Two years ago on a family holiday in Cornwall I thought, and i repeat I THOUGHT, a fairy. Sounds unreal I know. I didnt see a form of such, just something zip past me that was glowing. A glow worm? I hear your say, or a reflective light?, it probably was but they only thing that entered my head was that it was a fairy! I had forgot about it but I saw a fairy on the web and it made me think if anyone has had a similar experience to this? Or am i going mad?! :o :blush: :o

There have been 'fairy lights' sighted in the woods just off the Stocksbridge bypass.

that doesnt suprise me - there has been many many strange sightings near the bypass. have u been witness to any?

Can't say i've ever seen anything remotely like a fairy,apart from all the fools at x-mas/hen & stag getting dressed up.

WHAT EVER???

Haven't seen a fairy - not sure I would be too pleased to see one either - or they me.

Evil little creatures they are.

there are some little people milling around in the background of 'teachers' on C4.

little people have been around as long as people, and I am quite convinced people do see them. What causes that them to see fairies (eg, real fairies, mass hallucination, wishful thinking etc) is still a mystery to me, and is likely to remain so for some time.

the thing to consider with all things visual is that our eyesight is not much special, but our visual processing intelligence is amazingly good. Much of our ability to see so well relies upon memory of what things look like; When you see something (without actually looking at it if you see what i mean) you are seing a composite of memory and sensory as well as imaginary images.

Black plastic bags caught in trees are always birds until you actually look at them.

i do agree with you there. i have seen many black plastic bags and safeway bags and thought i had seen a crow or a pigeon. i have heard this opinion also about aliens, the common view of green little men with big eyes, something about having seen this symbol in society we unconsiously see this or something. GOD this is unreadable babble - but it is EARLY for a sunday - my eyes are still bleary and i'm guna go and eat my bacon sandwich and wake up. so i'll stop going on and talking poo. :blush: :o :lol: :blush: :? :P

there was an experimenter who stimulated a certain part of the brain in conscious men and women, and actually produced in them visions of almond eyed greys, and very strong feelings of numinousness and 'the other'.

Our sight is much more than a simple look & see tool, but we actually use your vision to imagine with, and interpret the world through that visual imagination

Hard as it is to accept, for me at least, I know the universe looks nothing like the way we see it.

Add to that the fact that your conscious self lags about half a second behind the unconscious self in terms of immediate decision making, and you could end up feeling a bit like a passenger/movie goer, doing what you're told, and being fed a visual confection in terms you can understand. If we could see everything clearly we would a)be god b)go mad c)make a fortune at the bookies.

all of this is much stranger than fairies IMO.

I believe (but don't know at all) that Carl Jung had quite a lot to say about psychoanalysis and the occult - it strikes me that cognitive neuroscience and neurochemistry might have something to say about the subject too.

Quite! :o

I understand sort of what you mean. Sometimes though its hard to explain what we mean and what things mean. Like this, I really should stop trying to explain what I mean because its hard. :? :o

Havent seen a fairy in years now you mention it, but used to play regularly with half a dozen that lived in the cracks of the school playground wall, under the hedge at the bottom of the yard, and one up the corner of the cricket pitch.
I used to come out at play time, go round and "collect" them up, chat with them a bit, and then blow them up into the air to find their way back to their little homes when the bell went.
Mind you that was 30 years ago, things were different then...

I was going to make a joke about the purity of hallucinogens being much higher then, but I don't think I'll bother :)

It was bad enough talking about the existence of God...

Anyway, I'm more into Leprechauns.

WintersMist do you believe in Boggards? and the Death Coach?
