NSW, Australia

I have always believed in angels, spirits and aliens however was unsure about fairies. They seemed a thing of well....fairytales. A few months ago I was in great emotional and physical pain. I had discovered a betrayal by my partner and had just had surgery 2 days earlier. I was lying in bed in what was the worst time of my life. I was having trouble sleeping when out the corner of my eye I thought I saw a glowing blue fairy fluttering near my blinds. At first I told myself that it couldn't be real and that I must be half asleep but I desperately willed her to stay as I felt a sense of comfort and excitement by her presence. Sure enough she remained for what felt like a few minutes. She was so tiny, no bigger than the palm of my hand. I was unable to get up easily and feared she would disappear if I did. I couldn't see her features very well as she glowed quite a strong electric blue colour. The colour surprised me as I had never considered fairies to be that colour. She brought me great comfort in my time of need and I smiled for the first time that week. I came on this site looking to see if their was any significance to the colour of my fairy or information regarding her. To my surprise it would appear I'm not the only one to see a blue fairy.

I encountered a fairy about 5 years ago when living on the outskirts of Atomic City, Idaho. My family had just moved into a house that had been abandoned for a few years and was desperately in need of repair...the landscape was also very sparse. We were basically out in the middle of no-where.  To make a long story short, I was awakened by rocks of energy (I am not sure what you would call them) pelting my face. I opened my eyes just in time to catch a glimpse of a fairy high-tailing it out of there...(I believe that there was more than one, but I only saw one)To this day I don't understand why they were attacking me and it still troubles me. I wonder what I did to invoke their anger. It was an amazing experience! The recall of the one fairy's appearance is blurred but I do recall a sensing their mischief and displeasure.

Fred- I am 56 years old. Male and live in Springfield Mo USA. I was in my back yard when I saw a small lighted thing go through my trees about 12 feet off the ground at night. It just flashed several times then vanished. It was too late in the season for fireflies. And that was the only one I saw. It did not have a yellow glow like a firefly. Recently I saw one that seemed to be a firefly but one was all I saw. Too early for fireflys here. Amazing. Happy fairy hunting.

Since 4  years ago I´ve gain the ability to see aura´s. Not very clear though, I can sense energy. Sometimes see a color or 2. But at least it is something. It´s something I actually learned by having an open mind and having alot of patience.  I never actually saw a fairy but I have a few ideas that I might have notice the presence of one.

1 - This one was a week ago. It was dark outside and me and my mom were riding in the car around town. We riding near a church. By the church there were lot's of trees. It was just one moment. But as we were sitting in the car I believed I saw something near that church.Let's say that behind the chruch is a street. That street has alot of trees and grass. Pretty green. Anyway I believe I saw a black horse. It just runned there behind the trees. Maybe it was just a second, because after that the horse disapeared. It reminded me of a Kelpie, if that's the correct name.

2 - Also a week ago. I don't remind it clearly but I believe it was on the same day I saw the horse. It was dark again, and I believe I sat in the car. I don't remember with who. But as we turned into a street I saw a black cat. And she vanished as we came near. When I asked the other person, that person said he didn't saw anything.
I thought it was an illusion but it might be something else.

3 - This is something I experience alot. When in my room upstairs, there is a chilly wind while my window is closed. Sometimes I feel like being watched. They make no noise, it feels like they just watch.

Experience like these is something I have alot. I really wish to see one.

November of 2007, I was renting the upper loft of a home near a lake in rural Michigan. One night, at around 3 in the morning, I woke up and seen a dark mist forming just above me on the side of my bed. It looked kinda cloudy, like a puff of smoke. I then seen what looked like to be big cobweb forming within the mist. I then noticed what looked like a insect, glowing green, flying around in the web. I thought it was a spider, so in haste I swatted at it with my hands. Much to my surprise, I noticed that my hands would go right through it…the insect and the web, as if they weren’t there! I then watched it descend onto the bed where it started walking around. It looked like nothing I had ever seen before, kind of like a cross between a catepillar and a butterfly, only its limbs and body took on a somewhat humanoid appearance. I watched it as it scurried past my pillows to the front of the bed, where it then proceeded to descend down towards the floor. What’s really bizarre is that it appeared to use its arms and legs climbing down, much like watching a human climbing down a mountain. For several weeks afterwards, I would see these entities during the night. I made a big mistake and attempted to photograph them in the dark with my digital camera using a flash. The next night, I was rudely awoke several times during the night to my mattress violently being forced upwards off the bed, as if something with superhuman strength was punching underneath it. So strong was this force that at one point the mattress lifted at least 2 feet off the bed, sending me heading towards the door. However, I was so disoriented that I ran into my window, almost knocking me out. Now, a year and a half later, I hardly ever seen them anymore, although I still experience a lot of other paranormal encounters.

