Any of you got any fairy pictures(leprechauns,gnomes,dryads,tree spirits,goblins,dwarves,etc) or stories im really interested in theses things

I'm writing a fictional story right now about cave gnomes. If you'd like to read it I can post it in the writers section. *it's too long to be put into a comment.*

I kind of doubt you'll get any pictures...

This is as close as you'll find (it was a hoax pulled off by a couple girls):

Yeah, you don't really see too many fairy pictures out there. i always wondered how the whole fairy legend began.

Google might come in handy

If you're looking for honest to God, real-life fairy pictures, do a google search for

"RICHARD SIMMONS"

Mad Manfred beat me to it. They were made of paper (I think) and they ahd a film on that that came out a few years back.

Yelekiah

"Pictures of Fairys"- It wasn't bad actually.. - a bit more dramatic than I expected..still had a touch of realism to it though..

ROFLMAO I was ten the last time I heard about him!!!!

u might have a hard time with that, because infortuantlly they do not exist. I wish there were goblins though, that would be Awsome.

I don't have any pics of fairies or anything. But I know that what I'm about to say is probably to good to be true. But I'm not gonna say I believe it. Because I'm not sure what to believe in so I'll just say I have a theory here it is. I have a theory that the crop circles or symbols in nature are being made by fairies,gnomes,elves,dwarfs etc.

That's just me though

This thing was seen roaming the streets of San Fran.....and sightings in the Keys also............

It's a hoax. But it sure looks pretty looking.

My wife bought that some months ago, came out under a differrent name in Oz, I will look it up tonight.

Pictures are amazingly realistic for the era, and the fact that 2 little girls managed this with simple cardboard cutouts is incredible. No wonder everytime there is any sort of discovery everyone yells HOAX.

Might have a look at that flick one of these days, looked a bit "Girly" for me

McKenna I love your avatar...

This photo and the other's in the series are not a hoax. The children and their families are not lying.

actually, the woman in the photo confessed on her death bed that she and her sister had made the cut outs from a book on faries.

Well who declared that a death bed confession was admissible in court?
The children told exactly what they saw and photographed with their uncles camera.

You believe EVERYTHING don't you.

no

w8 hold on sometime later some guy observed them and said that the faires looked like one one of them from a familiar book

When the person on the death bed is the person who hoaxed the photo?

A misfiring brain at the point of death is not what I would call able to recall memories of events from years and years ago with credible detail.
At the time of the allegations, that is when the girls told the story, that was the most credible info. Not an elderly dying medicaly induced confusion of the facts.
Sorry, but right from the horses mouth must be accepted in a timely manner.

Just watch some Peter Pan.

Fairys are pretty camera shy, huh.

Tinkerbell is not a fairy. She is a pixie , totaly different. Jeez

I am not an expert but I have heard a very good theory that fairy myths came from a ancient conflict between iron age pastoralists and bronze age horticulturalists in britain. many aspects of fairy descriptions fit the classic scenario of horticulturalsits vs. pastoralists. first pastoralists (p) tend to be taller than Horticulturalists (h) also any people with bronze weapons are going to be afraid of iron weapons and tools that cut right through bronze. The first britains built cairns to bury their cheiftains in along with their treasure, it makes sense that they would later hide in these mounds when their land was overrun by p. Fairies are very threatening and dangerous creatures in the old myths, and they would sour milk, cripple cows and do great damage. One of the foundations of gurilla warfare is to harm the food supply, and the p. main food suply was their livestock. In time the h. were made mythified, and became stories to frighten children.

this is just a theory, but every myth and story started from a grain of truth. fairies had to come from somewhere.

I may be wrong on this, so if I am let me know, but im pretty sure i heard that those pictures could be found in a childrens paper doll type booklet from that time period, not saying that I dont believe in fairies, just thought I might put that out there.....I guess you could do some reasearch on antique childrends paper cutout books or something.


Oh yeah and just rememberd, I was reading up on fairy(yes i spell it several different ways, because ive never been sure which spelling is the proper spelling) and it says you can see fairys by looking through a self-bored stone, in which the hole was made by the tumbling waters of a brook.

