Tales of meeting real Fairies
A collection of tales describing real encounters of meeting fairies
Is it a Fairy or is it a Faerie?
My first encounter with a fairy was just off the local popular bridal way near where I used to live in County Durham between Rolands Gill and Medomsley. I had a period when I would jog about a mile or so up the track in an attempt to get fit. Often however, I never made the mile as I would either be dragged into the wood by some fun nature spirits wanting to play or by Herne to be led to some interesting energy areas. On one such occasion I was led through the undergrowth until I emerged by a stream. There was a small overhanging tree on the other side which seemed to have some sort of being sitting in its central branches about two meters from the ground.
How big are fairies and do they carry wands?
As I got closer it resolved into a white creature holding a long stick type thing which actually twinkled at one end – sorry but I just could not handle that this could be a magic wand. What really confused me was that it seemed quite big (about two feet tall (60cm)) and seemed eh! somewhat overweight. As I believed that fairys were very small – say no more than six inches tall (15cm) and slim this encounter caused me slight confusion. As did the fact that it actually seemed to have some sort of magic wand. Communication went something along the lines of;
‘Are you a fairy?’ – ‘Yes I’m a fairy’ – ‘Eh!! – Are you sure?’ – ‘YES‘ ‘Aren’t you eh!! . . . too eh . . . big? . . for a fairy? . . . ‘ – ‘!$$??£‘ ‘ . . . and is that a magic wand? . . . . . ‘
I don’t think she was impressed with this exchange; she went a little sulky. So, a fat over sized fairy stretched my boundaries about fairies. She seemed to be lonely and wanted to keep to herself. I never asked if she could cast spells with her wand.
Confusing encounters with fairies continue
So, that was my first encounter a mite confusing and this unfortunately continued with the next encounter too . . . .
So, while at Bellingham in Northumberland on another walk I spotted a figure sitting in a similar looking tree (they do seem to have a preference for a tree that has an open branched area part way up to ‘lounge’ in). However as this Being was about four feet tall and male and wearing green (green!!) it was very definitely not impressed with my chat (Well I some how thought that faerys were only female and green was for pixies?).
‘Hey – are you a fairy?’ – ‘Yes’ ‘Well how come your wearing green like a pixie?’ – ‘!$$??£‘ ‘Hey . . . . Eh!! . . . are you male?’ ‘I thought fairies were only female?’ . . . . . . . ‘NO!!! – I AM A MALE FAIRY‘
Female and Male fae sightings
I could just imagine him thinking – don’t humans know anything – what is this guy on? At a certain point during my encounters I realized that what I was seeing, was only what they wanted me to see with respect to my understanding. I realized that different people would see the same Being differently and that what they saw would be representative of their own background, understanding and expectations.
So, with this in mind the next time that I was out in the woods and felt the presence of a fairy it was my wish to see this being as it
actually was rather than how it chose to presented itself to me. This was somewhere north of Rothbury outside a small place called Callaly if I recall correctly.
Seeing a Fairy as she REALLY is
The result was that I saw a large amorphous white cloud over a group of trees, this cloud is in reality what a fairy really is to a fairy – an intelligent energy form. As I tuned into a this cloud it coalesced and flowed down becoming more concentrated and eventually presented itself in front of me in the form of the fairy-tale fairy (much like the picture on the right). She was very beautiful and was quite amused with our encounter. I felt privileged to be in her presence, to see her as she really was and then to see her as she chooses to be recognized. It seems like my wish came true.
When you are accessing other realms to see or sense whatever is presented to you, there is always some feedback system at work. The beings you are accessing may have some ability to control their presentation; nature spirits do this.
For example the main nature spirit energy form Pan I have seen in two different forms and in one of he has so far presented himself between 2 meters tall and 30 meters.
The other factor is yourself, your past experiences and your engrained beliefs and ideas, these will ‘warp’ the interpretation of what you are presented with too.
What do fairies really look like
Well it follows from the above that it’s going to be very hard to be definitive. I have tried with the pictures above to edit and ‘play’ with them to more accurately depict the underlying energies. Some pictures that I really like because they present much more of the ‘flavour or taste’ of this realm follow;

Who believes in the fae and do they really exist?
There is a an attitude amongst dimensionally challenged scientists that people will simply ‘imagine’ or ‘create’ in their minds what they believe. This is a fairly obvious assumption from a group of people whose training in part is about staying distanced from personal experience, feeling, imagination and even intuition while striving to be ‘logical’ and ‘rational’ and ‘observant’.
This attitude and orientation actually prevents people from properly and deeply engaging with their own internal processes, feelings and landscape. If you fully engage with your internal states; your feeling states, mind states and processes, intuition, imagination, senses, dream states and spend time consciously in them then you will become familiar enough from repeated experiential ‘experience’ with your own internal workings to know their boundaries and limits and therefore have no problem telling the inner internal from the inner external (like I do).
I am sensitive enough to my feelings and emotions for example to know the differences between feelings arising spontaneously in this moment or whether they are ‘reactive’ feelings being provoked in response to a past trauma or block. I even know the subtle differences that tell me that a feeling originates not in this life’s but in a past life.
