Sara, 10, USA

When I went to where my mom works I saw a faerie. I was walking towards the house there was a row of bushes. Then, I saw one fly out to me. She was gray but cheerful. She stayed there a moment twitching her antennae then left. Another time it was night. My mom's physic friend and I were on the deck. Then we both looked at the yard and saw a greenish blue glow. She was beautiful. Though we didn't see her figure her glow enchanted us. I asked if she saw it in a whisper and she whispered back."Yes, and it's bluish." I was astonished she really did see it too!

It's not as everyone says, they don't have dust on him or her that'll make you fly. And I've never have seen them do anything magical except exist-but they've always been near me. Sometimes when I go to new places I see them. I consider myself extremely lucky and I keep expecting to wake up from a dream. I wonder to myself why they are so comfortable around me. I wish that everyone had the privilege to see one; it brings a feeling of exhilaration that can't be explained in writing. To know that it's not just a fairy tale, but it's real. These beings do exist whether you believe in them or not.

I am 17 years old, but when I was 9 I saw my first fairy...

I live in the USA, and always have and I was playing in my backyard around 7:30pm, twilight and dusk. And I was playing by the flower bushes and I heard something. I was afraid, because I thought that it was a snake or something, but I saw a light in the bushes. Being curious, I went up to it and looked. My heart stopped at what I saw. It was a woman about the size of my fist with beautiful delicate wings. Her eyes didn't have irises they were just pure green. Being young, I reached out to try and touch her but she cut me and flew away. I ran back to my mother and tried to tell her, but she didn't believe me and told me that I had just scraped myself on a thorn. After that I became obsessed with them. I consider myself very lucky, for most people only have the privilege of seeing a fairy once in their lifetime. But I myself have seen them many times, and have actually held one in my hands. No one ever believes me, and when I try to show them, they won't come out from hiding. They won't allow me to take pictures of them either. In fact, I don't even know if they're good or evil because they don't speak, at least I can't understand what they're saying. And they aren't all women either, I've seen boys as well, but they don't usually come out. Some of them still live near my house, but I never saw the first fairy again. The one fairy that has always been there I still see. And, she's even been in my house before and in my room.

I ended up seeing a fairy pass my window at nighttime, it was white and glowing and had legs I saw which made me KNOW it was a fairy! I am so excited, and then tonight I decided to go out and take random pictures and I took one of some sort of fairy folk?

When I was nine I was playing with my friend in the lane at the back of her house. She went inside to get a drink and I sat on the grass, under a tree, looking at a flower bush. It was sort of a flash, some thing, and an outline of a little person emerging from the flowers. Then my friend called: "I'm back!" And the "fairy" flew off it a flash!

Firefly or fairy?

My sister Jasahna and I saw a fairy once. We were at a parking lot and we saw two four to five inch glows floating over a pole. We thought they were fire flies but then we noticed they were not in our part of Florida so we knew they had to be fairies. When we got in the car we looked back and the fairies were gone!

Casey makes an amazing friend!

My name is Casey and I'm 15 years old. When I was little I would never let someone say fairies didn't exist because I knew they did and one would die somewhere.

One day when I was out in the woods behind my house I used to pretend I was a Fairy, until one day I stayed out too late and had gotten lost in the woods. I was crying and panicking but I saw a little light and as it got closer I saw it had human like features, I knew it was a fairy! It helped me find my way back to my house and I told her, "Thank you". To this day I swear to you that same fairy still stays with me. Now I live in an apartment with a pond in the back and she plays their some nights. I have never taken a picture of her for she is too beautiful to be captured on film I would like to say we are sort of best friends.

A young American becomes a believer after seeing evidence from half a world away!

Hello. My name is Emily and I am 11 years old. I strongly believe in fairies and have grown a strong liking for them. I began believing on a September day when I was giving an invitation to my party to a close friend. She noticed it was a fairy party and quickly pulled out a picture. She told me her father recently had gone to The Philippines to a place called Pixie Forest*. She told me that he was just taking pictures of the ticket booth and when he developed the pictures, there was a pixie in the picture!

A whimsical experience in a school yard!

2005 Lynaya age 10 Virginia.

Today at school, I was playing outside, and I looked up and I saw what looked like a bunch of fairies flying in the air. They were showing me a book that had my name on it, which is unusual because my name isn't really anywhere, and they came up to me and I heard faint muttering and they flew away.

Wish, hope, and believe!

Mary Ellen. 2005- I have only had one sighting that I can remember clearly. In 2002 my friend and I were making fairy bedrooms out of some clear jewery boxes she had. We put some mini cookies in a box and a few minutes later you could see small chunks of the cookies being taken away!

I have never really seen an actual fairy, only evidence. I first started believing in fairies in first grade when my friends and I found some glitter on a tree at our playground. I got some scraps of material from my mom, then made house with them in a hole in the tree. The older second graders made fun of us and got the material all muddy.

Now I am 10 and in 5th grade. I want to see fairies so bad! A few of my friends used to be able to see tons of fairies [or so they said] but now they say that they can't see them any more. I still love fairies and I believe strongly in them. Maybe this summer I might see one. I have tons of fairy books [not trying to brag!].

A frightening sound: fairy or woodpecker?

Madison L. age 10- Michigan.

I have always believed in fairies and I I'm trying to find out more about them. I have never seen a fairy but I have heard one.

I was working on my fort one day when I heard a cross between a laugh and a scream. The odd thing was it sounded like a whisper. I looked around to see if it was my brother and his friend but they were nowhere in sight. I was scared so I ran to see my brother and his friend, they were playing, and I told them what happened. They didn't believe me so I took them to where I heard it. We heard it again and again and they said it was a woodpecker but when we heard it again then they agreed it was not a bird. I hope to see a fairy someday. I will never forget that experience!

A woman and her daughter have both experienced the world of the fae..

Lucy- 17 North East USA.

Both my mom and I have had experiences with fairies. She told me that she saw one, when she was a girl, by her grandmother's flowerbed. She said that she was blond, and glowing white while she hovered above the flowers, but when she saw my mom she dove inside. When my mother looked for her she wasn't there.

I was playing around at Williamsburg, VA once with a few friends. I'd read that fairies lived by toadstool rings and when I was scouting around behind an old building I found one in the grass. One of my friends thought it would be fun to knock it over and I jumped inside the ring and told them to come out. All these animals popped out of the bushes around the clearing we were in and just stared at us, especially these two bright red cardinals that sat side by side on a branch. I thought I saw sparkling lights through the leaves. I believe in fairies, always have and wouldn't mind seeing one head on.

A flicker of wings inspires belief...

Andi, 15 USA

I have seen a faerie (or at least think that I have) it was once when I was very young and I was twirling in our small hallway looking up at the ceiling when I saw something completely green with black eyes it hovered above me for a moment as I stared at it and then disappeared. I haven't seen a faerie since then, but would very much like to.

I was laying in my yard around 6:00 pm, and I opened my eyes to see purple wings fly by out of the corner of my eye from the direction of my garden so I looked towards it and once again I could only see it out of the corner of my eye then again and then it was gone...All I could really see was purple wings about 2 or 3 inches high.
