A young woman searchs for her own answers!

Hello my name is Serena. I am 17 years old and I've loved fairies since I came to know about them when I came to the U.S

When I was little I didn't know much about fairies because no one ever told me about them, however, when I became 16 I decided to research about them and to collect fantasy stuff. One day I was outside in the car while my mom was trying to find a parking spot for the car, when suddenly I saw a bright blue aquamarine light that was flying up along the trees and heading towards the forest there is behind the apartment where we live which is very big has some trees and its very mystical, but going back to the story....when I saw the sparkly light flying up, I tought I was seeing like one of those "bubbles" u see when u open your eyes in the morning , I immideately told my mom to look at it but she said she was busy trying to park the car. I closed my eyes and opened them again very quickly and I could still see it flying !!! It kept flying as slow and at the same time quickly like a butterfly and going up in the trees, but I'm sure it wasn't a butterfly because it wasn't even spring for insects and other animals to come out and a bird?......they don't usually come out at night and if they do I don't think birds glow in the dark ...so maybe it was a winter fairy.

Another time I remember seeing something was when I stayed up late at night - past midnight - when finally I finished researching, I closed my computer, when suddenly I turned around to turn off a little lamp I have next to my computer when suddenly i saw a big bubble with the corner of my eye full of light in the inside and a dark shadow inside as if there was a little person inside, but unfortunately when I tried looking with both eyes it popped out and dissapeared!!! I was scared cause I was the onlyone up that day since everyone was sleeping. The weird thing was that after 3 weeks, I talked to my best two friends about it and they told me that they had seen a bubble in the kitchen.

A young lady helps out a Fae...

I was writing in my room and I could hear these frequent tapping noise like wings beating against glass. I followed the sound and it led to my hair bobble box- so I put my ear right by it. I was worried something like a fairy might be trapped inside so a quickly took the lid off so it could escape. I got a feeling that even though I didn't see anything- a fae type of creature flew out the box. The tapping stopped as soon as I opened the lid.

Are the mountains of North Carolina home to a mystery?

I was very pleased to see the many sighting stories from many continents of the world. I am a fellow faerie-believer, although I am Christian, and I am right at fourteen years of age. I have two sightings to report, both occuring at a friends house on a very special mountain in NC.

The first occurance was on a night that we had been running around on our very mystical mainstreet, and had come home to play in the woods. After playing in the woods, my close friend and I went inside at a late hour to sit and watch a Monty Python movie, one of her favorites. I was drifting to sleep, not really paying any attention to the movie, when suddenly out of the corner of my eye I spotted a bright orange light in a small window. I looked over and there were a large pair of orange, firey wings. They were literally blazing as if they were burning. Also, there were three or four smaller bright white wings floating around them. I looked away a few times, yet each time I looked back, they were still there. I pointed them out to my friend who claims she saw them, too. Soon they were gone, though, and I drifted to sleep.

The second occurance was with the same friend on a different day. We had once again been to main street and had been running around the mountain. We came home very late to sit on her porch. While we were star-gazing with incense burning and candles a flame, there were suddenly several dozen bright, rapidly blinking blue lights. They were fairly small, and very appealing. At first I considered that they were fireflies, but their color corrected my suggestion. I was very ammused at them. This time, my friend really did see them, and speaking to them softly, one perched just beside her head on the banister. We heard faint mumbling, and a constant lullaby of mutters. It was a belief-altering experience.

Now I live on the same mountain as my friend, and I have come to find a surging power running throughout the forest here. There is a quaint little stream, and several witch circles are formed in the trees. It is a very calming, relaxing place.

A frightening experience may very have been a visit from fairies!

I have always thought stories of fairies where true but just until a couple of months ago I've been looking up ways to gain their trust so they will let me see them.

I'm 17 right now but about 2 years ago I had a very strange experience. My mom was at work, my dad was sleeping and so was my brother. I was the only one in the living room and I was waiting for a video to rewind I had just put in. I was sitting on the couch, it was about 11 pm, I heard what sounded like little kids laughing. I wasn't sure what to think at the time but it scared me! I knelt down on the couch peering over the top of the arm.

