I recommend you read the works of Jacques Vallee, an astrophysicist who was hired by the French and US government to investigate the UFO phenomenon in the 1960s with Dr J Allen Hynek (the guy who came up with the "Close encounters" ). He found that there is a close correlation between fairy lore, modern alien abductions, angels, and just about all folklore around the world involving otherworldly beings (no less the "little people" of various traditions 'round the globe)

@spookykumquat3 Good recommendation. John Keel is interesting on this subject too.

If it was 11 O'Clock at night when you went to the mound in the field, it would have been pitch black, so I don't see how you could have seen fairy horses or, indeed, anything, unless you had torches or lamps with you, which you don't mention in the video.

@onceaboy1947 I think I mentioned moonlight, but if I didn’t I should have.

Hello, Herbie! In 2007 my co-hosts and I interviewed you on our old Internet radio show "The Paranomalists" (now defunct). I currently run a blog by the same name (I'd give out the URL, but I don't know if the YouTube folks will flag my comment as spam). We truly enjoyed speaking with you and I'm now in the process of writing a new article on the subject of your Fairy Horses account, which you also related to us during the interview. Please look for it online after June 2. Thanks, John Carlson.

@jhc827 Hi John, nice to hear from you again. You were right about YouTube flagging your post as spam, but I’ve unflagged it now and will Google your blog to have a look. Take care. Herbie

@minecraftws even satan is a creature of God. Ooops! God is not a physical being as your Bible or Koran says. Nothing can exist without God!

[mrcuteblackie]

@Winx065 yes, they like you. one just told me that

Exist*

I am a Christian and believe in God, Angels, and demons. I think that fairies do exist, my parents told me the tooth fairy did not exit though. If fairies are real then they must be creatures of God.

fairies are nature spirits of the air. They were God's creatures with a role in nature.

Given that it was 11pm on Halloween in 1971 when you saw the fairy horses, I would imagine that you and Jim were stoned.