Lucinda- age 36 form the mountains of North Carolina, Tennessee

In 2000 I was camping in a state park when I very clearly heard a calling to run away from where I was sitting I ran toward the sound up a hill along ways off. Then it the sound just stopped and there was a slight humming noise I looked all around and then finally down and there to my surprise was definitely a fairy dwelling. So small in the crook of the tree roots. I dusted off what was a doorstep and continued to tidy up the surrounding area. Two doors appeared how grand I thought no one had lived here for some time. I spoke aloud and invited the owner to give it a look maybe comes home its safe now. No answer. I displayed some flowers over the entrance blew a kiss and walked away. I was a good distance away again when I began to hear a sweet humming sound. I turned to look up the hill where I just came from and I saw a nice pink glow all around the hillside.

I am currently working on my first piece of polymer clay plan to create the fairy I should have seen that day.

I'm Izy, 17, male,  and have been interested in the mystic for a long time. I once read that when you open window night & leaving music to play you are inviting fairies to come visit you as you sleep.. Since then I've done this every night @ first just for fun but now because it helps me to relax. It's been a month since then but I never expected anything to happen. But last Night, July 30, 09, I awoke to the sound out rapidly fluttering wings, being half asleep I thought i saw it flying in through the window. And somehow sensed that there was more than one. In a panic I jumped out of bed leaping towards the light switch thinking that there were insects in my room. I turned to the middle of the room, seeing nothing & looking around only to see my cat calmly eating her food.  I then noticed that my cat had barely come into the room, the door still swinging softly after she pushed it open. Trying to figure out what happened I realized that in a daze I was mistaken in which direction they flew, especially with only a single glance. But also realized that no animals or insects I knew of sounded or flew like that. After about 5 minutes of thinking I came to the it might have been fairies that were in my room. And that my cat entering probably scared them away.. but now I am also worried that my hostile reflex when I woke up might have scared them as well & they might decide not to return...

I was staying at a friend place in brooklyn and was actually lost at the time on the way back from the bar.  I don't think I would be able to find it again.  It was a confusing and odd night.

David, 24, Brooklyn NY 

Last night I was walking through the streets of Brooklyn.  I had a little bit to drink and when I saw my first fairy I thought it was my imagination.  I collected myself and continued on my walk.  However, when the second fairy appeared, I knew it was the real deal.  It was small and luminous, with a greenish/yellow hue.  I felt a sense of wonder as I gazed into its eyes.  Our eyes caught for only a moment, but that moment lasted for eons. I felt so at peace. She flew away in a flash.  I tried to run after her.  I was too slow.  Every since then I have been praying to the Mother Goddess that she will return to me.  Please FairyGardens2000.  If you can put me in touch with this perticular fairy, I will be eternally greatful

I enjoy your site very much and thought that I might participate. I am an old man in his late sixties but have been a believer most of my life. Well, sir a few years ago I had open heart surgery. They done a triple bypass on me and made me a lot better. However when I first came home from the hospital, I was very sick. I was so weak from the heart disease and the surgery that I caught every thing that came along. So I was sitting in my wing back chair feeling miserable and was suddenly aware that there was someone on my immediate left. I turned my head and there sat an elf on the wing of the chair I was setting in. He was dressed very smartly in a tweed type jacket with a vest and nice shirt underneath. He had short britches and long socks and black shoes. He was smiling at me. A very reassuring smile, and I felt for the first time that every thing was going to be all right. He remained for a short time, I looked away and back again and He was still there. I looked away again and back and He was gone. But the feeling of assurance remained and I got better. Now I have related this story to a chosen few and most have received it with skepticism, a few have believed me, and the rest I still am not sure of. It matters not who believes me, the tale is true.

Tanya

I was a girl, of about 5 years old. I was still of the age where mom would send me for a nap. So its possible it was a dream. But I don't' belive it...at the bottom of my heart and soul I know this was real. As I was lying on my bed, I saw a fluttering near the ceiling and a circle of colourful fairies came into focus. THey were about one foot tall, with colourful dresses (each fairy had a different predominant colour). They made eye contact with me with their fanciful and animated faces. They danced like ring-around-the-rosie, and were joyful and playful. I was entranced. Then, they looked toward the window, where a "black fairy" came in. She was in a dark gown and seemed to scare the fairies in an authoritative manner. The dance stopped and they began to scatter as she flew into the centre of the circle. I was scared too. THe fairies began to scatter. I did not see fairies again until I was 40, undergoing a reiki treatment. Multiple sparkles crossed my visual field, appearing more like a dynamic sky at night. My reiki instructor, not knowing my experience with fairies, told me these were fairy energies. Fairies are now a respected part of my life. By the way, my birth name translates into "fairy princess"!
