Speaker 1: Did you ever wonder why In recent years, more and

more people seem to be disappearing from our national parks,

and at such a higher rate than ever before. While

many see these occurrences as unexplainable or seem to think

they have a reasonable, rational, or even scientific explanation for

it all, there are some of us who know better,

some of us who think otherwise. From UFO and bigfoot

sightings to the bizarre and unexplained missing four one one clusters,

many of us are left scratching our heads and wondering

what is going on out there in the woods. While

there are many folk tales and legends into who or

what is lurking out there in the woods and forests

all around the world, today we're going to focus on

one legend in particular, the legend of the fay or

fairy people. Will most people seem to think of them

as helpful, beautiful, and sparkling, if not a little bit

mischief when thinking of fairies, there are others who have

heard the real legends, the real terrifying and strange encounters

with these mystical beings in the woods, and have had

our visions of them forever changed because of it. Let's

take a walk through the deepest, darkest parts of the

forest and explain the shockingly terrifying world of the fay.

Could they be the real reason all these hikers and

hunters and professionals, children and animals too have gone missing

at such an alarming rate all over the world. It's

up to you to decide. Wherever you travel in the world,

there's some kind of fairy legend. They differ from place

to place, and quite unusually, there seems to be no

single point of origin from where they came from or

where the story started. In many cultures, it's believed that

these tiny beings are actually demoted angels, even demons, who

lurk and hide in the woods and forest, ready to

snatch unsuspecting victims out of our known place and time,

dragging them to who knows where. There's also a strong

belief for the need to ward them off using charms

of protection, usually worn somewhere on the body. If you

ever run into one of these beings, be sure not

to mention it by name. More commonly, they are referred

to as the little people or the hidden people, so

as not to some of them unknowingly so the people

who believe this legend of the fairies or the Faye

being fallen, whether angel or otherwise, believe they are neither

good enough for heaven nor bad enough for hell below.

They can appear and disappear at will, which makes it

very easy for them to stalk and sneak up on

their target. In nineteen sixty two, in southern England, a

farmer's wife reported getting lost in a very area of

wilderness known to this day as the Berkshire Downs. She

recalls how she didn't even realize she was losing her

way and became very panicked and confused all of a sudden.

She claims to have never switched course and headed the

entire time in the same and correct direction towards where

she originally intended to go. What she realized later on, though,

was that she was actually moving further and further into

more remote and desolate parts of the woods, away from

any other form of civilization. Eventually, she got very tired

and stopped for a few minutes. This is when she

heard a sort of murmuring or mumbling coming from somewhere

near her, although exactly where she couldn't be sure, as

even though it was a clear and sunny day, she

couldn't see anyone or anything to accompany the strange voice. Suddenly,

as she sat there, confused and trying to find the

soord of the small boys she thought she was hearing,

a little person stepped out of the shadows of the

woods and directly into her path. The bizarre thing here, though,

the figure, she describes as most likely male and dressed

all in green, appeared behind her, though somehow, she claims

she could see him and knew for a fact he

was there. Without saying a word, the little man turned

her around and pointed her to the right path back

to her home. The figure then disappeared without a trace,

right before her eyes, and it was only while talking

to her husband later on and recounting her bizarre and

seemingly stressed induced experience, did she realize that she had

encountered one of the fae. Lucky for her, this was

one of the helpful ones, and not the more commonly

known ones who purposely lure unsuspecting wonders off their track

and bring them to places unknown where they will never

be able to find their way back. In Celtic lore,

the fae or little people are said to live underground

and any travelers either knowingly or unknowingly trespassed two near

these hidden places are said to go missing and are

never seen or heard from again. Many people who have

had an encounter have reported to being in a place

they had never seen or knew existed before, seemingly in

the blink of an eye, with no knowledge or recollection

of how they got there. Although this seemingly new place

was definitely not where they were just a second ago,

it still looked enough like where they had just been

to make them question their own sanity. These places are

familiar yet unfamiliar, simply giving one an instinctial feeling that

they are somewhere other. When they finally and seemingly just

as suddenly returned to where they had left from, always

much more time has passed than they had anticipated, with

what seemed to be like mere minutes had actually been

hours or even days in some cases. Now let's go

to the United States and explore the early Native American

legends of Mount Shasta. There were many complaints of even

the earliest Native settlers on and near this particular mountain,

of members of their tribe, specifically their hunting parties, who

had vanished without a trace, never to be seen or

heard from again. This happened so often, in fact, they

started to believe the whole area was cursed. They also

spoke of a bright stone which traversed the mountain and

seemingly swallowed people whole. They were convinced that this stone

had something to do with the fairies. Do you believe

this area could be cursed? What was this glowing stone?

Do you believe that stone has ability to open up,

swallow someone and close back? Or do you believe this

was just a scary story to tell their children in

the hopes of keeping them from wandering too far on

the mountain alone. On the other side of the world,

in northern Sweden, there's a man who, for the sake

of this video, and out of respect for his desire

to remain anonymous, we'll call Joe. Throughout his childhood, Joe

would go to his grandparents' house in a deeply wooded

area with lots of trees and trails for a young

boy to explore. When he was ten years old, he

and his family went to stay at his grandparent's house

for the entire summer. Aside from the one main house,

there were several smaller cabins on the property which his

grandparents owned, and his family would stay together in these

series of cabins for the entirety of their summer vacation.

Joe stayed with a group of his cousins in a

cabin that was a little less than one hundred feet

away from his grandparents main house. It was extremely desolate

land and the closest town was miles and miles away.

There was also a lake on the property, and Joe

and his cousin's cabin was the closest one to it

as well. There's electricity, but no running water, and the

family had to collect their own as going to the

nearest town to buy some was a reasonable option as

it would have taken so long for them to get

there and return. While the lake was directly in front

of Joe's cabin, behind it were very deep, very dark,

and very desolate woods. Joe's grandfather would tell many stories

to the family about alleged encounters he had while in

those woods, encounters which he didn't know how to explain,

as there seemed to be no known words to describe

what he was seeing and or experiencing. Joe himself said

whenever he was hiking or just wandering around these woods,

he always got this sort of creepy and eery feeling

which he could never shake nor never explain. On numerous occasions,

Joe reported seeing little people who would appear and then

vanish just as quickly and seemingly without a trace. He

claims that when these little people would cross the dirt path,

anyone nearby would freeze in place until they had gone. Now,

when his cousin heard Joe telling other family members these

experiences he was having, he decided that on the next

hike he took with Joe, he would bring it up

to joke and possibly tease him about. Obviously he wasn't

a believer. The cousin laughed and pretended to freeze in

place while telling Joe it seemed he had come across

one of the little people's trails. The boy's grandfather, however,

wasn't very happy about this joke and reprimanded the other

boy not to ever joke about the little people, especially

not while wandering in the woods. The subject was eventually

dropped and they all went home to their respective cabins

to retire for the night. In the middle of the night, however,

Joe recalls being awakened by some sort of noise outside

the cabin. The noise seemed to be coming from everywhere,

it once all around the cabin instead of just one

singular place. He likened the noise to bear scratching at

the outside of the cabin. It also sounded simultaneously like

pebbles or giant raindrops, or falling down onto the roof

and running down the side of the cabin. Suddenly, the

scratching sounds seemed to be coming from under Joe and

his cousin's beds. They were frozen in fear, frozen in place,

if you will, with terror from the sound coming from

right under where they were each respectably sitting. Eventually, they

summoned the courage to get up and run as fast

as they could to their grandparents' cabin to tell them

what was going on. The Next day, the two boys

and their grandfather walked the same path in the woods

as the day before where their cousin had made the

insult towards the little people, and they scattered handy all

around and along the trails. As they did this, they

profusely apologized for offending whatever it was in those woods

that day, and night, Joe thinks it was definitely the

little people who had come to teach him and his

cousin a lesson on matters and respect. Back in the

United States, in March of eighteen eighty six, an Ohio

newspaper article in the Bloomington Daily Leader came out involving

a man and his daughter. This incident took place years

before the article had come out, and the daughter's name

is still unknown. While the man's name is Andy, we

will call his daughter Sarah for the purpose of this story.

Andy and Sarah were living in Dubuque County at the time.

According to Andy, in her early teen years, his daughter

started becoming sickly and ill all the time, and none

of the doctors who examined her treated her seemed to

be of any help. Whatever the illness was, it always

seemed to return almost as quick as it would leave.

Because none of the physicians seemed to be able to

figure out what was ailing her or how to cure it,

Andy decided to take his daughter to a monastery and

see a man named Father Bernard. Father Bernard was very

well respected and considered very wise throughout the community, and

upon hearing about Sarah's unexplainable illness, agreed to pray with

the young girl. During one of their walks home from

praying with Father Bernard, Sarah allegedly turned her father and

told him that it was all useless, that everything Father

Bernard was doing wasn't going to help her, and eventually

she would be taken by the fae. Andy didn't pay

attention at the time and thought his daughter was just

feeling discouraged as she had been sick for so long.

About a year after she said this to him about

the fairies, Sarah went missing. She seemed to have left

everything behind and disappeared with only the clothes on her back.

