Katelyn -

I was at the Girl Scout Appleseed Ridge Council in Ohio for their summer camp when a red woodland fairy (about half an inch big) flew right up in my face! It looked similar to an insect, but if you looked closely, you could make out arms and legs. Then, it started copying every move I made. So, I ran around in circles about three times, and then stopped. I looked around, and the fairy was gone!

About three years later, my girl scout troop and I went to the Mudhen's Baseball Overnight Trip also in Ohio. When it was dark, I looked up (sick of watching people hitting and throwing balls over and over) and saw little glowing midnight fairies flying everywhere above me! They were about an inch big each and looked like white glowing balls of light! They kept appearing and disappearing, and so I told my fellow fairy believers (as in my troop). We all couldn't believe how many there were! There were too many to count!

My last fairy sighting was also at the Mudhen's Baseball Overnighter, but after the game's fireworks. The fireworks made my troop and I flip out in worry! We were afraid the fireworks might have hurt the fairies, so we searched carefully for injured fairies. Then, as soon as we were done searching, I turned around and saw a gray fairy about half an inch big standing on the tip top point of someone's tent!

I was about eleven when I saw something amazing. It was the summer at night and I was outside feeding my dog. I was just scooping up his food when I saw a golden ball of light right about the size of my fist going back and forward rapidly for about twelve seconds. My dog had just gone inside, and I was standing there frozen to the spot. I was in awe, but I was disappointed when it disappeared. In fear, I went back inside and shut the door locking it. I had no idea what it was. I told my parents. Naturally, they didn't believe me. Some people I told said it was a firefly. Well I'll be darned if we get fireflies up here. Other people said it was a flashlight. Then where was the beam? I checked and flashed a flashlight through the sliding glass door. It wasn't the same effect at all! I'm inclined to believe I saw a fairy. It fascinates me to this day. I'm dying to see one again. I have seen lots of lights flying around in my room out of the corner of my eye. I've seen them so many times, but they always disappear as soon as I've spotted them. I don't know if it's the trick of the eyes or not.

There is a giant tree where I live (in the middle of the woods), that has a huge mossy mound at the base of it. I believe there to be fairies living in the mound underground! When I am upset, I run to my tree, and lay on the ground right at the mound, and I feel better. The reason I think they live there is that there are two holes about eight inches in diameter that I believe to be the entrances and exits. That tree and mound are the only things that stay green in winter- everything else is dead, gray and bleak. That tree is so beautifully alive any day. I will put flowers down, and they will be gone ten minutes later! I see them all the time and I'm sure everyone who truly believes will see them too.

I was in my bed with the lights out, as it was my bedtime, and I was thinking about Harry Potter when all of a sudden I hear a giggly voice say something and as it woke me up from my thoughts I only heard the end of it which as something like: "With you". I ended up thinking it was my sister on the phone, but it didn't sound like her so I asked if she was on the phone and she said, "No". It couldn't have been her music both as it was guys singing and the voice I heard was feminine and squeaky. I went back to bed, but I honestly think it was a fairy.

Just today, I found a pair of fairy wings resting on my window sill. They were no bigger than two millimeters. Also, I found a baby fairy sleeping in a bird's nest on my porch.

I thought I would email you about the times I've seen faeries, they both occurred 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 meter in height or so the sort of shape of a human it was very bright glowing blue and walked a few steps then disappeared!

It all started when I was about five or six. It was around seven o'clock in the evening and I was heading out of my great grandmother's house to go to swimming lessons. When I stepped onto the plateau (halfway between the first and second story) on the outdoor stairway I peered over the shoulder high railing to view the backyard. There resting in on the lawn was about a 3 inch ball of luminescent light. Intrigued, I stared intently while my mother and great grandma continued down the stairs. Without any prior knowledge, I instantly concluded it was a faerie. As I gaped upon the little creature devoid of blinking, I wondered why it had not moved. I pondered the fact that my mom and grandma had not seen the glowing ball; after all, it was pitch black outdoors. And, if it really was there, why hadn't my two dogs gone to investigate this being?

By the time I reached the bottom of the stairs, my instincts told me not to get closer, so I simply proceeded out the back gate. Never to question the occurrence again. Until now, a near ten years later, when I'm beginning to interrogate the entire faerie issue again.

