The belief in fairies and other supernatural beings – Part 12

Do you believe in faeries, ghosts, or other supernatural entities? Many around the world do. To many people, faeries {the Little People} are as real to them as their own families are. Indeed, the history of faeries, { also known as ‘Fey’ or ‘Fay’, the word deriving from ‘Fays’ meaning Fates], has a long history, all around the world.

She was used to his moaning, and had learned, over the years, to close her ears to his constant whining.

It was on such a night as I have described that something happened to Bill that would change his life forever. As usual he was sat in his chair, reading his newspaper. Martha, was, as usual, watching the TV, suddenly Bill, noticed the actors on the TV seemed to be talking strangely to one another. Their speech seemed slurred, and they also seemed to be moving in slow motion. At first Bill thought that there was something wrong with the satellite box, that it was somehow faulty. But, on gazing back down at his newspaper, Bill was alarmed to find that the words upon his paper were jumbled. He could not make head or tail of them. The letters, seemed to merge into one another. This alarmed Bill even