Searchers all most immediately dragged the creeks in the area

and conducted foot searches deep into the neighboring woods for

miles and miles, but no one ever found a single

trace of Sarah. Because of the lack of any sign

of her or evidence as to where she had gone,

the locals and law enforcement set their sights on Andy

as the comfort who had done something to his own daughter. However, luckily,

before any charges were pressed against him, Sarah returned the

story she told as to what happened to her was

unbelievable to most, and it's for you to decide now

if you believe it or not. Sarah claimed that she

had simply been traveling the country with the fairies the

entire time she was gone. She recounted being in strange

vehicles invisible to the naked eye. The third day of

her return, Sarah informed everyone that the Fee would soon

be back for her and she would have to leave

again with him. Indubitably, she left again not long after

and was never seen or heard from again. The newspaper

reported that Andy never changed his story about what had

happened to his daughter, and when asked what he believed,

he responded with the tales of the fairies from Ireland. Now,

if you're thinking all of this talk of real fairies

and the fayfolk has started, perhaps with the modern day

versions of fairy tales and people letting their imagination run wild,

then maybe think again. Here's another story that takes place

all the way back in the sixteenth century. This is

an account of what allegedly happened to a woman named

Anne Jeffries. Anne was born in sixteen twenty six and

passed away in sixteen ninety eight. There was a wealthy

neighboring family named the Pitts, who employed Anne as a

domestic servant and were able and willing to verify all

of Anne's accounts and claimed witness to some as well. Now,

let's travel back in time and hear the remarkable stories

of Anne's encounters. Now, the documentation of these encounters came

from a man named Moses Pitt, who wrote it all

down and sent it to one reverend, doctor Edward Fowler,

who was the Bishop of Gloucester at the time of

the strange occurrences. Moses was seeking the reverends advice on

the matter. Let's hear what he has to say. In

sixteen forty five, when Anne was just nineteen years old,

just when the unusual experiences are said to have started,

answered her a job as a domestic servant for the

wealthy Pitt family and started working in their home. While

it's unclear exactly how long she'd been working for them

at the time of this first encounter, we know it

wasn't very long after she started. One morning, after Anne

had finished up all her household chores, she went outside

and sat in the garden of the huge estate home

and claims that while sitting there silently, taking in the

nice weather and relaxing on the comfortable arbor there in

the backyard of that home, she heard someone or something

in the woods very close to her. She said, it

sounded like someone was walking very lightly towards her. She

first thought maybe it was one of the family members,

or maybe just a visitor to the home. She quickly

disregarded this thought, however, when she began to hear strange

ringing sounds seemingly coming from every direction around her all

at once. Although scared, Anne recalled that the day was

so bright and beautiful. She also felt as though nothing

could harm her. Also, she reasoned there were people all

around her in the front of the house and inside

as well, many witnesses, if you will. While the ringing

was still going on very loudly, and while Anne was

trying to get her bearings, six small men dressed all

in green suddenly appeared out of nowhere from the bright

and sunny woods nearby. She described them as cute and

charming looking, with big eyes and tiny little legs. She

later started referring to them as fairies. Now there's no

information as to what made her use this particular title

for a description or what made her think this is

what these little men in green wore. Anne also claimed

that upon laying her eyes on the men, she had

become paralyzed or frozen in place, and after a minute

or two she noticed a slight change in her environment

before it changed altogether, and she saw the little men

had brought her to what she called a castle in

the sky. It is here where Anne claimed that these

men had relations with her. The family verified that Dan

did in fact go missing for that entire day, and

though they searched far and wide, they never could locate her.

Anne reappeared on her own, though groggy, laying disheveled and

in the fetal position on the lawn in the front yard.

Anne kept quiet about her encounter for fear of being

called insane or possibly even losing her job. However, she

started speaking out and telling people her tale when she

claims the little men or fairies started to return to

her her on occasion. This became her torment and she

started opening up to one member of the Pitt family

about her ordeal. Unfortunately for Anne, she placed her trust

in the wrong family member, because shortly after confessing what

was troubling her, recounting her tale of little men dressed

in green doing those things to her, and a castle

in the sky. This person reported her to the local authorities,

and in short order Anne was arrested and charged with witchcraft.

She was even sent to jail for it. A piece

of mail written by the mayor of this small town

where all this is said to have occurred, has been

kept and preserved throughout history and can now be found

in the Clarendon Manuscript's archives. This document not only contains

verification that Anne was held for quite some time in

the jail, there's also a small portion that seems to

back up her claim that the little men were in

fact still coming to visit. It states how despite being

starved for several months, and never got sick, and did

ever seem to be starving or even hungry, as though

someone were bringing her food regularly, and herself later confirmed

this suspicion by telling Moses Pett how the fairies did

in fact feed her by bringing her unusual bread. However,

the explanation as to what exactly she meant by unusual

bread is either lost in time or never was. Obviously,

this could have been very helpful to proving her innocence

of not practicing witchcraft, especially back in the late sixteen hundreds.

For whatever reason, Anne was eventually released from prison and

the charges against her were dropped. She moved on with

her life and eventually married a labor named William Warren.

She would later state, when pursuing a new career in nursing,

that she wasn't sure how or why it had happened,

why they had chosen her. That the fairies had given

her a wealth of knowledge in the medical and nursing fields,

and she wanted desperately to use it to help others,

and she eventually did become an In sixteen ninety three,

Moses Pitt, who had remained friends with Anne though after

she was accused in jail for witchcraft, he did so

in secret, decided to send a journalist's friend of his name,

Humphrey Martin, to interview Anne about all of her strange

encounters and dealings with these little men dressed all in green. However,

at that point Anne didn't want to talk about it

anymore for fear of what might happen to her if

Ward got out again. She was quite comfortable and happy

in her married life to William and her nursing career

and didn't care to revisit the alleged torment she went

through not only in jail, but in the sky Castle.

Humphrey Martin wrote to Moses Pitt in response, saying, as

for Anne Jeffreys, I've been with her the greater part

of one day and did read to her all that

you wrote to me. But she would not own anything

of it as concerning the fairies or any of the

cures that she could perform. I asked of the reason

why she would not do it. She replied that if

she would discover it to you, that you would make

books and ballads of it. And she said that she

would not have her name spread about the country in

books and ballads of such things. Now, at the time

all this was happening with Anne, in the mid to

late seventeenth century, the belief in fairies was very widespread

and actually quite common, though almost always kept in secret

for fear of being jailed and labeled a witch. Like Anne,

there were many reports of similar things happening to many

different people all over the world. These Castle and the

Sky encounters were the most common. While this is almost

always related to a totally different type of abduction nowadays,

it was always related to the faith. Then continuing, I

think it would be completely remissiless to be speaking of

the fairies and not mention the origin of fairy tales.

Now According to Wikipedia, the oral tradition of the fairy

tale came along before the written page. Tales were told, retold,

and enacted dramatically, whether about fairies or not. These tales

were then told and passed down from generation to generation.

Mystical and magical happenings and beings seem to be more

part of the fairy tale itself than actual fairies being

included in such stories. The first written collections, which attempt

to preserve not only the theme and characters told in

such tales, were by the brothers Grim While they had

to later rewrite all the tales to make them more

acceptable and also more profitable due to the original content

having mostly sexual overtones and not being child friendly at all.

Any kind of talking animal, grotesque, goblin, troll, beast, or

monster can be considered a fairy tale. Also, tales of

warning meant to keep young children in line by telling

of strange and horrible and unfortunate things that have allegedly

happened to other children who, for instance, didn't eat their

vegetables or clean their rooms, those kids who didn't brush

their teeth and told life, there's always a lesson to

be learned in these tales. Take them for what they're

worth to you. While this is just the beginning of

the vast information about a few different tales and legends

of fairies, we've only begun to scratch the surface. Now

I'll leave you with some lesser known information that may

be helpful should you ever encounter one, or maybe even

a few, of these little people. Know that while the

above stories seem to show a more benevolent side to

these fairy legends, which in modern times have been disneyfied,

they are often known to be much more evil and

complicated depend down from one country to another. In real life, however,

most state that these creatures are master manipulators, and should

you come across them, never, under any circumstances enter into

any kind of deal or arrangement with them. Again, they

are considered to be master manipulators and also masters of

language and find loopholes and use linguistic trickery to fool

you into dealing with them. For you to only too

late realize you don't stand a chance at getting what

you want or supposed to get, and yet the fae

get everything they're supposed to out of the deal. They

will always benefit, mostly at the detriment of the other person.

As they say in Vegas, the house always wins. Here

are a few rules of engagement when it comes to

these mystical beings. Never insult them and always be polite.

Try your very best not to anger them, as this

is how most people end up disappearing. If you ever

get the feeling you're being watched by something invisible, or

get a sudden feeling you're not supposed to be where

you are, turn around and leave immediately. Now they do

love presence and gifts, howe or choose what you leave

for them very carefully, as if whatever it is isn't sweet,

your positive gesture can quickly turn into a negative experience.

Think hard candy or other sugary sweet. Also, never use

the words thank you or I'm sorry. For some reason,

it is only acceptable to state pardon me. And I

appreciate that. The fairies have been known to sometimes speak

in riddles, and there's almost always some kind of hidden

meaning underneath. What they're saying, so pay close attention and

listen carefully. For instance, as one comment or on another

video pointed out, I'm sorry amidst fault. While pardon me

simply ask for forgiveness. Also, thank you will put you

in their debt, whereas I appreciate that simply expresses gratitude.

And what do you think of all these encounters? Every

culture since time immemorial has had these stories of the

fay or the fairy folk, including the Native Americans in

Appalachia where I'm from. Do you believe these people exist?

Do you believe that they are or who cause people

to disappear in the woods and forests and never to return.

It seems lately that with all the craziness happening in

the world, it's becoming easier and easier to forget about

all the things that could be even worse going on

in the world around us that we can't see. Seems

like every time we turn on the television there's just

more and more destruction and chaos, and it gets me wondering,

is this what they want? Is this all a very

carefully carried out plan to take the focus away from

the world to the unknown, to make sure we don't

get too close to figure out the truth about what

really goes on behind the scenes, the things the powerful,

elite and possible government entities who we are indoctrinated to

trust since the time we learn to talk don't want

us to see what is it they're trying to distract

us from. Well, what we're going to focus on today

is continuation and the bizarre disappearances in the woods. After all,

the families of the missing can ever be distracted or

distracted into forgetting that their loved one was here one

minute and gone the next. In researching the fae and

the connection with those who vanish, I have a feeling

inside that I came so very close to touching on

something to lifting, or at least thinning out the veil

that separates the actual truth from the reality we're taught

to believe. After all, if you're subscribed to this channel

and interested in this title, it stands to reason that

you too are wondering what exactly is lurking in the woods.

