A Louisiana woman remembers, as a child, observing a small horse-drawn wagon with a tiny driver along the side of a road. She didn't say anything about it at the time.
The following account was forwarded to me by my friends Cam & Kyle at Expanded Perspectives:
"This story took place in Louisiana back in the 1940s from the backseat of a car while looking out the window. I was about eight years old, and I was sitting in the back seat of the car while looking out the window. My father was a doctor and whenever there was an automobile accident, he always stopped to render aid. This was in the 1940s. There were only two-lane highways, so collisions were fairly common.
The car might have been stopped for that reason, at the time, or we were driving very slowly, but I looked out my window on the left side, and on the shoulder of the highway in the opposite lane, was a tiny horse-drawn wagon with a tiny driver. The horse was about eight inches from nose to tail as I looked down on it, and the driver was in proportion. The wagon was kind of a dingy red, farm-type wagon. At the time I did not think the sighting was miraculous or even odd, and I didn’t say anything to my parents, but all I remember is that I wanted to take the tiny beings home to play with.
Although I remember it vividly, I gave it little thought for years, but in later life, I started reading about elementals, and fairy beings and realized I’d had an actual sighting. I have had no sightings since. They seemed unaware of me or anything but what they were doing, which was a fairy man driving a horse-drawn wagon, the wagon and horse about the size that could fit in an apple carton.
If seen what did the fairy/fairies look like? I saw a tiny (eight-inch) horse-drawn wagon being driven by a tiny man. The wagon, horse, and man all looked like real living beings, in perfect proportion. The wagon was a dingy red, the horse brown but I don’t remember anything specific about the driver. I heard no sounds.
It was on a highway in Louisiana, and no one talked about fairies. I don’t remember even having heard about fairies at the time. I was about eight years old. Why do you think your experience was a fairy experience, as opposed to a ghost or an alien or an angel or some other type of anomalous experience?
I was a child, wide awake at the time, and I knew nothing about ghosts or aliens and little about angels. I now believe that [fairies] exist and are basically soul-like beings that vibrate at a range of frequencies that humans can’t see unless certain circumstances allow it. I never read fiction or non-fiction stories about fairy beings until many years later, when I was around thirty years old, and I started reading about ‘elementals and other fairy beings in a book entitled 'The Secret Teachings of all Ages' by Manly P. Hall. Since then, I have researched more. The memory of my fairy sighting is still vivid, after over seventy years." M