I called my friend and told her but she didn't believe me. I told her I thought it was ghosts. After reading some of the other peoples sighting stories I realize that it was fairies. There couldn't have been little kids about at that time of night... I hope to make friends with some fairies soon.

A young woman and her friend find confirmation...

A few months ago my friend Fawn and I were outside and saw a very bright yellow light. The light was round and was as big as a softball. Looking at it gave my friend and I calm feelings. It glowed and flew around us. Then it left.

A few weeks later I was in my backyard by a bush and I heard a small voice say, "Hey girl". I looked around but did not see anyone. I heard a giggle and then something flew out of the bush.

I believe in fairies. So do my friends. I think that's why my friends and I saw and heard fairies.

A young American has many experiences in Germany and at home....

I love drawing pictures of fairies and Amy Brown is my favorite fairy artist!

I've been reading all these fairy sightings, and have been enchanted by them! Now when I see something a little strange I will know that it could be a fairy. I haven't fully admitted to myself that I believe in fairies because, as a Christian, I don't know if it would be bad if I believed in them. Can anyone tell me if it is okay to be a Christian and still be a fairy believer? I might have had more than one encounter with a fairy. I'm not sure if it was a fairy or not- but deep down I know it could be. My first experience is very faint and it was in Texas. We had just moved there and I was about 6. We lived in apartments and there were woods behind and on one side of them behind the gates. On the one side the gates were wood not metal and some boards were broken down. Often my sisters and I would go on the other side of the gate to look around. One day we went a little too far so were a little scared- we weren't even supposed to be on the other side of the gate. We found a little pathway it looked like curving around a small hill. We approached the path but heard footsteps and got startled and ran. Also a little myth was that there was a small cottage in the woods behind the trees were a strange person lived. Maybe it was a fairy?

The second encounter was much better. This encounter was in Germany! For a school hinter brand trip we were to go far away to a place and do fun stuff and learn. It was near beautiful mountains, forests, paths, streams, and little waterfalls. One day I was going down to the basement to put my shoes away when I saw a white light go by me! It was round and looked like it left a little white trail for an instant behind it. I remember it well and it was passing by slowly yet I only saw it for a second. I saw no form, just white, and it was bright, and about the size of a fist. I thought it was a ghost but now that I read these other sightings I think it might have been a fairy. The place we stayed was on a little hill and another day my friend said at night she was looking out her window and she saw at the bottom of the hill a white figure of a man. She said it was a ghost.

Another encounter was also in Germany. I was in my basement-practicing violin when I felt something tugging on the back of my shirt. It was a slight tug but I know it was there. It felt like a tug that only a fairy could give because it was gentle and only in one part and I don't know but I got scared and thought it was a ghost and ran up stairs and told my mom and sisters.

The last encounter was in front of my church in Germany. We had just finished with Rock the King night which ends at 12:00. I was very happy and I was looking up above the door for some reason when a green thing flew past. I truly believe that might have been one! As it flew past I followed it with my eyes. It was a bright green that I have never seen on bugs. I could have swore I saw legs and hands and maybe a head and a set of slightly glowing wings that looked a little transparent. It was too big to be a firefly. I have never seen a big bright green bug like that! It was so beautiful! I told my sister and an 18 yr old boy I knew. I told them I saw a really big bug that looked kind of like a fairy or something. They just said, it was just a bug.

I have always and still want to know that I have seen a fairy. What I mean is I want for one to stay still so I can see it- or for there to be evidence- like a ring or mushrooms or something. I want to hear one. I just hope it is fine to God that I could believe in fairies. If it's fine then I will but I don't want to upset or sin against God. Please help!

A young lady has several amazing sightings in West Virginia!

I am lucky enough to have many faerie encounters, here are a few recent ones.

I was reading a book on faeries in bed one night when out of the corner of my eye I saw a blue faerie about 5 inches tall with beautiful transparent dragonfly wings playing my glass of water out of the corner of my eye, I turned and could faintly see it but then I let my mind wander, still looking in the direction and I saw it clearly again. I got butterflies in my stomach and felt like crying.