In the deep dark parts of the world's forest and

national parks, Something is snatching and stalking helpless humans seemingly

right out of existence. Come and take another walk with me, folks,

as I explore the deepest depths of not only the

reality we see right in front of us, but perhaps

the hidden worlds are the unknown in the deepest, darkest

depths of our very minds. But be careful. Don't be

the first to last in line. Don't go near the

boulder fields, don't pick berries, don't wear red, and don't

insult that which you're unfamiliar with. And please, whatever you do,

don't turn the corner and separate from the group. Here's

part two of the Missing and the Fae. Before we begin,

let's all try and get the images out of our

head of the fairies fayfolk that we were taught about

as small children, the tiny, sparkly and happy, always trying

to help in devastatingly beautiful creatures who flutter around us wildly,

sometimes sprinkling us with sparkly fairy dust to help us

to sleep. Well, maybe something like that, as far as

the fairy does is concerned. But I'm convinced that there's

something much more sinister afoot that these very small, usually

ornery and not so helpful, used confuse and put humans

to sleep so they can steal them away, take them

from the here that is known, to there which is unknown,

or the other. If only it were simple and cutesy

and fun as a little sprinkle of glittery dust, and

all our troubles go away. In reality, however, it's more

like sudden confusion, which causes underlining panic, as the hapless

victims of these clever little tricksters, in the blink of

an eye, find themselves completely lost, completely turned around, dazed

and confused as to what just happened and where they are.

Sometimes days are lost, sometimes more, and sometimes the victim

is gone, forever, lost to whatever game the fairies decided

to make them a part of imagine, completely helpless, alone

and afraid, screaming at the top of their lungs, only

to find that they have no voice. Now, these little

people are not always so little. While the majority of

them are said to be under four feet tall, most

even shorter, some have been said to be as tall

as seven feet. Just like humans, the way they look

varies drastically from one to the other, with all having

different facial features and personalities. Let's talk about some similarities

between what's going on in the woods with all the

clusters and missing people all over the world and what

we know about the fae. First off, boulder fields and

circles of stones in particular should never be disturbed. This

is where they live and play, and you do not

want to disturb their home or resting place. They don't

take kindly to anything they see disrespectful and as seemingly

very sensitive little creatures. That's most anything they don't give

you permission to say or do. Do not even approach

such places unless you're prepared for the faith that lay

ahead of you should you dare. After all, how could

you be granted permission to do anything by entities in

which you can't see with your human eyes unless they

should choose to lie you to look upon them, which

they most often do not give. If they ever should

grant you this permission to gaze upon them, be wary,

for they almost always have something up their sleeves. If

you do not come prepared with gifts of sweets, alcohol,

and or tobacco, do not expect a very generous welcome.

In fact, if you do not bring such gifts, I

suggest stay away all together, as this will anger them,

and they carry such great wrath for being so very

tiny in size. For the most part, there seems to

also be an inordinate amount of people who go missing

near berry bushes. You may be struck with an unexplained

need to go and fill several baskets with juicy, plump

black or huckle or red or blueberries. There are too

many kinds to name out there in the wild. We

see all the time in movies about survival in the

deep woods and forests that you should always beware of

eating the berries to stay alive where they might just

be poisonous. And ironically, the very thing that kills you off. However,

who do you think is poisoned the berries? Struggle with

a sudden and irresistible impulse to go and gather the

fresh fruit, you're most likely lured by the fae to

your doom. They like to play, after all, and among

the bushes and brambles of the berry patches is where

they are known to do their dancing and mating. This

is where they embrace the earth and sing with all

their heart, sometimes fully visible and most of the time

at least audible to humans were unfortunate enough to be

in the general vicinity of them. If you should catch

a glimpse of a dance or even a whisper of

a tune turn back, but they do not like to

be disturbed again. They only like to be seen and

heard if they choose it. If their choice should be

taken away, then there will be consequences. Could this be

the fate of so many who have disappeared among a

berry patch in recent years? My advice go to your

local grossest produce section. They may not be as fresh

as fresh picked, but hey, at least you won't be

lost forever in the produce. Atile fairies are known for

more when it comes to disappearing things than taking humans

and putting them somewhere else, either for a little while

or for the rest of their days. If you aren't

extremely careful in which paths you take and follow while

out in the woods, you could just happen upon a

fairy procession. They mostly take part in this activity by

the light of the full moon, and should you stumble

upon it, you just may be allowed to escape back

to your home and your family and all that is

loved by you, only to lose your mind within days,

as the fay have powerful magic. Just to look into

their eyes and your senses can be lost forever, with

your physical body being wherever you are. While your mind

is viewing their lives through their eyes only, you cannot

decipher the difference. Should a fairy dressed in red approach

and slap you about the body, surely you will die.

Will be unto anyone who tries to remove you from

their grasp even after death. Once a fairy claims you

you are rightfully theirs, at least as far as they're concerned.

A person looking to investigate the effect that fay have

on or what part they play in the world of

the missing, has a lot to do with which cultures, legends,

and lawy you're looking into. In order to understand the

way these little people work, you must know how things

are done where they are from. And I don't just

mean learning to avoid defending them, or which treats to

leave in case you should find yourself in their bad graces.

Let's explore the world a little bit and see where

these legends may have come from and what connection they

could possibly have to all these cases of the missing

popping up more and more frequently in today's news in Ireland.

There are many theories of origin for these devilish creatures.

We spoke in Part one about the belief that their

fallen angels or demons, or even the deceased that were

unfortunately not good enough for heaven or bad enough for hell.

There's another legend, however, one seemingly as old as time,

which states that the fair are certain children of Eve.

According to this Celtic myth, when Eve was in the garden,

after having tasted the forbidden fruit and learning she was naked,

she hastily decided she must wash her children so they

will be presentable in the sight of the Lord. When

he returned, well before she could wash them all, as

there were many, she heard him fast approaching, she took

all the children that were left and had not been

bathed and hid them underground. Because she and Adam, and

presumably in this tale, all of their children as well,

were then thrown out of and banned forever from the

Garden of Eden because of the disobedience involving the fruit.

Due to the trickery of the evil serpent, the unwashed

children ended up being left behind, left underground to find

and make their own way. Obviously, leaving children to live

in their own underground world with no adult supervision, ever,

could never lead to anything good. Hence, how the civilization

was built. This fable differs a bit from time to time,

with one of the ways it's told being God was

simply angry and general for Eve not being able to

keep all of her children constantly clean, and he took

it as a sign of disrespect, as the children were

constantly in his sight and presence very dirty. Therefore, during

one of these times, when He had come upon the

children and most of them were unwashed, he was so

angry that he took all who weren't clean and banished

them to live underground, never being able to come up

for a thousand years. This punishment would ensure that he

would never see them again and therefore be more diligent

in making her children presentable in the sight of the Lord.

Either way, it seems, the children were then left underground

to their own devices and for themselves, eventually cultivating and

growing this community of little people who are seemingly childlike

but who keep ancient and dark magic within them. They

hold the secrets to this magic very tightly and use

it only when there's no other choice, like, for example,

if someone should disrespect them or their territory. As previously mentioned,

another theory of the Emerald Isle is that the Fay

are an ancient race that preceded even the Celts in

inhabiting the land we now know as Ireland. In England

as well, the Celts then came in and drove the

little creatures out of the land by destroying their civilizations

and viciously slaughtering these little people, forcing those that survive

to go underground and take part in a one sided

revenge war for the rest of time. This is why

sometimes it's said that the Fee have a deep rooted

hatred for human beings, even though most modern day legends

and Lord leave that part out, claiming simply that they

are mischievous and mostly harmless. No matter what you believe

or which country's legends the Lord you choose to set

store by, they possess this ancient magic which no other

human or creature possesses, and also which no one and

nothing else can replicate. The last Irish legend we're going

to discuss today is one that is most widely accepted

as being the possible reason for the connection between the

Fay and the Missing four one one phenomena, though we

will only touch on the surface of it here. This

legend says that the Fair actually some form of interdimensional

beings whose universe are somehow bumped up against or intertwined

with ours. This makes sense for why sometimes we can

see them and then in the blink of an eye,

they're gone. It could also explain why once you've been

selected and taken by them, you are never seen again.

What is underground to us may be for them their

very universe, their world. In fact, they may not even

really be going underground at all, only seeming to, as

this is the way they return to their own place

and time. Modern day scientists are constantly exploring theories as

to whether or not these types of things, such as

other dimensions and the ability to travel too and from them,

are possible, and the general belief is that in fact

they do exist, and while we may not have the

knowledge of how to travel back and forth, either within

dimensions or through time, that doesn't mean that nobody or

no thing in all the universe doesn't. In fact, from

what these scientists believe they know now in the present moment,

is that we as a species are very far behind

most other dimensions and species out there, of which there

are an almost infinite number. When it comes to themes

such as these and also understanding quantum law and all

that other scientific stuff, which if maybe we could collectively

understand and break it down, who knows, maybe we can

recover a lot of our people who seemingly vanished without

a trace. After all, If all this really turns out

to be true, then it means they w vanished from

our sight, from our plane of existence, and not necessarily

that they've vanished forever without a trace anywhere. Now, let's

get back to our world travels and see what some

other countries have to say about where the Fay and

the seemingly endless amounts of legends regarding them could have

come from. In ancient times, it was well known that

fairies actually cared more about humanity and what happened to

human beings than most humans themselves did. This is especially

true for human peasants. They are known throughout the world

to have cultivated a wonderful relationship with the Faye, and

even work to serve the fairy Queen, as she and

her minions cared more about and certainly helped them more

than any nobility which was in power. In fact, fairies

back in those days before being driven underground, were just

as likely to live in the house in the villages

right along with the humans, sometimes without the human's knowledge,

but most times with not only their knowledge but also

their blessing. They were known far and wide among the

poorer classes and peasants as an ally and its helpful

little people who could use enchantment to keep certain towns, villages,

or even individual houses where they were welcome and accepted

safe from the ravages of the many wars back then,

and also from so many other deadly things someone from

those times would have come across on a daily basis.

