. I have seen so many of their dwelling places near the river in our farm but never have I expected that one day I would actually see one.

Mysterious dreams and encounters in the forest - May 2005

Seitrith- Age 21.

It seems I've always been called by the Wee Good Ones. Even when I was still just a Baptist Christian, I would see things I could never explain.

Once I saw one while on a swing. A little black shadow shaped like a woman only a few inches tall darted in front of me. Ever since then I'd see them here and there, darting around my home. I'm blessed to see them inside my college apartment even now.

I'll never forget the two most amazing points in my life...

It was still early spring, so early there was frost still on the ground, and everything was still brown. I was walking through the woods, and came into what could only have been a faerie ring! There was a small stream running through it, and the area was no longer than seven feet, and no wider than five, but everything within the area was as bright green as summer! I left tea and some sweet after-dinner mints for them. They must have enjoyed them, for that very night I had only pleasant dreams of wee little people whispering just outside my second story window!

Another time happened in the fall maybe just a year later. I was with a friend, and the leaves were bright and mostly fallen. I was once again in those beautiful woods behind my house and near the creek. I called out softly, and suddenly a gentle breeze could be heard comming towards me through the trees. Proceeding the rustle of leaves, I could hear soft footsteps coming closer and closer. I grew a bit dizzy as the wind brushed past me and touched my face like a hand. When I opened my eyes and looked down, I saw places where the leaves had been kicked up on the ground as if someone had walked by!

I have been blessed by their presence for years, and it never fails that when I leave treats out for them, I find those treats gone in the morning.

What a wonderful gift!