The above exchange with fairies confirms that what I ‘believed’ or more accurately what I knew about fairies did not result in my internal memory or ‘belief’ states confirming this.
What is belief? When is a belief a ‘belief’?
I have trouble with the ‘B’ word, in terms of how people define what is a ‘belief’. You could say that belief exists when ‘repeated’ experience is lacking. Repeated experience of seeing nature spirits, fairies for example takes a person out of the realm of belief and into something else.
In this respect I ‘believe’ in Centaur’s, because I myself have not seen one BUT I have heard of others whom have.
For me it’s highly likely that just about EVERYTHING that has been consigned to ‘myth’ or ‘legend’ relates to peoples experiences of getting in touch with other dimensional realities that are somehow intersecting with this one in other times when a ’stupid & superstitious’ rationality was less prevalent. As a species, humans are progressively disengaging from ‘feelings’ and subtle sensory states while barricading ourselves into a severely limited mind.
From the above I have to be adamant that I ‘DON’T’ believe in fairies, in the same way as I don’t have to ‘believe’ in the seat I’m sitting on now for me to sit on it. I have interacted with ‘fairies’ for quite a long time. Quite simply these ‘people’ exist, and they are some what much more friendly than many ‘rational’ types even when you bother them with stupid questions.
What to do NOW?
Some people coming here want to get in touch with Fairies themselves. I have a page HERE to help YOU connect with and encounter fairies or any nature spirits, so go there and read this and on that page is a link to another page to help you become more aware of these beings too.
Anyone want to make a fairy house? Then have a look at this page HERE. (this will open this site in a new window so you can still read what is here). On this fairy house page below the picture there is a link called ‘rules’ which takes you to a page of rules on making a fairy house. Also on the first page on the right click on the picture below where it says “How to build your own Fair House” for details of doing this or click HERE to get this page to open in a new window too. Have fun.
What is your ‘experience’?
In the mean time how many of you reading this have interesting tales of your own? Have you seen a fairy or another nature spirit type?If you have then tell us about it below! Don’t be shy?
. . . amazing tales of accessing other realities, dimensions and other worlds and what you may encounter there?
Hey, I’m 27 years old and have always beleived the world has lost alot of the ancient wisdom especially wrt spirits, fairies etc… I beleive they do exist and I long actually see one…Can anyone help?
check out the MD Exercises at the top and have a ‘play’?
Are you serious? Fairies do exist? I have always been intrigued by butterflies and fairies I would save butterflies when very small placing them on flowers to be safe always the love my house is decorated in butterflies and fairies. I guess my mother knew that I would love them she was Irish she named me Darlene Fay (darling fairy) Too funny! My friends say she knew I would grow up and look like tinker belle which is kind of amusing because I actually do. But it’s all good.
Hi again;
I live on a Tropical island in the Caribbean and I can recall stories, during my childhood, of hunters or even villagers seeing strange faun creatures or small “people” playing at the river banks etc.. These stories were extremly common.
Now 25 odd years later, these experiences are extremly rare and in my opinion non-existent… Is it that these beings have disappeared or have we lost the ability to discern them?
I must add that 25 years ago, villages were much more under-developed, streetlights were less common, children and families were alot more communal.
I look forward to your response.
Have a look back though the ‘fairy’ comments someone else left a comment that lived on an island and was saying similar things to yourself. Bottom line we are moving away from perceptual and sensory sensitivity and getting stuck in our head / thinking so called rational stances. I’e. less aware and further away from ourselves. (Just above on the left is a link ‘Older Comments’)
Thanks alot…. Are you saying that these creatures are still there like they always were and it’s jus that we aren’t able to perceive them? Do these creatures live and die like we do and are they restricted to jus natural environments? Sorry for all the questions but I’m extremly curious on the matter.
Thanks
They exist in other dimensions (not really this physical reality). Most nature spirit types will only be found in well looked after / preserved natural areas.
Dear Shane,
I’d love to know more about the strange faun creatures or small ‘people’ you’ mention. Do you have any sense of what these beings did?
Do you know anyone who has had an experience?
I’m interested because I grew up with a strong fairy culture in the North of England – it seems to be present wherever, there’s a strong connection with nature.
Best Maggie
Hi Maggie; It’s been ages since I’ve heard anyone mention any of these creatures, however as a child I can recall farmers and hunters speaking of small people playing at the river banks at night and making strange sounds..People would refer to them a “dwens” and were generally beleived to be evil; I’m not sure why though. It was claimed that these “dwens” were the souls of unsaved children who were left to wonder the earth.
In Addition many hunters would claim seeing a half man – half goat in deeply forested areas and was believed to be a protector. He was referd to as “papa Bois”. I must admit; alot of the people who shared these experiences with me have now deceased, alot of it still remains though sort of like and oral tradition.
In the cities and towns most children have no knowledge of these creatures or any of the “folklore”, however some of it still remains in the extremly rural communities.