The fairies helped make medicines with their magic to keep

the villages from becoming sick with one pandemic or another,

and sometimes they would even return a child from death if,

of course, the price was right, although there was always

too large a consequence for both the humans and the

fairies involved, so this was not often done. They were

even known to make entire villages invisible to keep them

safe from an approaching torch mob or an angry army.

Remember how long ago this all was, though, and police

don't give it much thought. Should you ever encounter fairy

or were there many dwelling places, though we are not

entirely sure why this relationship has changed so drastically throughout

the ages. We can be quite sure that it has,

and that's really all we need to know. It said

that humans have simply moved on and forgot how we

were helped by the fae, forgot how essentral they once

were to survival of our very species. And because of this,

some of the fate now seek revenge, unwilling to be

used and then tossed aside when no longer needed like

some kind of old rag. The disrespect they feel for

and the disdain they have towards the human race, at

least in some fairy cultures, and yes, they have different cultures,

which hold different beliefs and act in different ways as well.

Some choose to exist on the edges of our vision,

wanting nothing but peace and to just keep out of

the way of humans altogether. Then there are the other kinds,

the kind in which we will discuss right now. Keep

in mind always that, regardless of how their feelings toward

humanity have either evolved or devolved throughout the centuries, all

the faithfolk are known to be either a bit or

almost completely devilish in nature. It's something they cant help

even if they should want to. They can be extremely

benign or extremely dangerous, with the latter being a kind

of vampires, literally sucking the life force out of any

human it should encounter, and using the ancient magic in

its being to disappear any of the evidence, perhaps back

to its own dimension. Let's move on to discussing the

many different types of encounters one could possibly have with

the fae. The first type would be the testing of

morality encounters. If there's one thing almost all the legends

about them have in common, is that they are in

forces of morality, which is why they live so much

by the code of mutual respect. They will often appear

to test a person's generosity and kindness. And when I

think about missing four one one, I think of the

young children who go missing without a trace, and wonder,

after exploring this type of encounter deeper, if the fae

know the difference between the mind of an adult and

the mind of a human child. Keep this question as

we move forward, Keep the encounters that are known to

be had and the types of people who go missing

in mind, and see if you can't figure out possibly

which encounter each group of missing may have had to experience.

In order to fail the test and end up missing

in this world or in this plane of existence forever.

If we assume the missing haven't come across the type

of enchanting fairy who will use their powers in magic

of enchantment to seduce you simply to drain your life,

force your blood to gain their strength, you may encounter

the type mentioned above. During such encounters, the fairy will

often disguise itself as a beggar or some other person

who is in desperate need of something you possess. Those

who help out and are kind and generous will receive blessings,

for example being let out of the woods if one

should be lost. But if you are unkind and not

help at all, and perhaps even show some disdain toward

the pathetic fellow whose formant has chosen, then we'll be

under you. You will face dire consequences, sometimes even the

loss of your very life. Perhaps even worse. You might

be led to be invisible to the human eye and

left to wonder about circling the same part of the

forest again and again in some kind of enchantment where

there is never a way out. Perhaps there you'll be

for all eternity with your loved ones, or even the

authorities right within your reach, only you will forever be

unable to grasp them. The fate were known to bury

entire villages in avalanches or drown them in floods because

of just one bad encounter with just one unsympathetic human

who very well could have just been having a bad day.

The second type of encounter one might have is when

a fairy chooses you to help them carry out some

kind of work they need to do. Should you accept

and help the fae again, you will receive some form

of blessing, although you quite possibly won't have any memory

of the encounter or the work in which you help

them carry out. However, if you should refuse, you could

very well be driven into madness, a madness so deep

you will never come out of it, a madness that

some might say is worse than even death itself. Keep

in mind, always, despite the intention of the little person

you encounter, they have a spitefulness in mean streak deeply

ingrained into them, especially when it comes to the human

race who so callously abandon them. Once they were released

from the throes of poverty and destitution of ancient times.

In this modern world. To most, they are nothing more

than fairy tale creatures, and obviously this offends them greatly.

Some cultures even to this day, believe that this is

where mental illness comes in. Remember how we established the

faye used to live side by side in the same

home as humans, and some of them still choose to

visit a home from time to time. In fact, some

hauntings can even be possibly attributed simply to an offended

little person. The fay will sit invisible on the shoulder

of the person deemed mad and torment them day and

night without rest or sleep, essentially driving them to their

early graves. Always make sure to return a favor given

to you by a fairy. They will sometimes show up

to offer help when it's most needed. At some point

in a human's life, perhaps while grieving the loss of

a loved one or while in some kind of health crisis.

The little person will use the ancient magic in them

to heal the person or provide a deep sense of

peace and comfort. They do these things for the most

part without asking for permission, so technically you accept without

knowing it. Then you are forever indebted to the faith

and all the bad luck and misfortune will find you

should you not repay these favors immediately when called upon

to do so. As we already discussed, there are many

different types of faithfolk, just as human beings. Some are

inherently helpful and kind, while some are infinitely evil and

downright deadly. The latter type are known to target specific humans,

usually for the smell of their blood is appealing to

the devilish fiend, or for some other type of reason

we have neither way of knowing nor controlling. This type

will seek a person out simply to drink its blood,

torment it, or And here's where the mind might wander to.

The missing take the human as an eternal slave, after all,

just because they are much more diminutive in size than

us humans, Remember how strong their magic is. We as

a species seem to have lost most, if not all,

of our ancient magic, and therefore the fay are much

more powerful in every single conceivable way than we are.

They may not be able to overtake us with strength alone,

but make no mistake, they are much stronger mentally and magically,

and are a most formidable opponent. My mind can't help

here but to wander to all of the intellectuals who

are known to go missing on a random hunting or

hiking trip. Could it be these fake creatures have happened

upon randomly or specifically hunted down these extremely intelligent beings

for they have grown bored of playing with intellectually inferior

humans they normally encounter. Perhaps they enjoyed the mental sparring

so much they choose to keep this human with them forever,

using it as some so sick plaything to see how

long it takes to mentally break down such a smart

person to their most basic form of gay men mentality,

thus draining the human slave slash toy of all its

intelligence bright down to its most basic humanology of the

world and itself over period possibly centuries, all the while

keeping it hidden from other humans and feeding off its

life force until inevitably the human dies and the fairy

must then move on to what it sees as a

bigger and better challenge in the form of another human

who may be even smarter and more intellectually advanced than

its last pet. Keeping in mind all the time while

exploring this theory, that time passes differently for the fae,

with what seems centuries to us as mere minutes or

even seconds to them. My advice keep some kind of

iron on you at all times and make sure it's

clearly visible when traveling about, especially in the deep woods.

This is one of the only things known throughout all

cultures to even be remotely successful at keeping the fairies

at bay. One of the many deeply ingrained powers of

humanity is our ability to use symbols and objects to

break other species, beings and magical powers, especially when those

powers are dark and turned towards us. Perhaps it's magic,

or maybe it's just an uncanny knack for getting rid

of curses and axes. The same is true when it

comes to warding off the fae. Despite the many missing

who most are sure feel victim to a rambling and

dangerous pae, we as a species have been most successful.

Let's talk now about symbols and objects known to break

magical power, including the magic of the fae. Historically, these include,

but aren't limited to, rabbit's feet, inside out clothing, crosses,

and believe it or not, even pictures of a Japanese

emperor have all been known to successfully prevent further or

initial attacks on humans. Some of you may be familiar

with these things, and some may not either way, It's

definitely something we should all know, especially those of us

who spend any time at all in the woods or

for us, okay, let's be honest, even if we spend

time in our own back year. First, those of us

who know how to use the evil Eye are in luck,

as this is said to be the most effective way

to injure a fairy and defend ourselves during an attack,

either on the mind or body. The evil Eye is

second in winning as victory in this way only to

non galvanized iron. It's said that some races can't even

be looked upon by humans without being injured. Others can't

use their magic against this one presented with the evil eye.

So if you are n't aware of what this is

or how to effectably use it, maybe you should learn.

Unless a fairy has attached itself to you as a familiar,

and trust me, you will know if this has happened,

never accept its hospitality. It's completely impossible to tell the

difference between a well meaning and helpful fay who cares

deeply about humanity and an evil one who's pretending so

they can lure you into its web. For either the

reason of making you a slave or a snack. Trust

me when I say you won't know until it's far

too late. You don't have to verbally accept anything or

even acknowledge these small, sitesly benign and insignificant gestures of

so called hospitality either. All you have to do is

anything other than clearly stating no. Remember though not to

be offensive or insulting it anyway, unless you're prepared to fight.

Once you've danced with, accepted food from, or even allowed

a fairy to brush your hair, you're in their complete

and total dead. So be sure and keep your wits

about you, and don't be fooled. The nice and friendly

kind are far harder to come by. Its humanity and

its wars and destruction of the very force they make

their homes in is definitely on almost all species of

fairies naughty lists, and many are just aching for revenge.

Keep in mind here, too, even if the fairy wishes

no ill intent towards you and has no plans to

kill or enslave you for accepting these gestures of goodwill

from them, even if the gestures are genuine, Once you accept,

you're automatically in the fairy room, and no longer in

our world. In that case, even if the fairy you're

canoodling with means you no harm, once in their realm,

it will be all the more harder for you to

protect yourself against any attacks from the more vengeful and

bloodthirsty type among them. See unless the fairy is a

familiar of yours, and this doesn't simply mean you know

it well or its friend, I'm talking more like a

witch's familiar, like they have sometimes in black cats or

other animals, it will be unable and more than likely

unwilling to protect you while in the realm of the

other fay. They will face their consequences and repercussions simply

for befriending a human and offering this hospitality to you,

and can face certain deaths from fairies high up in

the realm than they are, and will never be willing

to risk or sacrifice themselves to protect you. They can

even be compelled to join in your torture. Make no

mistake that they will too if it means saving themselves.

