Learning How to See Fairies and Contact Them

If you want to learn how to see fairies the fastest way might be to catch them on film.

In July, 1917, Elsie took a photograph of her friend Frances with four fairies. Later Frances captured Elsie on film playing with a gnome. The two girls insisted that they could see fairies often down by the stream by the house and finally got tired of no one believing them, and so took the pictures as proof.

The photographs set off a whirlwind of controversy, with skeptics and believers alike not being able to refute the evidence. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself insisted that the pictures could not have been faked, and the girls gave interview upon interview regarding contacting faeries and their ability to see them.

Many years later, as grandmothers, the two girls admitted that they had faked the photographs to get back at adults who insisted that there were no such things as fairies, but continued to perpetuate such beings as Santa Claus. The fairies, they said, were designed after a book, and one of the girls abilities to draw learned as an art student. Remember, it was 1917 when this happened, and using a hat pin to secure paper fairies to the ground was a stroke of genius. Many years later, the controversy and confession was made into a movie; Fairy Tale, A True Story. And it is, by far, one of the best fairy tale stories ever told.

As far as how to see fairies in your own backyard, there are several ways. (Remember that the girls perpetuated the lie about the photographs only because they were tired of grown ups not believing that they actually could see the little creatures.)

Some of the best ways have been related to me through friends, some through research, and some from "Old Wives Tales." You'll have to see for yourself which method works best for you.

On midsummer's eve, go into the garden just after dawn when the dew is still wet and set out a sugar cube. Fairies love sugar and other sweets, and will come to dance in the buttercups. You must sit quietly and look past where the fairies come out. Traditionally, midsummer's eve is the only time that fairies can (or choose to) speak the human language, so if you want to talk to them, this time of the year is your best bet.

Any evening at dusk you may go into your garden and weed. The fairies like to live in the bottom of the garden where one does not typically weed, so turn slightly away from them. Garden fairies will come out to watch you and if you are quick you will see them.

Look through the eyes of a cat who is staring quietly into the long grass. Creep up and look through their ears and you'll see what they see. It’s easy to learn how to see faeries, you only need patience, sugar, persistence, and respect.

I live in Philippines, not in Manila but in a place where enchanted things could happen, I am in Bicol. Because we are in a rural land or area, it's impossible for us to relate our stories. Luckily, I am able to be going every weekend to our computer shop (family source of income) and can say what I feel and know. I haven't seen any thing but often I go to bed sleepy, and it feels like something is watching me. Sometimes, out of the corner of my eye, I see something dark or shiny then when I will look, there's nothing dark or shiny at the place I'm looking at. One time, I've was talking with my friends and shared experiences, I shared nothing because, I really had not yet experienced it, just blurred sights and weird feelings. One of my friends told of her experience back when she is 10 or 11. Her brother was 'possessed' by unknown 'things.' Their farm is far from home, so they would have to walk before reaching the place. I didn't mention that my place is composed of mountains. They have to climb. Until one day, weird things began to happen. Her brother was uttering and telling them events that didn't happen. In English, "There's a very cute lady in our farm, her dimples are very beautiful!" Or sometimes he would tell his best friend experiences that didn't happen. So, his best friend told my friend's mother about it, and their mother told him to just agree or say yes. One time, a woman came running up to their house and said,"I saw your son holding a very beautiful flower, where does it came from?" Is what the woman asked? She just came home from their farm. As days passed, worse things continued to happen. Every 6:00 in the afternoon on a Tuesday or Thursday only, her brother would feel something punching or hurting her brother. While eating, he would just moan painfully and touch his arm as if something had beaten it. It occurred every week. Sometimes, they would wake up midnight because they worried about her brother. One night when they touched him sleeping, his skin felt like a tree. It is our superstitious that when spirits are taking a human's body, they would exchange it with a tree trunk or banana leaves. I don't have much space here so I will summarize the story. Her brother would tell stories like, "The place was very beautiful mother, and the leader has one leg only, he's the master and every creature there does what he says." Mother, "I saw our cousin this morning, Arnold." He's a grown-up man already, but always sad and asked me to bring him home also, but the one-leg man won't let me." That cousin he's referring to died at the age of 4. So they were shocked. "I also see grandpa, he likes me to stay," he said one day. Also, their grandpa died years ago. They can't stand it any longer so they called for an 'albularyo'. Albularyo is a man who has abilities to heal, talk to ghosts or something like that. While reading he said "You have very less money. On our farm, the people there are so rich." There are many things that also happened after that. What are these creatures? Is the place my friend's brother is visiting only a part of his imagination, or is it just an illusion? Or, is there a place in Earth, which is beyond our world, or in the other dimension of this planet?
