Fairy Sightings!

By: Mykelti Fisher

Last Saturday, the twenty-seventh of October, there were numerous reports of fairy sightings in the Athens area. Many witnesses claimed to see the fairies around midnight. The following morning, they contacted the authorities reporting the sightings. Nick Bottom, one of the witnesses, explains what he saw. “It was eerie, I heard the laughter before I saw them. They were small, shimmering, balls of light in the distance at first, once they saw me they floated closer, one actually perched on the tip of my nose! I was scared stiff, I didn’t know what they were capable of, so I didn’t move or say a thing”. Another eye witness, Robin Goodfellow, a traveller just passing through Athens, also comments, “There are no such thing as fairies, Bottom must have been mistaken”.

There recently has been fairy sigthings in the Athens area. We even got the chance to talk to a witness!