It's basically impossible to return to our own world or realm.

Once we've entered that of the fae, we will be

forever lost, possibly a story in someone's Missing Person in

the Woods video here on YouTube. There's always the chance

you'll just waste away, whether or not you could get

back had you eaten or danced with these little beings.

Many a human has been known to wander between realms,

never again experiencing happiness or pleasure, not even on the

smallest scale, after having dined, danced, or spent time with

the faye. Many who are of the opinion fairies are

directly responsible for many, if not most, of the missing

four one one in the woods and forest encounters will

tell you that sometimes it's just a twist of fate

or bad luck to have stumbled upon a faery or

it's colony. It can happen, and more often than not

does that without the human or the fairy planning it

at all, the human will stumble upon it or their

past will somehow cross. In this case, it's best not

to try and reason with them or explain yourself, as

this is when throughout history humans have been most well

known to try and steal their treasures. Best to just

apologize and move along as quickly as possible, provided that

is that they allow you to. Perhaps some in the

forest keep a bit of alcohol, tobacco, or sweech with

you in case something like this should happen, You're more

likely to be allowed to leave in one piece if

you can give them a gift, a peace offering if

you will. There are certain times, though very limited in nature,

that a fayfolk may truly be in need of human assistance,

and will therefore honestly try and hire you to do

some work for them. Examples may include when their colony

comes under attack, say by a deity or a ghost

or spirit who wishes to overtake their colony, cause general mischief,

or even kill and overthrow the fairy queen. The fairies

will then seek to employ a human being to draw

a cross on the trees or they've made their home.

This somehow allows the fate to hide safely within the

tree without being seen by the evil entities. Even mind

that this can be a very dangerous job for the

human as these beings can also, as most of us know,

either possess, cause harm, to stalk, or even kill us

or a loved one. The fair are all but defenseless

against them, which is why they need us in the

first place. However, if you should succeed in helping the

fairies to hide from these mortal enemies and help to

save and preserve their colony and queen. You will be

rewarded just as you would be by a Germanic woodwife,

which is with a full bag of lovely scented woodschips.

Be sure to think and graciously accept this payment, as

it said that as soon as you leave the force

with this treasure, that is indeed what it becomes as

the chips turn up pure gold. There are stories of

means spirit and ungrateful humans who have gone out of

their way to do this work for the Faith people

and refuse to accept their most fantastic gift, feeling as

though the saving of their kind should have earned more

than a mere bag of woodships. This did not work

out well for that person, as they're said to now

roam the forest where they committed this light against the Faith,

and they're left as mere phantoms, knowing not whether they're

coming or going, never knowing themselves or anything. Out of

space and time again perpetual circling the forest, left like

prey to any and all other creatures and entities that

roam those same For us, a sheep perpetually being led

to some horrible fate and definite slaughter. Oh and if

you should be so unlucky as to stumble across a

fairy child, just do your best to help it find

its way, regardless of how mischievous and ungrateful it may

be towards you. But these small beings are taught that

humans are basically the Boogeyman. You may or may not

get anything for your trouble, though it depends on the

relationship its parents have with the human race, whatever their

experiences may have been good or bad. However, if you

refuse to help or insult the child in some way,

woe be unto you, as you'll end up in the

aforementioned perpetual phantom state. Finally, the faithfolk most often will

seek the help with certain humans, depending on your r fields,

which they can very easily read to clean their fields,

earth their children, guard their queen, and watch their cattle.

Should you do a good job, you'll earn the wage

of gold or the relief from some something that is

ailing you. The fairies are known to not only be

able to cause, but to cure most human aches and pains,

but also some diseases as well, regardless of what the

payment is you're encouraged to just accept the task ask

of you by the Fay, do not try and find

out what the pay of re ward will be in advance,

as this is considered to be very rude. As a rule,

fairies themselves are generally hard working and considered it important

behavior for anyone to refuse a hard day's work, regardless

of what the pay might be. Remembering we are also

speaking of the mysterious missing here, I'd be remiss not

to remind you that if you do not know, by

cider sound which fate you're dealing with, it's best to

be extremely careful not to stumble upon them. In general,

there are some races of the Fay, the Bobby Yaga,

for one, who will hire human with promise of great reward,

only to give them impossible tasks to complete, so the

end of the day sees much punishment, possibly enslavement, going

missing in the human realm for as long as the

faith see fit. Is this what has happened to the

very few who have gone missing in the forest for

long stretches of time, only to return, either not remembering

or refusing to speak before they'd been the whole time.

Perhaps we'll never know, after all, the Fay are known

to be quite tight lipped and regardless of how friendly

one species may be towards the humans. As we say,

blood is thicker than water, and at the end of

the day, most of the Faye will stick with their

own kind. I want to reiterate some of what we

should have taken from this story today, as my concern

for the missing is ever growing the more I myself

learned about these little creatures of Lord known as the Faye.

Keep in mind that generally they are not the wish granting,

super cute and sparkly little lovers portrayed in fairy tales

and children's bedtime stories. They are nasty and ill tempered,

with a great love of abducting people humans, to be exact.

It's one of their favorite past times, actually, and the

stalking of the prey is what they enjoy most, almost

more than the actual abduction and enslavement itself. Pointing back

to the missing four one one phenomena and all the

unfortunate disappearances there, let's take a look now at some

of the correlation between the parameters that are set up

and how almost all of them can be somehow be

traced back to the fay in their fiendish pastimes, storms

and weather events. Ferries are nature spirits and can control

the elements, mainly water and storms. In the case of

the missing, search and rescuing are often stopped and put

on indefinite hold because of some inclement weather event that

seems to come up out of nowhere. If you were

a fairy and had abducted some poor and suspecting human,

would you not use all of your power over the

elements to stop the human from being found? Keeping in

line with the elemental facts of possible fairy involvement in

these missing cases, I point you now towards the boulder

fields and bodies of water found in the area where

the lot of these people went missing from. In folklore,

bodies of water, particularly streams and brooks, found in most

forests and national parks, are known to belong to la

mental beings which the fate definitely are, and the element

they manipulate the most is thought by some to be water.

Boulder Fields, on the other hand, are known all over

the world as the domains of the fee. You'd be

hard pressed to find a fairy legend or they did

not have dominion over all the boulder fields, and small

bodies of water in the forest. Not only in the

missing four one one phenomenon cases, but also in UFO, sasquatch,

and Crypti literature, you will find a general refusal from

most animals, search dogs, in particular, refusing to venture into

woods that once they would have explored without hesitation. These

dogs are usually trained to search and rescue and hunt. However,

in so many cases of the missing, we find that

the canines just absolutely refused to do the job they

were born and trained to do, a job which any

other time they loved to do. The dogs are scared,

plain and simple, and looking into much of fairy folklore

you will see precisely why this happens. This behavior is

not only rife in fairy lore, but also becoming more

and more common. In each missing person case we've come

across where a search and rescue canine was employed, they

simply refuse to pick up the scent. The same is

true for the missings pets, who unfortunately accompanied them out

into the wilderness and most likely witnessed the fairy abduction.

The dogs are afraid of the fray. As I reiterate,

they are nasty and mean. Little creatures and sometimes put

a heck of confusion on the poor MUDs, making it

chase and by its own tail, sometimes going so far

as to invisibly injure the animal. That's right, They use

very magic and play a game with their children, sort

of like the human version of pinata, only with magical

needles that make the animal bleed but leave no mark.

I won't explain further, just use your imagination. The next

connection I want to help you understand is one many

find the most creepy of all the disembodied sounds heard

by search and rescue people and volunteers. They will hear

disembodied screams for help or moaning sounds of pain coming

from somewhere, from somewhere deep in the wilderness, yet nowhere

the issue. The sounds are the voices of the missing

individual they're currently out searching for. The person is already

enslaved by the time the searchers come to the rescue,

remembering the inclement weather and refusal of animals to hunt,

which buys the fairy more time to capture its victim

and perhaps to hunt them and have their fun for

a little while longer. By the time of the fate

lifts all these magic. It's too late, though. The victim

hasn't figured that out yet, and still clings to the

hope he or she will be heard, not knowing they

are already lost, forever, doomed to a life of slavery,

worse than anything imaginable, worse even than death. Ever, wonder

why some people turn up dead and some are just

lost forever, never to be found, not hiding nor hear

of them. Well, the explanation for this is actually quite

simple for anyone familiar with the Fay and their ways.

You see, it's all about usefulness. Who of the humans

will pose the big challenge to them? They don't, for example,

want to hunt someone who is going to give them

a run for their money. This is also why people

who are extremely smart and very athletic, even avid hunters,

are never found and seemingly lost in the very blink

of an eye. The fate want a challenge. They've played enough.

It's time to test the human's intellectual strength and or

physical prowess, depending upon their particular need for that particular

slave for that day. If the person proves to be useful,

either physically, intellectually or both, the Fay will keep them.

If not, they will be killed in return to our dimension,

our realm, if you will. The reason places are searched

dozens of times just for the person to turn up

days later in the exact same spot is because the

Fay was kind of interviewing them, if you will. Only

not for a job, Oh no, they were being interviewed

for what kind of slave they'd made. Best. After it's

decided that they are indeed useful, they will be magically

transported into the Faye realm, never to be seen or

heard from again, leaving absolutely no trace. How familiar does

this sound to some missing person cases? Every once in

a while, I'm mischievous and especially cruel Faye. Usually a

child or a young adult will place articles of clothing

here or there, simply to watch the searchers find it

and get a renewed sense of hope. Then they stand

by for days, watching and waiting until they see the

hopes suddenly dashed upon the realization that they would find

nothing more. In the case of the shoes, it's simple.