To answer your question on where the myth came from, One theory is that the were the "hobbits" of Flore. Which by the way were on the discovery channel. The researchers think the hobbits represent a new species of human that could have inhabited other Indonesian islands. They were not pygmies, there brains were comepletely different. But it is theorized that they were the cause of the mountain dwarf myths, because the were excellent builders and engineers for there time. They might also be the cause for the fairy, gnome, oby-gogo ect.ect. But thats only a theory. Heres a picture of a skull comparison.

actually isaw a picture long ago that looked pretty real it was of a fairy it looked like a tiny tiny person in a glowing orb but i don't remeber where i saw it. it might have been real but i doubt it.

fairies exist. thats where the legend came from. fairies live in a whole other dimension that slowly moves farther from our own. you can't see them unless you're open to them. I suggest the book "Enchantment of the faery realm" by Ted Andrews. I have seen a tree fairy and no not out of the corner of my eye and not when i was tired it was straight a head of me and i was fully awake. She didn't notice me but she was gone after about 10 seconds. You'll learn that the fairies can choose whether or not to be seen. The legends started back when our dimensions lay right on top of one another and fairies were seen by everybody. The stories kept getting passed on and eventually were written down. oh yeah i have also seen water fairies and elves (the tall ones not the Santa ones).

me and my sister are really into fairies, i like to draw them sometimes. ok, i know its wierd for a guy to like fairies, i read a whole book about them!!


p.s my sis is 22

Actually this is a pretty plausable idea if you think about it. It would explain a lot. Just read up on a few books on modern physics and it could fit.

I don't believe in these types of creatures. I just really wish they were real =P, but this could kinda give some hope on the subject.

I know I have one of those lying around here somewhere...

That is wierd, considering you are usually such a skeptic!!

I would be very interested to know what conclusions you have come to? Do you think the idea is plausible?



Nice one

Just where does one purchase a self-bored stone, in which the hole was made by the tumbling waters of a brook ? My wife is quite taken with the little creatures. She calls the Dragonflies in our Garden fairies Cute 'ey. I'd like to show her the real thing.

hows that for a fairy?

Hi LyCaN123, your avatar reminds me of a bigfoot that i saw when i was a kid.
The legendary "Kapre" of the Philippines. Everytime i went home for holiday, i always
smell their presence wherever i go.
If you're looking for fairies, you won't find it here.
Better search for blogs.

How do you know they don't exist? Is there evidence that they don't?

THIS HAS BEEN ON MY MIND FOR A WHILE NOW, weither i believe in faries or not is not important but in ireland where im from we have many many stories of leprachaunns an little people tradionally they are wearing green so makes u think people who see them are describing little green men, but thats an idea i have

I am so glad I found this forum and thread on fairies. I have become an avid spirit photographer, and while poring over some photos I took of trees at night, I found what I realized are fairies. I had no intention of photographing fairies, nor had I considered their existence as real before they showed up in my photos, then I decided, why not? Everything else strange under the sun (well, moon) is showing up in my photos (photo index).

Some people that have seen these photos have had a hard time "seeing" the fairies or found them too blury. However, the fairies seem to only turn out in my photos when I am a certain distance away from them, which makes them blurry when I enlarge the photo. Also, I did not see them with my eyes so they are obviously not 100% physical.



I was in complete amazement for days after finding the first fairy images. That first night as I fell asleep, I felt as if the fairies were explaining to me about their culture though I cannot consciously recall any of it, but it happened over several nights. It felt as if I were going through huge volumes of books. One thing that I can remember moments before my alarm clock went off in the morning, was hearing this tiny voice that sounded like the Chipmunks (Alvin, etc.) saying, "Aww nuts, you're running away..."

I remembered the Cottingley fairies and decided to do a thorough internet search on them. When I saw their photos again I was disappointed as the fairies looked like cutouts. However, after reading many versions of the story, I found that some versions say that the girls held out for a long time that the fairies were real, and only one in the end finally agreed that 4 of the 5 photos were not real. However, this is contradicted all over the place, too. What interested me the most was reading that the man who first got his hands on the photos and negatives had them "cleaned up" as thoroughly as possible so the images would be crisp. In doing so, he had made them look fake. The fifth photo was not cleaned up and it is amazing to me because the fairies look transparent (and interdimensional) as are my fairies. Here is a copy of the fifth photo that I clarified by tinting the flesh.

I think i like faeries because i was strongly attracted to ferns
but everytime i go hunting them in the forest, bloody bigfoot always on my back.
