I have a question, I believe I spotted possibly two creatures of the Fey. It was on Midsummer's Eve as well at night. Now, I believe that most "fireflies" are fairies. I was looking out my window and watching in amazement how beautiful they are tonight. They (fireflies) were all over in the woods. However, one caught my particular attention. The light seemed to be longer, and also be elongated in length of light. After a split second of seeing it, it disappeared.  Also, this morning I was checking out my window into the woods for a circle in the overgrown grass (to see if there are any, maybe fairies danced there on Midsummer's Eve. Something caught my eye, I saw a tiny shimmer of light. It shimmered once, then again, then it disappeared. Could it be a mystical fairy, or just my mind playing tricks?

I was buying my summer reading books for school at a book store recently, and when I found the small book called Gossamer, I picked it up and gently held it to my chest and sighed. It was one of my summer books and it was about fairys, it was perfect.I thought there was a few small lumps in my shirt where i was holding the book but when i went to fix it there were no bumps but I was two red things and one yellow fall to the floor. I couldn't see what they were so I bent downto look but I accidentaly dropped my book. When I picked it up there were more fairys under it. I kept flipping through pages until They were all out. All the larger fairys lept back onto the book, but as I started to walk away with them, I heard a small cry coming from the floor. Then I heard gasps coming from the book. When i looked down at the book all the fairys huddled together  and tried to get away but they didn't want to leave the book. When I looked down at the floor, there was a baby fairy, wrapped in a small slip of paper. I gently picked it up and placed on the book, then turned away so the fairies could get it. I heard cheering and a distinct female voie saying, "Oh, my baby!" then Itook the family home that day and now they live with me. They still do not like it when I look directly at them, but I peek once in awhile. 

I have believed in fairies all my life and it wasn't long ago that I turned 12. Last week I heard something really strange. I am not sure wheather it had a logical exclamation or weather it was something paranormal. Every morning at 7:04am every day on the dot, a tune started to play. It started of slowly and then got faster. I determined it was coming from downstairs but I was too scared to go and have a look. It lasted for around 2 minutes every day, then as soon as it stopped my mum would get up but it definitely wasn't my Mum's alarm. On the Wednesday I tried to record it on my phone, I did a quick sound test and waited for it to start, when it did I went straight to the top of the stairs and pressed record, my phone picked up the sound waves but not the sound, in theory it should have picked up the sound too but it didn't. My Dad is good with unusual things so I told him about it and when it started the next morning I woke him up but as soon as he got up it stopped. The music is really wierd, it is a nice tune not scary or anything but as you start to go toward it you get a bad vibe and don't go any further. I am the only one in the house who can hear it and it is really freaky but since the next door neighbours came back from holiday it hasn't happened. The music is like a tune you can make on music DJ on your phone and then after around 2 minutes it stops as if someone has turned it off. I want to know what it is but I can't unless I hear it again it is really wierd and freaky, I need help to get to the bottom of it. By the way I am definitely awake when it happens because I have been up for half an hour before it starts.

I have seen a few things that lead me to believe fairies are real: I was camping when I was nine once, and I woke up at 4:00 AM before anyone else. Once I wake up, I can't  go back to sleep, so I grabbed my coat and went outside to walk around. I felt like I was being watched, so I turned around really fast. I saw something a light shade of brown. I thought it was a bug at first, so I ran away from it. Later I realized it was WAY to big to be a bug (It was like 4 - 5 inches), so I went back to the place where I saw the fairy again. It wasn't there, but I still felt I was being watched. The feeling didn't do away until everyone woke up. I also sensed a fairy in my bedroom a few months ago, like in February (Right now it's May 2009). I shut off my light, and next to my Twilight poster I saw this blue thing. I turned on the light, and it was gone. I am now making a fairy garden and hope to earn their trust so I can see them again.

My previous home was surrounded my virgin forest and in the summer I would be sit up on the second story porch, reading and enjoying the sun (sometimes half asleep, of course). One time I opened my eyes to see a light green, kind of opaque creamy coloured fairy flitting into a tree. It just stayed there and looked at me, then flew away. I was stunned at first, but once I realized I hadn't dreamt it, it made me really happy. It never came back, but just knowing they might be around was nice.

I have had several encounters with fairies. One of my friends has had one with an Elf. She said it was Christmas and they left for a little bit and accidentally left the camera on video. They said when they came back they saw a video of a little elf hiding chocolates and clues (a tradition). I have encountered faeries in my friend’s forest beside her cottage. We saw little glowing balls in all different colors and we felt like we were being watched. Another time was when I was at my old house and I was in my backyard. Then I heard a little yelp and saw something sparkly and blue struggling to get inside the oak tree. I hadn’t seen one since but I remember seeing pixie dust all over the tree.

It was about 2 weeks ago and I heard a sort of bell like noise in my bedroom. I was starting to feel a bit paranoid so I decided to stop reading and investigate it. Then I heard a rapid flutter and turned around. I saw a flash of color and then it was gone. A few years ago I was at my friends cottage and we were in the forest. We started to see lots of little glowing balls of color and giggling. We were so afraid that we ran off but left our food behind (milk and a cookie) and in the morning it was gone. And just yesterday I was in my room and it was messy the something pinched me on my elbow. I heard another rapid fluttering and a giggle and then it was gone.

One night I was outside in my front yard. I went over to the gate at the side of the house and there sitting on the gate was a faint orange glow. Through the glow I saw a tiny body with red wings and long flowing red hair. Every weekend night I look at the gate and I have not seen the fairy. Just recently I painted my nails plain pink. When I went to bed they were plain.

When I woke up there was a design of a flower on my nail. I am still waiting for the fairy to show herself again.

While walking through the streets of Covington last night, I came across something extraordinary. Upon coming across this "thing" I was completely lost for words. I was both captivated and enchanted by what lay before. As I stared incredulously with my mouth gaping open in amazement, a myriad of thoughts whirled through my head. I didn't know if I was dreaming or hallucinating, I had never seen anything like it in the world before. This thing was a small luminescent figure about four inches high hovering many feet of the ground. This object was spectacular and took my breath away. It was easily the most beautiful thing I had ever seen with a blue aura emanating around. Suddenly my state of shock was broken by a faint giggling sound. Upon recovering my senses, I edged forward to see exactly what I was looking at. As I got closer and closer my mind was completely blown. I knew it was a fairy with its small body emanating perfection on all level and it delicate and perfect wing gently flapping in the air. Soon I got close to the fairy and ever so slowly reached out my hand towards it as if to touch it. At this gesture the fairy instantly darted away flying around a street corner. I sprinted after hoping to catch another glance of its beauty in perfection, but to my dismay it had disappeared. Since this encounter I have constantly been thinking and pondering about the fairy, and how I can catch another glimpse of it. I would sincerely love if anybody would be able to help me in my attempt to once again see this mythical figure that so greatly and eloquently captured my attention last night.