First, it started out with extremely good luck, I would risk something terrible happening, then at the last second change my plans, which would alter the fate I was about to receive. For example, I was about to stay home sick on a Monday, but instead, suddenly have the urge to go to school and then stay home on Tuesday. Only to find out that, my entire English class was going to get 15 points off our biggest assignment of the year, had we missed school that day.

These episodes began happening rapidly all around me. It was only last Thursday, when I brought up my beliefs to my mother. She was very understanding, and shared her experiences to me as well. Now it is Friday, and many unexplainable things have happened since then. On Monday, I was lying in my bed, when I heard the sweetest music, as though it were all around me. It was not like a T.V. or a stereo, but like deep, rich notes echoing around my head. They were few and far between, yet I could barely make out the soft melody. I sounded as if it could be large humming bells, an alto sounding flute, or even long and smooth harp strums. Then on Tuesday I experienced terrible bad luck, and embarrassment at school, when I tried to perform a solo dance piece. Later, at my local dance studio, I was sitting in the lobby, as my teachers and classmates talked around me. I was rather quiet and just looked across the room. Then a dark black object, about 2 inches whizzed past my field of view, only 2 feet from my face. It flew over my shoulder and behind my back. I turned around to see where the beautiful moth like creature went, but could see nothing. It had disappeared. I feet suddenly uplifted and looked at the expressions on the dancers faces, except no one had seen it. Not even the instructor who was standing behind the couch where I was sitting. I knew it was not and insect because I could distinctly remember long flowing hair and two miniature, human-like legs on the little person that I viewed with my right eye. It seemed to flutter as it flew, clumsy and graceful at the same time. When I entered the dance room, she showed herself to me again, by doing a dive in the air below me. Just like that she had vanished. Then yesterday, I was sitting on my school bus, peering out of my window, when I saw a small green ball of light through a church (which is now used as an auditorium) window. I turned and it was gone. I waited and watched for a student to appear, or someone to turn on a light, yet no one emerged from the darkness.

I made a bed and something dropped onto it - I saw a glowing ball. When I woke up the bed was made different than I made it.

I have seen a fairy in a forest and at my playground. When I was in the forest I was looking for my cousin when I saw a snake and began running until I heard music and laughing. I followed the sound, forgetting about the snake, and when I turned the corner I saw the most beautiful thing I've ever seen- it was a fairy. On the playground I was by myself by my favorite tree to think. I somehow couldn't hear the laughter and yelling from the playground anymore but I saw a sick fairy in front of me. I picked it up and took it to class and fed it. When I fell asleep I saw glowing and then I woke up and looked for the fairy but there instead was a note that said "You Are Giving And Special Thank You" it was a gold letter I still have it today and still look for fairies and sometimes find some and people think there is no such thing! When I was about eight, me and my friends Jordan and Sydney went to this forest with our moms, we saw little colorful sparks about a centimeter tall and thought they were fairies. Jordan saw one that looked like a dragonfly, but then she saw it spread human arms and legs out............it was a real fairy! I also think I saw millions of fairies when I was eight years old.

I've been seeing fairies since I was a little girl. One of my recent sightings was when I was in my garden and I heard this buzzing in my ear. I turned around and I saw a pink bubble glowing. There was a tiny body inside it! Now my friends, Amber, Taleah and Kimberley see them all the time.

When I was about 7-9 years of age, I recall my mother telling me to go and clean my room. I started with the junk under my bed because it was jutting out haphazardly and I didn't want to get in trouble. I started pulling things out and saw from my peripheral vision something small and tan run under the foot of my bed. It took me a few seconds to get the courage to investigate but when I did look under the bed I remember many little horse-like creatures running around. They were all dipping and diving into my shoes and there were various little tan people hiding between shoes and climbing laces etc. They kind of had whispery little chats that sounded like a small child's whispering and they had big eyes and wispy hair, but I can't remember much after that except some years later, after I brought up the incident my father told me we had a problem with mice. They were not mice, but since it was so long ago, I can never really know.

I have seen what I thought was a fairy on the 12th of November 2005. I was walking around and I heard this buzzing in my ear and I looked and in the corner of my eye I saw a pink, glowing thing. I think it was a fairy. From that day on I keep hearing fairies laughing every time I enter my garden.