It really saddens me that alot of people have lost their connection to nature and as a result are more empty and depressed than ever before. I hope I’ve been helpful
Shane…

Rashaun,
What a great experience. What kind of being was this fairy like do you think? Playful? Wanting to make contact? How did you feel after you’d seen her? Some people talk of fairies radiating with light – was this your experience?
Thanks for telling us about this. I’m interested because where I grew up as a little girl the old people talked about fairies all the time – not as make believe but as real beings. Tks Maggie Australia
i am really shy , do fairies like me ,will they want to be my friend?
Its my birthday today!!!!!Its been nearly 2 years ive been with this site!!!11 today!!!
Hi Jordan, hope you had a good day . . .
thx clive I did how was yours?
Hi
I love the way you said the faerie seemed overweight! People have preconceived ideas of faeries being tiny with wings.
The Victorians created some beautiful illustrations of faeries with wings, literature like J.M. Barrie’s Tinkerbell and the hoax Cottingley Faeries have fixed images in people’s minds.
However, like angels, they may manifest in an expected form.

I’m just wondering can anyone see fairies? I’ve read many beautiful storiers here and really envy those who have fairies as their friends. I’ve been to the woods many times without seeing one.
hey! you replied on my b-day!;]
(i just turned eleven:] )
Congratulations on your 11th Birthday, Cammy
If I had an experience with something or someone, the word beleive would not come into play, the word KNOW is the one I would use. The word beleive is a word you may use on the basis of “faith”, but KNOWING is a whole different matter. I would like to say at this point in my life, that I beleive in many things (like faeries) because I have not had an encounter with them yet, but I beleive they exist; but someday, I will transition from beleiving into KNOWING….
Hi Percy! I like what you say, because when I was a freshman in highschool(now 32), I never thought fairies at all. I believed little people existed as my father told me a story when he lived on a ranch and was woken up with a small man smaller then 2 feet tall sitting on his bed looking at him. My father thought he was dreaming and then when he realized he wasn’t he started to yell for his mother. The little guy, told him if he continued yelling he would have to go, but my father was so afraid he kept on yelling. My father when he told me the story even mimicked the little mans voice. Well my Grandmother ran into his room and when my father looked up then back at the place the little man was…. he was gone. My father has a masters degree and is a very practical person. That is the only thing he has ever told me that he is shy about. He said it really happened, but he doesn’t like to talk about it, because people think he is crazy.
Well back to when I was in highschool. My friends were drinking alcohol and I was having fun making them do yoga poses while they were drunk. I even got them to sit down and meditate with me for 5 mins. It was about 7:00 pm and the sun was going down. We went out into the street in front of our house to continue to do poses. Then I noticed it!!
There was this small extremely fast moving orange/yellow light moving around us, zig and zagging between us. In fact when I saw it I realized how easy it was to miss it. All of a sudden the little light moved quickly to the left, and my eyes followed it. Then it moved quickly to the right and my eyes followed it again. It kinda did this bob, and then rapidly flew down the street, leaving behind it a long trail of gold/orange light. The tail was about 10-12 feet long. It traveled about 5 houses distance, and then made a left turn about 6 feet off the ground. It was easily going 20-25 mph. When it made the left turn it left a bending streak of light, then it was gone.
I haven’t thought much of it, but recently I have been thinking more and more about it. This was the only time in my life where I have physically seen something that defies all that we humans believe to be true around us. This being of light did exist. It showed intelligence when it thought I had spotted it, and it reacted by fleeing once it knew it had been found out. I believe it was playing with us without us knowing.
My friends did not see it, but KNOWING and seeing… is such a leap from believing.
Was it a fairy? A pixie? I don’t know… but the irony is that when I think of Tinkerbell from Disney I wonder if the person who worked on her had seen a fairy or being of this type. It was so small, smaller then my finger tip, yet once I was able to focus on it, it was bright like a laser pointer. Imagine moving a laser pointer from right to left quickly… that is how fast your eyes need to move to follow it, at least what I saw. If you look away, or are not paying attention you will miss it, because it was simply to quick to focus on. I haven’t heard of anyone else experiencing or describing what I saw anywhere… perhaps someone will say something if they have heard of this before. This happened in a residential area, in Placentia California off of Larkspur Drive, in the middle of the length of the street. You could google it and see what the street looks like. LOL Anyways! Thats my story.
reply to my comment if you believe in fairies.:) you know i once saw a REAL fairy. it was in my friends fairy garden when i was helping her with it. i think it was a woodland fairy. she had long brown hair and wings that looked liked old crumpled brown leaves.well gotta go.:( and remember, reply!
love,
Camalicous
please don’t think im weird but, i beleive in mermaids to. i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!! SOOOOOOOOOO MUUUUUUUCH!!!
Have you seen mermaids too?
I have been fortunate enough to have been visited by a fairy. She was only about three inches tall, and was wearing a green dress. I was exhausted at the time of our encounter. She was almost touching my nose, very beautiful and she sprinkled green fairy dust on me.
Lucky you! Yes, you are very fortunate. But why where you exhausted?