The Faye are extremely clean folk, and shoes are very

very dirty, especially after someone has been chased through the forest,

which is why the shoes are left behind. The final

focus point in some of these missing persons cases I

want to discuss is the berry picking. This is the

simplest of all explanations, which is why I chose to

do it last. Berries that grow in the forest are

considered by the Faye to be their own food. They

love the delicious and plump seasonal fair that grows all

over some bushes near water. After all, they collect and

store them in case of a shortage of maybe human

blood that year, and therefore to simply pick up a

single berry let alone there to taste or eat a

bunch of them is considered thievery to the fae and

will be punishable by eternal slavement impossibly death. In closing,

is there really any truth to these legends in lower

If not, then why did they exist and why were

they told in the first place? Is there some negative

truth in these While it's easy to connect the dots

in reverse, are we really just embracing some of these

old stories to put our minds at ease because there

is no real scientific or rational explanation for these cases

where people have gone missing without leaving a single trace

of anything behind. Charles Fort once wrote, one measures a

circle beginning anywhere. If nothing else, these stories and legends

of the Fay give our minds something to focus on,

besides the truly unthinkable that people can and do disappear

and we have no idea why or where they've gone. Hello, friends,

Welcome to The Missing and the Faye Part three. Now,

before we begin, I must once again remind everyone that

fairies are not what we grew up and need them

to be as children. They are not the chair faced,

impeccably gorgeous, teeny tiny little things who land on your

right shoulder perhaps and sprinkle pixie dust on you to

help you fly away to magical land. Now, as we

discussed in Part two, maybe something like that with a

pixie dust. But today we're going much deeper, possibly darker,

into the scary world of the Missing and the Fact.

After all, let's also not forget that the Fay is

supernatural and they precede humanity, so much about them is

still unknown to us. From what we do know, fairies

are actually some of the most frightening and dreadful creatures

a human could ever encounter, especially in the deep dark

depths of forest and woodlands and national parks. Fairies are

magic and magic in the wrong hands can be deadly.

Let's go and explore again, folks. Let's learn about just

a few of the many different types of faithfolk one

might encounter when out on a high core just exploring

the woods behind your house. Now, could these faithfolk be

at least a part of the reason why people all

over the world are going missing in the blink of

an eye and vanishing without a trace. Fairies are reportedly

seen everywhere and anywhere. Wherever there are boulder fields and

berry patches, streams of water, circles of stone. They're places

of dwelling. If listed could go on and on. Don't

let their mostly small stature fool you. Berries themselves are magic,

and they know how to use it for better, for worse,

for good or for bad, for life or death. This

fact alone makes them so much more formidable than we

recognize because of how tiny they usually are. So here

we go again into the world of the fay. Be careful,

make sure you have your gifts of tobacco, candy, sweets

and liquor. Take off your red clothing and make sure

you're in the middle of the line. And whatever you do,

don't leave the group, and don't pick those berries. Also,

don't set out and seek something which you cannot possibly understand.

If you're unfortunate enough to ever happen upon a fairy,

remember to never give them your name, for this gives

them power and possibly even complete control over you. Perhaps

give them a fake ne or even a nickname. And remember,

if you know their name and say it aloud so

they can hear it, they must leave you alone. Who

knows why, It's simply a law of fairy nature. As

far as the fayre concerned. When trees die, sometimes springs

wild mushrooms sprout up in its place. Many believe this

is where the portals to the fairy realms lie inside

these mushroom rings. These fairy rings never even stand inside

of one, let alone fall asleep home first. Hearing this,

I couldn't help but wonder if maybe this is one

of the reasons people are going missing, being lost in

the woods for days and sometimes even weeks. A human

being is going to get hungry, someone dehydrated, confused and

most likely delirious and possibly even hypothermic. Is it going

to be thinking straight and may see these mushrooms as food?

Is this another lure? Are the faith themselves. What are

making these people suddenly sick, needing to separate from the group,

only to find themselves confused and lost and not knowing

even sometimes who or where they are. Maybe they suddenly

come upon these mushrooms and then their discombobulated state, and

decide to eat them. Who knows, maybe the fairies even

put it in their minds to do so. Then they

enter the fairy realm, and who knows what has done

with them? Most likely their loved ones will never see

them again. Mushroom rings equals fairy trap less than number one. Now,

there are many types of phenomena that come along with

a fairy encounter. Sometimes a person will experience just one

of these things, and other times they'll experience two or more,

sometimes all one. Thing we've been hearing about more and

more recently in the stories are what I like to

call the almost missing. This is a profound silence suddenly

coming upon nature right before the encounter. I've experienced this myself.

Kind of statically tristy energy type feeling will enter the

air as well, leaving all the hairs on your bodies

to stand completely on the end one of those electric charges,

like right before a loud and particularly violent thunderstorm. It

will be a sense of losing time somehow, of course,

with no way of knowing why or how the time

was lost, and sometimes even where it went to. Many

people report, while experiencing a Faye encounter, one they thought

they had just happened to come across randomly, whether to

their great or terrible luck. There's a sense in the

back of the mind somehow, perhaps even in their subconscious,

that whatever displayed their witnessing is being put on just

for them, as though it wasn't such a random or

chance encounter at all. There's always either an unusually clouded

or unusually vivid memory of the experience, and you could

also start to feel as though this particular sighting or

event happened at a very specific time in your life,

as if it were fate somehow, with the encounter somehow

marking a turning point in your life, across roads, a

new beginning, an end to an old horizon. These are

just to name a few of the feelings and physical

experiences one may go through before, during, or after encountering

the Faye. Of course, there can be some form of

reconciliation for us once we come to the conclusion finally,

that the old legends of beautiful beings fluttering about on

gosamer wings and drinking the dew off almost as beautiful tulips,

are nothing more than made up lore, true fairy tales.

If you will, told thelullas into a happy sleep and

give us even happier dreams when we layer little heads

down at night. At least, that's what I always thought

the purpose of such nonsensical stories were. However, now I

believe I know better. It's of the opinion of many

experts on fairy legends and low who say that perhaps

these stories were made up by the faith themselves in

order to cause those who hunt them to think them

more harmless and unassuming. This reconciliation being that we do

not have to toss these old legends aside completely and

come to know the fae in a different light. Perhaps

they'll become even more enchanting to us, even as we

become more aware of the danger associated with and all

around them. Let's talk about the missing and the faithfolk.

We've talked before about many of the parameters used when

deciding which cases of missing people fit into the completely

baffling those which have no other explanation at all than

something we humans may consider other worldly. We know the

fair much more commonly reported as being seen than angels

or even demons. However, we still know much less about them.

We know they're misunderstood for sure, Keeping in mind again

what we've always been told about them and what's actually

the truth. When a person goes missing, all we really

have to go on is either the scant evidence left behind,

if there even is any, or the testimony of the

people who, for whatever reason, were allowed to come back. Yes,

I used the word allowed here, because there's no way

of escaping the fairy realm without permission. Once you've entered

a portal, even by complete misstep er accident, you will

be trapped there forever unless you're granted permission to leave.

In speaking of all the many types of different fairies,

some of the missing may have encountered right before they vanished,

the mind may begin to wander to all of the

causes of death, all of the ways we try to

be reasonable and rationalize the way in which some of

the people were said to have met their end while

in the woods. We've talked much about the hideous and

unimaginable creatures some of the faith folk actually are, but

there are also some species who are inherently beautiful and charming,

much like the fairy stories we've heard of old I

wonder if it's even more likely that it was some

of these types who have led many of the missing

to their own demand sort of beautifulness, going out as

bait for the more terrifyings. Now, when exploring how many

people are said to be hypothermic, I can't help but

be reminded of the Aserai fairy. Similar to, but not

the same as the Mermaid. The Azrai are incredibly beautiful,

but quite shy. Most nomadic creatures who aren't all inherently

evil tend to be. Sometimes. The touch of the Azrai's hand, however,

will cause the human skin to become so very cold

it can never feel warm again, thus possibly inducing the

hypothermic condition that is said to be responsible for many

of the missing, who are later found to ceased to

under strange circumstances. Although said to only surface once a century,

it's not certain for how long this wants. A century

visit is for from these faithful, who knows how many

victims it has time to take from this earth? In

that time. As mentioned earlier, we sometimes receive stories from

those who are missing for periods of time, and sometimes

those stories tell of being misled while trying to find

their way in the woods. We know already fairies are

made of magic and can use it and bend humans

at their whim. When I think of the delightfully mischievous pixie,

I can't help but wonder as well if this isn't

the fairy. The lost traveler comes upon these little troublemakers

mislead traveling humans about where they should go next, about

which path to take to find their way to where

they're meaning to end up. This is like a sport

for them. Most of the time it's done telepathically or

through suggestion, But every once in a while you will

hear the stories of the disnified pixies whispering in a

lost traveler's ear. Be very wary of their charm, for

nothing they utter, ever, seems to be the truth. It's

simply how they're made. Are they working in tandem with

other magic or unseen forces or beings in the woods

and forests, helping these others to lure apples and unwitting

human into their trap. That's something else to add to

the long list of things we may never know. Well,

some of us may find out, but it's doubtful if

we do, we'll ever be able to speak of it again. Remember,

pixies are said to be changelings. Instead of working with

another being a creature, could they be the very thing?

Do they play a sick form of manhunt or tag

with each other using the humans? Some wonder if the

infamous flannel Man is in fact just a shape shifting pixie.

Throughout the past two videos, we've learned so much about

the fay, and yet we still haven't even scratched the surface.

We often wonder why the fairies would ever need a

mirror human for anything so serious to keep them longer

than the time it takes to get some quick chores

done a very simple interaction, What is the attraction? Well,

there's a type of fairy that desperately needs humans in

order to continue breeding to save their own race. This

would be the classic elves, now not Santa's elves. These

elves are said to be half human after all, and

they can only go so many generations without a human

being donating some DNA to their bloodlines before they become extinct.

These little beings are endowed with a sense of excellent

hearing and sight, and they're also quite graceful and charming.

