I too have seen a faerie. I sat by a tree in my front yard and whistled my favorite tune and I saw red sparkles in the tree. I thought that it couldn't be anything else because there are not much things where I live that sparkle besides magical things.

Caitlin - Age 14 England.

I have been blessed to have seen fairies three times.

My first sighting was when I was four or five. It was raining outside and my mum and dad were going out. I looked from my parents front window and watched them get into the cab lit up under the street light and cried as they dragged their umbrella in, shut the door and drove off. I was in tears I hated them leaving my brother, sister and I with babysitters. I simply sat there crying and whimpering.

Then at the window came a light. The light was small and glowing. I was astounded. I put my head against the window and watched it flitter about with its little wings and legs. Then came two more lights and they danced around the window. They were the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen. The rain was still pouring and my parents gone but yet I was now happy. I know it was not a firefly or anything of the sort, first of all it is rare to have them in England anyway, and it was pouring and not summer.

My second time was in broad daylight. I was walking through my kitchen and out of the kitchen door I saw a tall lady standing on the branch of a blossom tree. She had a long white gown and long golden hair, wings and what I believe was a scepter. She was about 30 cm tall, yes not small! I turned the corner into my mum's office to get my mum but looked back once more and the fairy was gone.

My third encounter with the fair folk was in my friend Kristina's back garden. We are both firm fairy believers. We had just been discussing fairies and went outside into her garden while the sun was setting but whilst the wind was strongly blowing. We stood under her willow and suddenly a dark shape flew past me. I looked at Kristina and it appeared she had not seen it. However I then looked to where she was gazing and I saw several more dark figures fly past.

At first we thought maybe they were just insects such as flies, but then more figures flew past and this time some were dark, whilst others silver. We asked the fairies to show us a sign that it was them and that we were safe. The wind gushed through our faces but then dramatically stopped. It didn't gradually slow down like it usually does.

Coincidence, maybe, but as you can imagine it got us kind of creeped out even though we knew we were safe. We ran across her vast lawn to the back where she had to lounge chairs. We huddled up on one and watched. Then up on her balcony/roof we saw some little gold figures, similar to the ones I had seen on my first encounter. We gasped and then in the middle came a light bigger than the others that kept on flashing and shimmering and disappearing. It was the colour of the Northern Lights and was just beautiful we watched it for what seemed like ages. Until they all faded as the sun went down.

Through the whole sighting we kept on asking if one and other we could see the same thing. I have been truly blessed to have sighted these magnificent creatures. We must protect them and their environment as it is being destroyed by the human race. PLEASE stay eco-friendly and never become consumed by things or money. There are so many unbelievers and so much hatred that the fair folk are hiding. There are so few sightings today we must stay strong and help to keep the fairies welcome otherwise they will disappear into the magical realm and never come out again like so many of the other magical creatures.

Skyler- age 11,USA.

Today I was outside and I spotted a dead bird floating in my pool as my dad scooped it out I was mourning the birds death and thinking of writing a letter to the fairies asking if they could help protect the animals and out of the blue I saw a beautiful monarch butterfly that was long in the center and did not fly exactly like a butterfly would.

I ran inside excitedly to tell my mother. Then I wrote the letter I wanted to write to the fairies and put it along with a little granola in my mothers butterfly house After I ate dinner I went outside to see if anything happened and sadly nothing had moved, but then I started saying the fairy chant to call any fairies and I stood on my pool slide watching that same monarch fly around and around and this was so neat the butterfly headed my way and circled me within a foot of my body! My heart was racing it was so cool! I really hope it was a fairy, and not just a regular old butterfly!

Kerry and Jenny..

My friend Jenny and I were in the forest. We were reading fairy songs out loud from my fairy book written by Cicely Mary Barker. We were also searching for fairies. I was holding my friends camera, when I saw some light yellow wings flutter in front of my face. I put the camera up to my face but the fairy had gone. Jenny saw a ruby red glow and she called to me but it had gone. We both heard a flutter of wings as well. We also saw a bird with a red glow in its mouth. I saw it fly to a house and from there Jenny saw it fly to the field. Then we didn‚t see the glow in the bird‚s mouth but did see the red glow running away.

Kerry, Age 10

Kerry 10- My best friend Hannah and I were at my house and we rode our bikes down to the field. We got off them as I saw my friend Jenny go into her house and we followed her when I spotted a silver glow. Hannah and I both saw it but Jenny didn‚t and left. We got on our bikes again and played again. Later Hannah saw a blue fairy surrounded by cobwebs and she said after a few seconds it disappeared. Later we came back and left a letter and covered it. A while later we saw a fairy sitting on a branch above us, she was silver and very pretty.
