Do you believe in faries?

I don't know, and that's the truth. I can't say i've ever encountered them or that anything that's happened in my life leads me to beleive they do exist, but at the same time i couldn't possibly deny that they exist, as there's every chnace that they do. I guess i have no proof either way, so my agnostic nature just makes me keep an open mind about it.

I think at one time, belief in these beings were strong enough to cause people to hallucinate they saw them - like Julian Janes said about this phenomenon in his book.. The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. In this book he cite The Iliad (Homer) and how he (Janes) believed that these people believed in the gods so much that they actually mass hallucinated their presence in Trojan war. Fascinating book if every you fancy reading it. Janes's hypothesis is no different to seeing fairies, IMO. The two ladies who took pictures of the fairies in Yorkshire recently admitted they had been faked. Apparently their hoax went from strength to strength and they had to go along with it then. I can just imagine two little girls afraid to say they had tricked people in this way? I mean it was all over the nationals, what sort of trouble did they imagine they would be in if they came clean? I reckon though, that if you want something to exist badly enough, it will. And if as the "masters" keep telling us, ours is the world of illusion, who is to say what is real and what is not.:-)

Yes I do EsKaren and yes I know I am away with them I have just started collecting Fairy things lol I have so many Dolphins now so now it is time to start my Fairy Collection But yes I do believe in them and no one will tell me different

I don't believe in things that don't exist, and that includes fairies. The pictures were proven to be fakes, which was pretty inevitable, considering that there was nothing to take real pictures of.

J'y croix aux fees existe, J'y croix, J'y croix! Uh, interpretation..I do believe in fairies, I do, I do...thanks to the 2003 version of Peter Pan that I sometimes switch to the French language I can now say that line in French--LOL--I was reading this book about fairies by a famous Wiccan author and of course their is the wicca/pagan tradition that believes in faeries...If you want to hear something--hehe--I read in this book, that fairies love milk and if you want to attract them to leave a bowl filled with milk...so one Christmas I rigged up this tiny little bowl and hung it on the Christmas tree...the next morning...the milk was gone...mmmm???? Makes you think...I still leave a bowl out..unfortunately nowadays I don't think it's fairies drinking it, but a black four footed creature that lives with me...gee...wonder who it could be? LOL I most certainly do believe in fairies though...to answer your question

I really would like to believe they exist, or at the very least, SOMETHING exists which could explain how the idea of fairies came around. I know there was one experience I had that I can't really explain... A few years ago I was outside with my mother, her friend and my boyfriend at the time. It was early evening in the summer and already quite dark. We saw a light moving around behind the trees, and at first just assumed it was a plane like most lights in the sky turn out to be. But, after a while we realized it wasn't behind the trees, it was actually flying around IN the trees, and moving in different directions. It was much too big to be a firefly and wasn't blinking, it was just a little ball of light flying around. I still have no idea what it was, but if I had to describe it as something, I would say it seemed like some kind of fairy.

Ahhh... actually I think you're talking about the big hoopla over 2 children that took pictures of their mother's garden and all the fairies they played with when there. Back in those days it was almost unheard of that anyone could fake a photograph so nobody really questioned it and immediately assumed it was true. But alas, years later when they were older they confessed that they had actually drawn the fairies, cut them out with paper and scissors and pinned them in various poses. Although the one youngster later said that one of the pictures was "real", everyone had their doubts. This was actually called "the Cottingley Fairies Incident" which began in 1917 (not sure if I spelled it right). I only know about it because I just recently read a book that mentioned it. Quite interesting!

Why not, everything is possible:-) All theese creatures from the legends are not born simply by the human imagination,may be somebody in the past have seen them :-)

i do i believe in faries ..some things that happen in ma life are just so mystic and i tthink aany thing mystical is from a faries world.. .. i do believe in some magic but i dont believe it fully with my whole heart coz at times i think its just a state of mind an illusion

yes I do. and they're not very nice, to be brutally honest. they steal things, hide things, wind the dogs up. if you look at pre-victorian fairytales, they are all focused on how to avoid fairies, how to keep them out of your home, and how to keep on their good side (being on their bad side doesn't bear thinking about) beleif in them is still quite widespread in the westcountry.

Fairies? No, I don't believe they exist. Actually I've never believed in anything like that, not even when I was a little child. Maybe because my parents are very skeptical about these things too, so I was raised like that. I also think paranormal phenomena are fascinating, but I don't believe not even in 98% of was is said. Nowadays it's so easy to fake these things...