But don't be fooled with the knowledge of how these

little ones possess a natural defense against any and all

dark arts and black magic. Simply because they possess it,

that doesn't mean necessarily that they never use it, though

I'm sure, just like humans, all forms of faith folk,

all species have their good and bad attitudes. Another species

of fate who are said to have superior physical beauty

are the mer people. This, of course, is depending on

who you ask, as in recent years, humans believe that

they've come to know that these species are half human

and half fish, would have thangs like a piranha and

no need for hair, even the females. However, let's suppose

just for a minute that what most of the research

said about these murr people is in fact accurate. Let's

imagine for a moment that they are esthetically pleasing and

almost too beautiful to look at directly. They're quite known

to be the ones who lure sailors and seamen to

their deaths. The females in chanting beauty is absolutely irresistible

to the human man. These half fish, half human bombshells

must do this sometimes to save their own species as well.

While we are simply speaking of the missing in the woods,

I'll move on, But make no mistake that those sirens

are just waiting for some poor fishermen to cross their path.

Think of all the missing who have ended up in

the water and were never captured on any cameras going

in and with no eye witnesses either. Could it be

a form of myrrh person that's involved with these abductions.

Of course it's not the seawater dwelling type, but who knows.

Perhaps there are fresh water versions too. Who could ever

really know all the possible types and species of any creature.

It's been said that every year in the Amazon, tens

of thousands of new species of creatures that we do

know of are found. What about the species that we

don't have any knowledge of? How many of those are

out there? Even if we can't prove the fabled ones exist,

that doesn't mean that they don't. After all, more people

are said to be able to manipulate the sea. Who's

to say there is a type which dwells in lakes

and regular unssualted bodies of water, and does just this

to their unsuspecting victims, taking them as slaves. We can't say,

and we may never be able to either. Although if

you look back at some of your Native American legends,

particularly those of the Cherokey, they warn about creatures and

lakes that lure people in to take to This next

entry may surprise some of you, depending on which the

many legends you've heard of. The band shee the Irish

legend of the whaling woman, whose vocal trillings warn of

someone about to meet their device. Depending on which tail

you're familiar with, the band she is either a beautiful

enchantress or a raggedy old hag. Regardless of what she

looks like, no household or member of it can escape

her torturous wailing. Where the band she comes a calling,

Her looks aren't going to matter to you. Not every

single species of fairy is inherently mischievous, malevolent, or evil.

There are very few exceptions, sure, but exceptions there are.

Take the brownie, for example. Have you ever wondered about

all the people that have survived such rough and exhausting

weeks and months in the deepest darkest parts of the

woods and forests, only to have some strange story of

miraculous survival. Well, could it be the brownies. Brownies get

their name from their brown skin and hair. While not

visible to ordinary people, only those with the second sight

are said to be able to see these little ones.

They are able to shape shift into anything they like.

They are another breed of changeling, and although they usually

take the image of farm or domestic animals, when doing

so need sometimes take on the form of water or whoever.

The person lost and ill would be most comfortable with,

even staging the meeting, sometimes as a hallucination, putting the

human in kind of a dream state so as to

blur the lines of memory lest they never discover it

was in fact a brownie who would heal them and

nurse them back to health before sending them on their

way to safety, perhaps even protecting them from the other

more mischievous and dangerous type of fake creatures. Remember that

the legends of the faith come from every culture all

around the world. Is this just a coincidence that every

culture dating almost to the beginning of time has had

some sort of legend or arding, some sort of faery type.

Probably not. It's probably because they actually do exist, just

the sightings of them are becoming less reported. In general,

the fayfolk and their rules are very different from ours,

and we will most likely never be able to know

about or even understand all of their little synchronicities. Even

if the more benevolence, even if a little bit mischievous

types can cause so much damage as mentioned above, how

about the other more dark and sinister types. What role

could they possibly play in these missing and vanishing events

happening all over the globe these days? In the wilderness,

most times all of the elements of the earth seem

to come together. It remain separate, the streams and the

ponds which feed the soil which grow the plant life

which gives life to the air, into humans, and sometimes

even the inclement weather or some other force causes there

to be fire. Almost all fairies tie themselves to one

element in particular, and usually do not travel outside the

bounds of that element. If they are the type to

typically traveling groups, peo will do so with members of

their same element. Let's explore some of the more hurtful

and perhaps vengeful types of face species and look at

their possible roles in what's going on with these disappearances.

Now there's much talk about alternate dimensions and portals, and

perhaps the missing crossing accidentally into one from another while

lost and trying to find their way back, sometimes even

being led or completely compelled to do so by an

outside force, fairy or otherwise. It's true parries usually live

close to humans. However, their dwelling places are always distinctly separate,

and most of the time they're on a plane or

in a dimension even right above or below our human one.

The real change links, as in fairy children which have

been swapped for a human child, are one of the

most terrifying types of malevolent way. While technology has made

it almost impossible for fairies to go around swapping their

babies with humans, it does happen every now and again.

The child as it grows will always have trouble fitting in.

Not only will they always be more beautiful than the

rest of the children in their age, but they will

also have trouble relating. This leads to the life of

constant isolation, which can make some of them snap. Now,

this could explain a whole other type of human problem

in society. For the past few decades or so, the

child murderer, the child who kills That's not what we're

here to discuss today, but maybe another time, another time. Indeed,

divas or devas are tiny fairies which resemble fireflies. In fact,

if you live or are in, for whatever reason, the

wooded area, you're almost certainly going to come across the

dava known to hang around well cared for plants and

to flutter far away from decaying or dying floora in

the wilderness is if this what entices the flower pickers

who go missing from time to time could be? Are

these the creatures who either intentionally or otherwise lure the

little children into the woods, never to be seen or

heard from again. Now, just picture that a small child

chases fireflies to collect in a jar and keep its

light for a few minutes, and it's the diva or

the firefly lies away away, so the child roams and

follows and follows and follows till they're inexplicably lost, maybe

never to be seen again. Maybe perhaps it can be

kept in a fairy child's jar, which crist can be

kept quiet for a while till the fair child loses interest,

just the same as the human child does after a

while of the fireflies beautiful glow, the last topic it

would do us well to spend just a little more

time on in this episode. Are the missing children not

the ones who return to tell the tales of their

grandmother bigger robot and taking them underground, or that a

bear kept them warm and fed them berries. No, I'm

talking about the ones who never return, who left no trace,

like little Dennis Marten, who disappeared seemingly into thin air

right off the face of the earth, out of existence,

or so it seems. It would be reasonable to assume

that the fairies work under concept known as bendeth emamah.

This translates to mother's blessing. Could it be possible that

the fay see themselves this way? These lesser known fairies

who indulge in the farious act of actual kidnapping, at

least that's what we as humans call it. These are

the Fay who are usually responsible for the aforementioned changelings.

They have a nasty little habit of taking healthy human

babies and leaving their own not so healthy little crimples,

as they're called in the human child's place. This is

what they call it. The Fay crimbles, meaning the replacements.

Parents of the Pilfrid children have to consult a witch

in order to get their offspring back. Sometimes, though as

strange as it may sound, the fay folk actually return

the child on their own, but only after it's been

instilled in the child a great love and appreciation for music.

Think about that. Well, that wraps it up for this episode.

What do you think about these alternate theories for the missing?

Could it be the work of the fay or some

other elemental creatures that we know very little about and

believe only exist in storybooks? Hello friends. As we've learned

from previous videos on the subject, fairies have been around

since the beginning of recorded time, perhaps even earlier. They

play an important role in many cultures folklore all around

the world. Some believe they are benevolent and still think

of the Disney find tinker Bell versions of Pixies and

sprites as how all fairies are in nature and how

they communicate with us humans. Others, however, know better and

know the truth, just as we in this community are

starting to learn through this series. Fairies or the fae

are portrayed as demons, fallen angels, elementals, nature spirits. The

list goes on and on for each culture's explanation of

the fae. They're known to have all kinds of supernatural

powers and accused of being responsible for all types of

magical and even paranormal activities. We've gone through some of

the types of the fay and what we believe their

purposes here in our realm. We've talked about how some

species enslave humans and to what end they do. So

today we're going to walk through the account of fairy

sightings and interactions. Is there a specific type of person

more likely to see them? Are they more inspired to

kidnap and take back to their realm one type of

human and over another? What type of mischief do they cause.

Let's take a look at some Faye encounters through the

ages and see if we can make some connections. Welcome

to the Missing and the Faye Part four. Believe it

or not, there is one place in the United States

that has had so many Fay encounters that to those

of us who are interested in and researching these topics,

could possibly give this place the name the Ferry Capital

of the United States. What mysterious and unknown woodland or

forest am I speaking of here, well, neither would you

believe Detroit, Michigan. Now this is not just a couple

of sightings by new agent intellectuals trying to push the

ferries are real and can live in urban areas too agenda.

For centuries, there have been reports of gnomes and other

species of little people in the Detroit area. Some of

them date back even before the Europeans settled here, so

basically before it was even named Detroit, possibly before the

state of Michigan even existed. Is it something about the

land there? Did the settlers intrude on some magical place

where the veil between our world and theirs is so

much more thin? Let's look at some of these fay

encounters and see if we can figure it out. The

origins of our first story lie within the Ottawa tribe.

These are the natives who were living on the land

before the English and French settlers came in and took

it over. This particular encounter tells of the red dwarf,

as the natives call them. These little people are just

as mischievous as their brother and sister species, and can

be just as mean and evil. However, and it's interesting,

as it always is when dealing with a faith that

this particular type of faith are the protectors of the

land and the caretakers of the earth, extremely powerful nature

spirits who are most likely provoked by a colonization of

any sort that doesn't recognize the fay and respect the

land itself. When the French settlers came into that area,

they brought with them their own legends of the fay.