Another time I was sitting in the car waiting for my day when I saw him walk out of the house I saw a 4 foot green man with a pixie hat crouched over looking in my direction, upon realization that my dad was about to pass him he hopped behind a bush.

I was playing my faeries oracle tarot deck and I had 4 candles lit, 2 of which were rose clored, which are supposed to attract faeries, and as I was playing I saw a beautiful gold light about the size of a quarter hovering across the table. As soon as I saw it I had to smile, I felt this feeling of security and happiness.

Most encounters I have leave me with strong emotions and often I feel so lighthearted I can fly. I hope to have many more encounters and I Hope to post them when they happen!

A young lady's step mother and friend have an amusing encounter...

My step-mum and her best friend saw a fairy on New Years Eve 2004. They describe her as being a white shadow which 'played' with them. They said she was the most beautiful thing they ever saw. She was shy at first but then they talked to her and she came closer. They said she was 'swinging' and darted out from behind shadows. My step-mum told the fairy how pretty she was, and the fairy fluttered. They both said it was amazing and they had the feeling that she will come back again, and I know she will.

A young person makes an amazing discovery in the forests of Virgina!

I am 12 years old and I live in Richmond, Virginia. My sighting wasn't of a faerie per say, but when I was about 9, I was building a faerie house in my backyard, which I do a lot, and I needed some tree bark, so I was looking around a tree in my backyard for loose bark when I noticed a small knothole in the tree. I peered inside, for though I had lived in that house for four years and the tree had been there the whole time, this was the first time I had noticed the hole. Inside the hole was what at first appeared to be a tiny wing, and it seemed to be glowing. There was a blue smoke around it. I reached in the hole to pull out the wing, but as soon as I touched the wing, the glow and smoke disappeared. The wing was about and inch and a half long, and looked somewhat like a dragonfly wing, except wider. Transparent, with no color, except a tiny golden inscription along one edge. At first it seemed like just a line, but after closer inspection, it proved to be tiny symbols that were, sadly, illegible. The wing was extremely fragile, and crinkled and was crushed if handled too roughly. I still have the wing. At first it was kept in a metal box, but the inscription disappeared and the wing started becoming more and more fragile. Then I read a story about how faeries die if they touch iron, so I replaced the metal box with a porcelain bowl which I filled with flower petals and leaves, and lo and behold, the wing seemed to "regain its health". The inscription never came back, though. To this day the wing remains one of my prized possessions.

Also, my grandmother lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Once, when I visited her, I was exploring the woods and stumbled on an old woman with leaves and branches in her tangled green hair. She was wrinkly and dressed in what looked like leaves. I pointed her towards the well and continued on my way. That night I found that my favorite blackberry bush was fully ripened, although it was nearly fall.

A young woman has two experiences that turn her into a true believer!

I live in the country area of the Piedmont region of North Carolina, in the loveliest part of course! I have had one fairy sighting that I know happened, and another that I am not positive about. The first one was about two years ago. None of my friends‚ believe me, except my best friend Erin - we have known each other forever! She lives on the property in front of mine, and her grandparents live in between our properties. Her Grandparents have a lovely large creek that Erin and I have played at since we were very small. Once, when we were down at the creek, we had a truly amazing experience!

We were sword fighting with little sticks, when I fell down. There is a large flat rock with a tiny river flowing between it, and another rock. On the other rock there are beautiful ferns and jasmine. After I fell, Erin quickly bent down to help me, and when she did, a little fairy had come up from within a fern. She had a bright glow surrounding her, as I have heard a fairy of earth element does. She wore a shawl of leaves and a silky material. She had wings that had a tint of greenish purple color when they were in the sunlight. She has not yet returned, but we both feel confident that she is still watching through the trees.

My second fairy encounter was about two weeks ago, I was having trouble sleeping, and I was looking out my window, when I saw a light in the woods. I live deep in the loveliest woods! I was sitting on my bed, and I saw light and at first I thought that it had to be a firefly. Then there about four more lights came up, and they were a lot bigger than fireflies, maybe like five inches tall. I am a true believer, and I have spent the last three years researching fairies, and even have a slide presentation including the history of the famous Cottingen fairies.