Theirs were called luton, which actually have their origins in

Nordic folklore. However, the French seemed to believe very much

in these devious little tricksters who went about playing pranks

on the settlers and anyone they could get a good

shot at. They dislike humans and even displayed at times

some behaviors which we would consider it to be similar

to the effects of having a poultergeist or noisy spirit

in our home. So suffers to say, these fay used

their magic and enjoyed doing so. They are very mean

spirited and sometimes even downright evil. So as the French

called eyes the land there where Detroit is now, and

mixed with the natives, these two legends ended up combining.

The Europeans came in and with their old legends of

the fay, which were that these creatures were more than

merely mysterious forest entities who played mean spirited ranks, but

rather malevolent harbinger subdom, chaos and destruction. The founder of Detroit,

Antoine de la mothe Cadillac, on March tenth, seventeen oh one,

decided to throw a party. During the party, as he

was greeting his guests, he noticed some people he didn't

invite and who definitely weren't dressed for the occasion. One

was a woman who looked more like a fortune teller

and had a cat on her shoulder. She immediately took

his palm and told him that while he was destined

to start a great city, it would be a place

of much violence and bloodshed for ages to come. The

old hag also gave a warning to deer Antoine, play

homage to and heed the Red Dwarfs and do not,

for any reason upset them. She went on to explain

that to do so would be his downfall. Now, Antoine,

being a modern man for his age, didn't believe in

such things as fortune tellers, palm readings, and fake creatures,

and laughed at the woman and kicked her out of

his party he had removed quite violently, in fact, and

went on about his days without giving even a second

thought to her warning about not upsetting the Fay who

were already inhabiting the area he was trying to colonize

and turn into the greatest settlement the New World had

seen so far. One night, Antoine decided to take one

of his mistresses for a walk around his new city.

As the couple were walking, they overheard some of the

settlers talking amongst themselves and soft to eavesdrop. The group

were talking about how they had seen le petit de rouge,

or the little red dwarfs, and that they felt the

city was now doomed to fail and falter once again.

Antoine scoffed and was even amused by the stories which

were growing by the day, of the people settling the

colleague catching sight of these little people or fayfolk, as

we have come to collect and we call and know them.

Not long after this event, however, Antoine Cadillac himself had

his own encounter with what he described as a deformed

dwarf like creacher, covered in blackish red fur and possessing

beady eyes. The creature's face was fierce and its eyes

piercing in blood red. It had crooked and disgusting teeth.

When it looked at him and sneered, he took a

club that was standing nearby and bashed the creature about

the head, but it just laughed and ran off. He

allegedly had this particular encounter in his own grand home

after this, so the legend has it, Antoine de la

mouth Cadillac lost everything. He died alone and penniless, a

ruined man. The city named after him left with a

kind of strange curse, just as the old hag fortune

teller had predicted, would Detroit be the same today if

he had simply heeded her warning and given respect to

the red dwarfs. Now why, we'll never know, but it

is said that they still roam around the city to

this very day, and sightings haven't become more scarce since

the seventeen hundreds, when Antoine had first envisioned the settle.

These self same creatures, or perhaps one of the same

species anyway, who look exactly the same, was seen that

same year repeatedly by a farmer in the area. The

farmer led to that the thing would peer in his

windows at night, terrify his family. It would also stalk

him as he plied his fields and tended to his animals. Likewise,

his family and young children especially weren't immune to the

creature's torment. Another farmer around the same time said this

same beast looking thing would stomp on the roof of

his barn at all hours of the day, especially at night,

just to rile up the horses and cause the tired

family great strife. It would steal his chickens as well.

On July twenty third, seventeen sixty three, two hundred British

troops had amassed on the outskirts of the city to

surprise a group of Native rebels who had defied the

post war policies the British should put into place for

the settlers and Native Americans in the area alike. This

apparently made them the enemy, and the troops were prepared

to surprise attack them during the night while they were

unguarded and asleep. This was during the insurgent uprising, which

is known to this day as Pontiacs Wore. This was

of course named for the fierce leader of the Ottawa tribe,

Chief Pontiac. The war that this led to was extremely violent,

with the armies on each side killing and attacking instant

civilians on the streets and in the villages, pillaging homes

and slaughtering women, infants, and children who had nothing to

do with anything and no rights to do with anything

even if they wanted to. It was total chaos and bloodshed,

and the Red Dwarfs didn't go without noticing all that

blood being spilled on their sacred land. They were seen

by hundreds of people during this time, soldiers and Native

Americans alike. They were spotted sitting on the banks of

a nearby creek where the bloodiest battle took place. This creek,

which ran so red with blood it was still to

this day known as Bloody Run, and the little Red

Dwarfs were dancing and celebrating. They were literally laughing and

shouting with glee, not rooting for one side or the other,

mid you, just reveling in the death and carnage of

the war before them. Their demeanor was described as elated

and joyous. They were even witnesses dancing amongst the corpses

of the dead and swimming in the bloody creek. These

little evil creatures were celebrating the bloodshed flashed forward. Now.

During the Great Detroit Fire of eighteen oh five, which

burned most of the city to the ground, the red

dwarfs were sighted by hundreds of witnesses at that time too.

In the days leading up to the fire, they were

seen by many witnesses throughout the city, Most of them

didn't even know what they were seeing. By the time

the eighteen hundreds rolled around, most people had forgotten about

the city's founder in the warning of the Old Hag

fortune teller. While the disastrous fire was still blazing and

people were dying left and right, all around, witnesses reported

seeing evil little red men dancing around in the flames

and on top of the charred corpses. They were seen

in the aftermath of the War of eighteen twelve and

all the way up into modern times, including the race

riots in the nineteen sixties and the extreme desolation and

abandoned buildings that occupied Detroit to this day. Now, let's

move out the motor city and into some more desolate

areas of the world and see what other encounters and

species we can uncover and perhaps learn a bit about,

in case the needs should ever rise that we need

to be knowledgeable about the fae, and perhaps what to

do should we come upon one or several. We should

already know that there are thousands of species and hundreds

of realms. What a person is kidnapped by a fairy,

their fate depends on so many things. We always talk

to these videos about the missing in the woods and

the face responsibility for such abductions, and even the death

of the missing in question. But what about the people

who have come back that survived. What are their stories like?

What do they remember, if anything, about where they were?

And may even why? What happens when the missing end

up deceased and people suspect a faye to be the culport,

how do you explain that to the police. In nineteen

oh nine, a woman in Ireland named Annie McIntyre was

abducted by fairies allegedly and had quite a story to tell.

She was said to have been born on Halloween in

eighteen thirty nine, which makes her more prone, some say,

to being able to see and possibly interact with many

supernatural realms, including those of the faithfolk. She is said

to have had a lifelong obsession with but an immense

respect for the fae. She claims this is because on

the night of her birth, she was abducted by the fay,

and had it not been for her brother happening upon

the celebrations, she would have most certainly become one of them.

No changeling was left behind, and though no one is

sure why she was left alone on the night of

her birth to be stolen, here's what she claimed until

the she died. On that night of Halloween in eighteen

thirty nine, fairies crept into her home mere minutes after

she was born and stole away with her wrapped in

her bedclothes and a small sheet her mother had made

for As the fairies were bringing her to the nearest

circle or portal, to one of their realms, they were celebrating,

dancing and singing under the moonlight. They were cheering that

they had gotten away without being seen, and the couple

who were the ones who would be raising the child

were being hoisted on the other little people's backs. It

was a grand celebration. While they moved towards the portal, however,

Annie's brother was coming back from a friend's house walking

through the woods and heard the commotion, the flutes and

music being played and celebrations happening in the woods right

behind his house. He went to investigate and claims he

saw dozens of little people carrying off his infant sister,

who he knew had just been born that very day. Allegedly,

he took his bible, which he just happened to be carrying,

lost it right into the group of fairies. They immediately

set the infant down and scattered, most of them, simply

disappearing into thin air. He skopoped his baby's sister up

into his arms and brought her back to the family home.

Ani's mother and family were so overjoyed with her return

that they had a huge celebration themselves and doted over

her so much as she was almost lost to them forever.

There were many precautions set into place that night in

that village, which have lived on throughout the centuries to

assure that babies would no longer be so easily swept

up and taken by fairies in the night, iron bars

being hung above the crib, the crib itself being made

entirely of iron, pinning the infants to night clothes, to

the pillow or mattress of the crib, Sprinkling the child

with holy water before bed, and throughout the day if

they should be left alone for even a second. There

were so many ways thought of to protect infants and

children back then from a fay abduction. Now these precautions

didn't always work, though, but for the most part they did,

or at least they seemed to. Maybe it would be

wise for those of us in modern times who believe

in and have respect for such things, to take notice

of and heed the warnings and advice of preventive measures. Instead, though,

we buy acute little kids to build their own ferry

gardens and set elf totems on the shelf at Christmas time,

which unbeknownst to most people, only provokes the all mental

spirits and advise them into your home to do you

even more harm. Aside from the brownie species of the fae,

we have yet to find another who is inherently good

and not known for any evil intentions or ill will

toward the human race, who has plaid down their homes

in the forest and disrespected them by portraying them as

goofy little scantily clad women flying around sprinkling magic into

little kids eyes just to play with them, or men

just to days and seduce them. Maybe we should give

them more credit and be more wise in their ways,

then maybe they'll stop abducting not only our children, our hunters,

our campers, our hikers, our sightseers from the beautiful and

majestic lands and national parks and national forests that the

faith folk guard so tightly and try so hard to

keep us from destroying. Well, there you have it, folks,

what do you think about these Fay people. I know

many people that readily believe in UFOs and Bigfoot will

kind of giggle at you if you mentioned the Faye.

But if you look deep enough into the Fay, you'll

find that Bigfoot type elementals and men from the stars

in flying vehicles are also told in Faye encounters as

well centuries ago. I look forward to reading your comments,

but please keep it friendly and respect each other's opinions. Meanwhile,

be good to yourselves and each other. I'll see you

just a little farther on down the trail. I'm Steve Stockton,

and I'll talk to you next time. S
